Tzulscha Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Hmm. Never done a group build, but I have a Mantua ships gun kit that this might help me get motivated for. Wood and brass and a fair whack of scratch building. Will that fit in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjwomack Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Brass, oh that's another medium on the list. I expect Lord of is will be intrigued by that We all built our first Gb once, I've even finished a couple! But they are hugely stimulating and supportive events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 @Mjwomack you might need to explain the LP reference in the title to younger BMers! Great to see this GB is in the poll. Really, really want it to happen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjwomack Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 And there was me fretting that I'd have to explain to older BMers that it's possible to play things other than shellac 78s on the gramophone equipment. Anyhow vinyl is back, not that anyone's proposed either shellac or vinyl for a build....yet 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, there's a thought, I have a vague recollection that shellac can be used to fix wax? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is another shelf that has about half this amount of LP's that have been replaced by CD's. My youngest daughter has laid claim to the whole vinyl collection once I push off this mortal coil.

No it's the ones in the middle that don't know what an L.P. is. My daughter's just gone off to uni with a box of vinyl and a turntable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malpaso Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Anyway count me in for the GB, got vacs, whitemetal and even a wood kit in the stash, though I think the wood one barely counts as 25% present let alone built as there's only 5 wooden parts left of an original wartime kit! Cheers Will PS with me added I've probably ruined the L.P. reference! Edited September 16, 2019 by malpaso Ps added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I have a number of Magna resin kits and a fair number of vacforms that I fancy doing. I also have 4mm resin and white metal parts that I am planning to build as the Guy Vixen my grandfather used to drive for a fruit and veg wholesaler in Nottingham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 so that's where Vlad hides his secret list on who's been naughty and who's been nice!! Now who's brave enough to tell him we use airbrushes for big jobs like that now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think you need to give him an airbrush? But suddenly he asks: "Are this airbrush made in Russian Federation? ......whaat????......No Russian Federation airbrush????"...after which a lot of billions of money from the Russian Federation budget will be spent on the development of a national Russian Federation airbrush ..... most of the details in which all the same will be "Made in China". (sad joke) In addition, maybe he basically does not use an airbrush, because he paints according to the old Russian technique called Khokhloma: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khokhloma ??? 😉 B.w. there is some truth in every joke....some modelers told me that on rumors in the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation there is a large and good collection of figures of soldiers on various scales and different eras. I also know for sure the model assembled by well known Russian modelers which is in a permanent exhibition Russian Federation MoD. So, modeller's are everywhere! 😉😎 B.R.
