Now I did manage to get five builds primed today, so all things being equal I have quite a few builds that are nearly completed… i have no idea what any of these things are… which is precisely why I think I’m going to enjoy this GB! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd like to indicate hereunder what you have in mind for the GB (brief description of subject, kit manufacturer, scale) it would save me some hassle at showtime, given the number of potential participants and how busy the holiday season can be. You may have already given a heads up above but this thread's over a year old now and there would be much sifting to do. No obligation of course, you can just start your WIP when the time comes, but it would help me out. Mucho appreciado. Please disregard this earlier request, now that @Enzo the Magnificent has opened the GB for business I can just pick them up when threads are started. Some very interesting subjects on the list already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to you all for supporting the Salty Sea Dog GB proposal while it was on the Bunfight campaign trail. Happily the proposal not only made it onto the 2023 calendar, but it did so in fine style, with the most votes for any proposal. Just a heads up that Lord High master of the Group Builds @Enzo the Magnificent has kindly opened the GB thread a little earlier than would normally the case, given the imminent holiday period and all that goes with it, so if you have a build, or (why not) builds in mind, you can start your build thread at your leisure in anticipation of the bottle of champagne being ceremoniously smashed over the bow of HMS Salty Sea Dog on Saturday 7th January, and I'll be happy to add them to the growing build list. Thanks to @Col. who has kindly offered to co-host what promises to be a popular GB to kick off the new modelling year!

Rafwaffe Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Excellent news. Seeing as there a lot of seafires I’ll go with my Original build plan and start a thread and post some pics for my (anti-shipping) airfix beaufighter build when time permits.

Rabbit Leader Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Got your notification Tony, now the hard part… choosing a subject? Thankfully my current research (Post War British Light Carriers in Foreign service) has plenty of juicy and exotic aircraft to choose from, so I just need to land my dart on any one of 10 possible choices before finally deciding which way to go! Shan’t be too much longer… Cheers.. Dave 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Oh damn SSD! My thread drifted towards Sea Hurricanes, especially the Mediterranean SH:s, and now I'm both utterly confused and overwhelmed about all the information I found about them, and that only here at BM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I've got a few options to choose from but the front runners are something from the Ka-27 Helix family (possibly one from the icebreaker Siberia), a CASA 212 Aviocar (Swedish coastguard) and a TA-4J. I'll probably change my mind three or four times before the GB starts though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Good to have you on board John. I understand you're a GB first-timer, so can I point you towards the welcome and rules thread which will tell you how things work? I'll add your build(s) to the build list when you start your WIP thread(s), which can be any time you like. Looking forward to seeing your work, as I've said elsewhere I know nowt about ships and I'm looking forward to learning a bit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I'm afraid the Frankenseafire will emerge (it's still alive!) in the background of my proper build if and when I get to the stage of finishing them side by side 👾 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
