Redstaff Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Right I'll throw my hat in the ring with this one then It was a charity shop find for £9-50, but gave the the tenner because that's the kind of high roller I am I've only ever built 1 bike before and it didn't go well, so this could be entertaining 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six97s Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Thanks for adding me. My bargains are all car kits, so I'll be back in my comfort zone. The venerable AMT 260 Cobra looks favourite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackroadkill Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Just had a weird Groundhog Day moment; scored exactly the same Airfix 109E kit for under ten pounds..... Might make both of them for the GB now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 My third and final build secured,Italeri 1/72 Flanker still sealed for £6.50 on that auction site,should sit well with the F-15 in the flanker scheme. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomjw Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Okay, I'm in. I just need to check out my stash. Favourite at the moment is a battered Italeri 1/72 Flying Boxcar which I picked up for £8 from my club a year ago. Looking forward to this. It's been ages since I put any of my builds online. And it's been even longer since I took part in a group build. Cheers, Tom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 This one has sneaked up on me, I've got unfinished builds all over the place Really need to get some finished before I start yet another one. However that won't stop me looking out my next victim. Cheers Pat 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pleased this GB has encouraged to put a build online again and, indeed, take part in a GB! I'm looking forward to following your build. I have added you to the list in my the first post and you are on at number 80! Eighty signups for a GB is pretty impressive!

Then some years later I decided to give it away as a gift (long story), Then a few years ago I managed to pick up another one second-hand for just 15 Euro. I also have the AC-119K and C-119C kits, the latter with the Dodge truck and reference booklet. I like to think of kits such as these as part of my retirement plans, but if the opportunity (excuse?) arises to build one over the next few years, who knows? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muchmirth Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Hi Stix, As you'll see from message before, I'd like to join this one if possible? Not sure which one I'll do yet, possiably a 1/72 is-2 I have in the stash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Today's journey into the stash, flushed out a classic for this GB. Still with the price label on, which has a story behind it. It was bought for a knockdown price with my paper round money back in the late 1970's, a case of being in the right place at the right time. Being a tease, I'll keep what it is, till the start of the GB, however it's a much bigger more complicated build than I had planned so I had better get some of my current ones done before starting yet another one !

I hope everyone is keeping well and that you are all ready for the start of this GB next Saturday!! (15th May 2021) I'm hoping to get my two kits washed, in warm soapy water, later today so I can start first thing next Saturday morning. @Enzo Matrix usually starts the GB area for a new GB, sometime during the week before the start date, in the Current Group Build section. Make sure you keep checking the Current Group Build section over the next week and you can start your thread during the next week....but don't start your actual build until Saturday 15th May. I'm looking forward to seeing all your projects get underway. Take care and stay well. Kind regards, Stix 16 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray S Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 @PlaStix, I had not forgotten (which is a miracle!) and will be in for this, but I have two other GB's in progress at the moment, so I will be a bit late joining. I will be keeping up with the builds though! I am looking forward to the time I can join in! Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Benefit of having my stash details on Excel! Filter out those vouched and planned for other GBs, then sort on price paid. In the spirit of the rules, I eliminated those (gifts) costing me 0. Just 35 left to choose from. Grand reveal - next weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Excel is at the original version...stacks of old cardboard boxes! It's really fun digging about and re-organizing, etc... 25 minutes ago, theplasticsurgeon said: Filter out those vouched and planned for other GBs, then sort on price paid. Wow! That is highly organized... I better get a move-on with the three builds currently on my bench. If I am industrious I might be able to have tow of them finished by the time this GB begins! For this one I chose the first three that fit the bill. I am sure there are more. Two were in Euros (7.90€ and 5.90€ respectively) so they work out to £6.87 and £5.13 in today's market. Then there is the kit that is still in its shrink-wrap with a sticker on it that says clearly £1.75. I think I'll start with that one! --John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I'm racing to get my Panzer III finished in time. I'll be building something for it to fight against for this GB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I'll probably just end up doing one of Tamiya's classic 1/100 kits that I picked up for $2.50 on a clearance sale. Quick n' dirty...then I can carry on with the other planned (and in-progress) builds. One I did for the Blitzenbuild last year. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim R-T-C Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I really need to monitor my GBs better! Got an open Desert Storm and Africa GB to finish this month, Unarmed underway and pledges for T6 and non-injection. So of course today I started a Panzer III GB build 😏 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
