A red 109 would look nice next to a blue 209, eh @Courageous? Actually, whilst I’m in a Spitfirey frame of mind (currently the FROG XIV), I might have a look at taking the Airfix ‘70s one and making a prototype out of it… Regards, Adrian [edit: sorry Chris it was Stuart wot built the 209, not you] [edit: Sunday will be my Blitzbuild day coz everyone else will be out of the house ] 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 Well, that's the first day of the Blitzbuild heading to a close. I haven't been able to look at every build as I've been working frantically on my own build. But that's what the evening is for... I'm really pleased to see that there are two entries in the gallery already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 Wow! There are two pages of build threads!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Well; done and done: fun but I wouldn’t want to be building like that too often. One thing I did learn was that Tamiya dark yellow on bare grey plastic can be made to look like a preshade… Now have to start planning for the next one I definitely think some armour maybe that Panzer II that’s loitering in the stash, hmm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Then there’s the question of colour scheme. I’m leaning towards the black and white and rattlecans. That said I probably have the camo colour in rattlecan form too, hmmmm……opinions?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonelKrypton Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) ColonelKrypton's Blitz Build 2022 attempt - 1915 Tracteur Blinde Filtz Scratchbuild - Finis! That was a good challenge and lots of fun. Just under 16 hours total time from start to class photos. When is the next one? I have only now just got caught up reviewing everyone's build threads and the gallery. Well done everyone. cheers, Graham Edited August 29, 2022 by ColonelKrypton tinger frouble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonelKrypton Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Out of curiosity I counted the number of rivets use in my Tracteur Blinde Filtz model - 427 plus I broke 8 0.5mm drill bits, time to order some more cheers, Graham 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) That was fun. Some great builds. Have to start planning for the next, one, maybe find something feasible to scratch build. Edited August 30, 2022 by Marklo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theplasticsurgeon Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Huge thanks to @Enzo Matrix for organizing and hosting this GB - and contributing his quality Eagle. Blitzbuild was never something that I considered joining in with, whilst I was working. Now I'm asking myself "why not?" - all that fun I missed. Now that I've seen that I can, plans are afoot for the Christmas/New Year GB. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdavidson Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Sadly, I wasn't able to participate; sometimes real-life stuff must intrude on (badly) sticking bits of plastic together I'm only just now getting caught up after nearly a week away. Not there yet Well done to everyone who took part. Looks like a lot of fun was had, shame I missed it Roll on the christmas Blitzenbuild. I hope I can get hold of the kit I want to build then /P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
