I dop have a Masterpiece Models Hellcat (not plain but biped robot type thingy) that would probably be prefect for this......gotta have my resin fix! So pleased that the Life President of Resin Dust Anonymous will be along! I'm relying on you and @Pin to be knowledgeable! I'll do the tea and biscuits! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Recently I have built more resin and vacforms than traditional injection kits so I'm up for something new and non-injected. So it will be something 3D printed, Scylla, Do-X or HP-42 in 1/72 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Kay Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I can’t guarantee all these will get built during the group build, but there’s some very long term stash residents I’d like to try and put together. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Brilliant, glad this finally got through after 2 years and I'm still alive to participate!! Sadly I completely missed the poll so glad you all worked the magic and got it done! I've got so many options to choose from, so much resin! \o/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I'll be getting all nostalgic during the GB. Not the usual kit memories or old paint and glue, more how I spent a big chunk of my life in the real world. I'm a retired LFB Firefighter and spent some incredibly happy years at B24 Dockhead. I went there from B22 Lambeth when Dockhead got its pump back. That would be around 1982 or so. The station got a bit of media exposure when Londons Burning was filmed there. Complete cobblers as far as real life went but they paid well for extra work and had an excellent grub wagon when filming was on. Kingsway made an OO scale card model of the station and you could have knocked me down with a feather when I discovered it! The building is now gone. Knocked down for a new plastic box, built in a PFI deal that saw someone get rich. The Pub next door is now flats. Gotta go, something in my eye.... Tony. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Please sign me up for this one! I've been looking for an excuse to build this one ever since I got it (not so long ago): I have the extra wheels as well so it should come out looking something like this (I hope! 🙂) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd not thought much about it, but this is possibly the first GB 3D printing can really make it's mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reini Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Oh boy, seems that I need to get a new kit for this GB, my stash is full of injection moulded kits and nothing else. 😮 Probably an airplane - I've been looking at PJ Productions resin F-84F Thunderstreak for a while now. There's not really any decent injection moulded Thunderstreak available in 1:72 so even more reason to get that kit. @JeroenS on the other hand gave me another idea, with the amazing looking resin work machines by Balaton Models. That could be fun too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray S Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) Can you please confirm that if we do a vacform, we can get it cut out and prepped prior to the start date? I have loads of vacforms and would like to give one a go at least! (Unless I do a scratchbuild again) Congrats on getting this GB through!

reini Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 @JeroenS... or maybe you should make a plane But I have to admit, Im particularly drawn towards this kit: https://www.balatonmodellshop.co.uk/DT-74-dozer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I've got a few options. There's no way all these will be built - I'm going to try for three builds, but even two might be a stretch given that I've also got plans for the ANZAC, Africa and Unarmed GBs. There's a chance that one or two of these will appear in the Unarmed or High Wing GBs instead though. First choice is currently the Welsh Models Boeing 747SP. I'm planning to build it as the NASA SOFIA aircraft which will require some modifications that will be 3D printed. I might even have a go at opening the door and showing the telescope. Next on the list is an Anigrand 1/72 Boeing YC-14. I got this for a very low price from a seller on Facebook who advertised it as 1/144 - I can't remember exactly what I paid but it would have been a very good price for the 1/144 kit too - at the time I thought the postage cost was a bit steep but it made sense when I saw the size of the box that turned up! I don't know where it's going to go when it's finished but I'll deal with that when I have to. I really want to build this next year so if I don't get it done in this GB it'll be in the High Wing GB later in the year. Others include a Rus-Air 1/144 resin Tupolev Tu-114, Braz 1/144 Tu-126 conversion with Trumpeter wings, Isracast 1/48 Dornier 27 and Welsh Models 1/72 Embraer 145 Plus I might have to have a go at a chocolate Easter egg plane! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward excitedly, Ray It's the casual, I can always do another scratch build that I like😂. To relieve the boredom yet to cutting out the vac form, if be pretty sure that'll be under the standard 25% rule 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 you know if I'm feeling particularly game and time is on my side I may build my Collect-Aire F2H-3/4 Banshee!!! It looks to be one of the better Collect-Aire releases, so it may be doable. Seeing I'm build 3 other VF-31 aircraft in 2021 I may as well go for a 4th! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I suppose I should sign up. The following Anigrand Craftswork resin kits are literally staring me in the face every day (all "approximately" 1:72 - there are some well known oops in this collection): Vought XF8U-3 "Crusader III" Douglas XA2D-1 "Skyshark" Republic XF-103 "Thunderwarrior " North American XF-108 "Rapier" Bell XF-109 "Didn't Get Far Enough Along For A Nickname" Since only the first two actually got in the air, and in accordance with my "handle," it'll probably be one or both of those. Cheers, Bill 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
