JeroenS Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I think I'll be doing some armour builds in 2022 so please put me on the list and I'll start to have a look around. Or maybe a big lorry... oh I know: a Scammel! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Yes! I am toying with the idea of the 1/32 HK Lancaster... Which is both! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am doing lots to the house, once finished I am having one of those oak framed timber car ports... I quite like the idea of a giant Lancaster hanging from the rafters with a suitably British GT car underneath. As the shopping list for the next 18 months includes a new kitchen, timber bi-fold doors, a garage and a DB9 I think I can sneak the HK Lancaster in as part of the renovation budget... I may have to invoke the 25% rule and get some sub assembly out the way in advance! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scargsy Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Count me in, I've been looking for an excuse to build my 1/72 Halifax for some time, thought there needs to be a bomber GB at some point, this fits the bill nicely! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I did think about a bomber GB but this seems to be basically the same thing with more added on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) I’ve been toying with scratchbuilding a Bolton and Paul overstrand or a sidestrand but in 1/144, would they count? Edited December 16, 2020 by Marklo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale has no bearing on this. The overstrand is interesting, I think there's a replica cockpit somewhere- should have a full replica built to go with it!

I think maybe 0.9m, which would be 200 ft or so. Now you can build two side-by-side Sorry! Now I've been a maths killjoy, I suppose I'd better register an interest! I would love an excuse to build a Short Stirling, Short Sunderland or Avro Manchester. Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatfingers Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Aye up @Adam Poultney I'm up for this one with either a Churchill, Centurion or a Conqueror (will give me an excuse to buy the Amusing Hobby kit) I see that Amusing Hobby have also announced a Caernarvon so that may also be an option 😉 Regards, Steve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstaff Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 As the only stipulation now is big and British, I'll add to the variation with a Dapol 9f Evening Star loco if I may 😁 Seems a good enough excuse to finally build it 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I'd like to be added to the list please. If it makes it through, I'll buy a Lancaster. I've always wanted an excuse to get one so this would be it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyOD Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Can you put me down for this please Adam. It'd be something Coastal Command. I hope that Whitley we were talking about will be done by then so it'd be a Shackleton, a Wellington (big enough?) or a Halifax. EDIT: Just picked up an Airfix Shackleton MR.2 for a decent price, would prob'ly go with that. Edited May 18, 2021 by TonyOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Tura Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Please put me down for this, Adam. Round the Horne, Armpit Theatre, "Moby Duck": Williams: "Avast! avast!" Horne: "A vast what?" Williams: "I dunno, but its pretty big." Alan 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2996 Victor Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Hi Adam, I'd like to be included in this GB, if I may? I've got absolutely nothing in my stash that's suitable, but it's a good reason to find something! Cheers, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob S Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 So many choices. If Paper Planes are allowed what about Paper Ships. Can think of a fair few big and British ships that were designed but not built. Sign me up and I’ll think of something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Gidday, I don't know if this question has already been asked? Are whiffs allowed, provided they're of a British design and flavour? For example an enlarged fictitious version of a British warship. Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it. After all, I can't help chuckling to myself as I crawl around the carpet looking for a dropped piece for the fourth time in a given evening. Most amusing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Define 'British' please Is it the commonly accepted all of the UK or only GB? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
