JOCKNEY Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 Hi @THEscaleSHOW Delighted you could join us and with one of the armoured kits that has its own diorama it's the perfect choice. Still a few sleeps between now and starting so try not to get too excited too early ! Cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephLalor Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Please add me to the list. I think I've a dozen or so kits hidden away in various boxes so I should have a decent chance of finding something of interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 Welcome @JosephLalor Great to have you with us. As Matchbox covered such a wide variety of subjects, I'm hoping that we see lots of non aircraft builds in this one. Anyone got the 1/72 convoy escort Corvette lurking in the stash ?

Cheers Pat Thanks Pat. I haven't got the Flower Class, but I'd certainly like to get my hands on it. Whether I'd do it justice is another matter. I have the 1/700 HMS Duke of York alright, but haven't seen it in years and can't remember if I started it. Weekend agenda item perhaps: get all the Matchbox kits into one storage box. I imagine D of Y was selected for kitting due to carrying Sir Bruce Fraser's flag at North Cape. Edited June 2, 2021 by JosephLalor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 I aim to be very flexible with regards to previously started kits, @Rabbit Leader and I want as many participants and builds as possible, so if this is a chance to restart a long stalled build, all the better !

Ned Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Ooh, I'd love to join this GB. Matchbox kits for me trigger happy memories of summer holidays in Great Yarmouth, because the caravan site shop sold them. We went to the same place for years so I ended up with quite a collection, usually with bits broken off during the long journey home. I don't have any stashed away, I'll have to start looking... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 Hi @Ned Great to hear from you, and you are a very welcome addition to the GB. Just to further remind you of your journey home I thought this was appropriate Enjoy Cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, after so many hints to post these images on here, an ‘anonymous’ BM member wanted me to put up these (I’m not jealous) Matchbox photos in order to help bump this thread a little. So, here’s another three photos that absorb my free 1000 image Flickr account to whet your appetite.. Those who think that I deserve one of the four HS125 kits on view here, please say eye!! Cheers..

Dave That sounds like a Poll. So “Eyes” for those agree. “Nose” for those who disagree. And “Ears” for those who think Dave needs to do more to “earn” a HS125 kit. (It would have been a lot easier if he’d dropped a Birthday hint pre the 12th and I’m not ruling out that he did only “old timers” disease means I can’t remember!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
