Not sure about that, but it always seems like suddenly I'm sending everything down to the printshop on the same day regardless of when I started them. So there must be some sort of method to my madness... On 3/12/2024 at 10:55 PM, Courageous said: it was owned by Alaska Air Transport Inc and sold to Alaska Coastal Airlines in 1942. That's a beauty! I may look and see if Alaska Coastal had any Ford Tri-motors in the air... And...speaking of which, I am not going to the mainland this weekend after all. That means the Ford goes onto the bench Sunday morning. That'll be 5 builds at once folks. It feels like deja-vu all over again... --John 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarLos Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I will participate with one of these beauties: One is barely started (wing glued) but I may go with the new box. It will be (almost) OOB. Blue or silver, this is the main question - unless I'll try to complicate things looking for the colours of G-AEPJ. Carlos 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul821 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Although my GB activity during 2024 has been somewhat slow, with one not started and two stalled. I have been looking for suitable subjects for this GB what .would fit into my WW2 era project which includes a lot of railway modelling and use of none injection moulded materials. As the 1930's were the golden age of design for London Transport my thoughts went towards the Charles Holden designed buildings of the time. During my research I found this which is Gants Hill station construction site, just pre-war which would make an interesting diorama. However I do have a couple of ideas of how to progress to a formal offering and hope to have something to add to the GB prior to the start date, Hint see https://www.lttractiongroup.co.uk/downloads.html 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in any case I've really got too much on my plate already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I love art deco design’s, Id have to start a new build for structures of history. 1 hour ago, John Masters said: Anyone have this vintage decal sheet they want to get rid of?

I was at the Bury St Edmunds Model Railway show today and saw these on their club sales stand. Designed in the late 1920's and mainly built in the 1930's, at £5 each they called out to be purchased as an entry in this GB. More details in the build thread when I establish it. I know @Enzo the Magnificent is also entering a couple of trams one of which is a Feltham, so I hope he does not mind me adding these two. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toryu Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Hi golden-agers, I offered Dennis @Corsairfoxfouruncle the banner that I created for my thread for use as a common groupbuild banner. He chose this design: Here are a few alternatives that you can adjust to your needs if you'd like to display your model within it for instance. I hope you like them, Michael 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Pat The Tiger-Moth’s first flight was October 26th 1931 and the Fieseler’s would be a first flight in 1933. Yep both qualify for the build Pat. However I know you and would go out on a limb to say the Fieseler is definitely more your style. Dennis 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
