PlaStix Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 Well it seems like we have reached the 5th August already!! Where has the time gone?! We now have just one calendar month until the end of this GB! The final day to get your completed projects in the Gallery will be Sunday 5th August - in four weeks and three days! We already have 48 fantastic, completed builds in the Gallery! Hopefully we'll have a few more added over the next month.......including mine.......I hope!! If you are still working on your projects, I hope they go well and I will try and catch up with a few more builds in the near future. Good luck! Kind regards, Stix 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Thanks for the reminder @PlaStix. My new fan arrived this week so I can resume spraying. Guess I should look into dragging one of those little 1/100 Tamiya kits out this weekend and see if I can get one knocked out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim R-T-C Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Damn, time flies. Had a busy month of not being able to get to the bench. Hopefully got some time this weekend to prise something out of the stash. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray S Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 @PlaStix, can I please just have a bit of clarification? I am building the Airfix Albatros DVa, but it needs a little help. The prop is beyond use, and the guns supplied are, how shall I put it?, rubbish. I have a Roden Albatros DI and it has a spare prop (I will use the Airfix spinner) and a couple of spare guns. Can you give me the okay to use them please, they will constitute a very small %age of the build, but they really are needed. Many thanks, and a huge thankyou for looking after us all in this great Group Build. Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray In case the answer is delayed: I got an ok to use a spare Roden engine for my old Airfix 504 - this seems completely analoguous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Oh no, less than a month to go, where is the headless chook emoticon? Run Chicken Licken, the sky is falling. I'll see what I can manage Steve. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We now have just one calendar month until the end of this GB! This is that rare occasion when I can put my hands behind my head and lean back in my chair with a smug look on my face, safe in the knowledge that my modest submission was banked in the gallery weeks ago. I've come a cropper more than once by overfacing myself by going for long, complex builds for GBs and trying to fit them round (or rather balance them with) the other stuff that I have going on in life. This GB has told me that for GB purposes a little single-engined prop can be massively satisfying and no less valid. Thanks for hosting, @PlaStix! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klr Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Finally, with just a few weeks to go, my projected build list, all The One True Scale: Airfix Tiger I ("new" kit, placeholder thread already started) Italeri A-10 Revell (ex-Trumpeter) An-2 Revell (ex-Lindberg) He 162 Airfix Hawker Hunter FGA.9 Airfix Tiger Moth ("new" kit, "starter pack" boxing) There is a reasoning behind each choice, other than them just being cheap, which will be explained in each build thread. And there's also the Bf 109 GB to contend with over the next few weeks. Sheesh ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I got these four kits for €5 each yesterday. The Rafale will go into the French Fancy GB but if time allows I may have s go at one of the mugs or the Ansaldo. Less than a tenner II anybody ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Marklo, @AdrianMF, @Ravnos and @jackroadkill I'm glad you all have obviously enjoyed this GB enough, to want to do it again! This was, in fact, the Less Than A Tenner 'II' GB - the 'II' got missed off the title. Under the new (from last year) GB rules, there now has to be three years between the same GB being repeated. So I'll try and remember to propose the LTAT III GB in a couple of years time! We currently have 60 fantastic completed builds in the Gallery. Hopefully we'll have a few more over the next couple of weeks. Kind regards, Stix 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I've just finished an inventory, stock checking and re-boxing of my stash/stock and I've found three contenders which I might like to do. I have very many more which fit this GB but these three tickle my toes I need to check certain things about one of the contenders though Question; Would I need to start a new WiP thread? or just carry on from my Dee-Arrs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventora3300 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) I'll sneak in with this one if I may, the Airfix Chance Vought F4U-1D in the Red Stripe packaging. I think Airfix are still producing this kit with different decals but not in the delicious sea blue plastic of yesteryear! The plan will be to keep as much of that original plastic showing as poss. and so reduce build time! I checked and I paid under a tenner for this from e-bay some years ago.
