wimbledon99 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I may have to bow out. I'm failing miserably with the '75th GB' and as a result haven't started the 'Year Born GB' yet (which was bought as a Birthday pressie for me). Not had time at the bench for a while now and this may stay the same for a while longer. If things change, I have everything here ready to go. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand completely and of course Im sorry to hear your having trouble. However life is more important and it does have a way of interrupting the fun of modeling. I will keep a lookout for you in the off chance life takes a break and you get sone time at the bench. Of course until then you have the forum and everyone else's modeling. Poor substitute i know but its the only thing. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Bought a couple of figures on eBay this week so have a couple interesting new options 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim R-T-C Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Hi all, I would be interested in this one. Recently picked up a USS Balao kit which I plan to paint in a mix of red and white primers... I have also got an F14A with Final Countdown decals somewhere in the stash that I need to built at some point. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing you build the Stingray. The F-14 would be another good option, tough choices or you could build them both ? I have added you to the list on page one.

Greg Law Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Is there a start date for this GB yet? I'm have just won a 1/48 Buchon kit on Ebay today and thought it would be perfect for this GB done as a BOB movie plane. I have the decals coming for yellow 10, but I thought I will change it to yellow 11 which is very prominent in one of the movies shots. By still framing I can get the weathering to match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Well I always like to support most GB's but can't think of what to do for this,when I first saw it I thought of the Monkey mobile from the sixties TV show which I loved but rare as hen's teeth these days.I'm having a look on KK at the film and TV section I noticed Revells HMS Bounty obviously tied in to the film from way back then having a conversation with my eldest whose a sailing ship builder he suggested the Zvezda Acheron as per Master and commander would either be eligible?

Any and everything would be Eligible steve. Either one of the Sailing vessels would be grand additions. Though is 4 months enough time to build and rig a sailing ship ? The Monkee's Mobile would of course be awesome. Considering its a 66 GTO that would be great coming from an old Pontiac man. Im looking forward to seeing which you decide to go with.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Hello everybody... Well build time is only a couple of weeks away. I was curious if anyone may be interested in assisting me with hosting responsibilities. I know Sabre_days and Whitestar are listed but i haven't heard from either of them in a long while. I would still do most of the work. However with three simultaneous builds, I'm going to look like a gorilla trying to run a marathon in the forest. If you're interested please let me know ?

Prenton Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Recently got the 1:144 Fantastic Plastic resin kit of the Rocinante from the series "The Expanse". Is this eligible for the GB? Thanks, Philip 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Network and ive never heard of this ? Im used to the idea as it is a common premise in many storylines about mans future, and an independent Mars. Several with a Cold war or even Hot war between the two planets. I have gone and added you to the primary list on page 1. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prenton Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Great series. First two year long series were on SyFy. Then switched to Amazon Prime. Pretty faithful to the books. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) Question, a figure subject of a fallen angel - I believe falls under fictional, and would qualify, or does it further have to be associated with a film or specific storyline? regards, Jack Edited September 15, 2019 by JackG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"fictional subjects from media other than film and television (novels, comics, video games, etc.) and original speculative or creative concepts are all included." I will say it definitely counts. Even if it had been questionable i would have most likely allowed it. Simply because a figure would be a good addition to a group build as we don't see to many of them in group builds.

JackG Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Thanks Dennis, so good chance that is what I'll go with. Resin bust I picked up earlier this year: regards, Jack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 @Corsairfoxfouruncle Dennis you should try and watch that series "The Expanse". It's awesome, one of the best Sci-fi series around at the moment, I'm desperately waiting for season 4 which is due out in December. Plus I've read Amazon has signed it up now for a 5th season as well!! If you get stuck I can help out with Co-hosting. 9 hours ago, Prenton said: Recently got the 1:144 Fantastic Plastic resin kit of the Rocinante from the series "The Expanse". oooo I might have to go and have a look at one of these!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When can we start posting our threads....not that I’m excited at all 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When can we start posting our threads....not that I’m excited at all Well I'm thinking when this moves from future to current builds this weekend. We will all be busy little builders starting threads, and there will hopefully be a grand turnout. Im trying to decide do i do three separate threads or two or one ? I may eventually have a fourth build if i can scrounge up a Revell Stearman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
