Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Plenty of time to decide what to build. I might do one of the Glencoe re-issues of classic 1950s space kits, such as the 3-stage ferry rocket, or nuclear-powered space station; although I'm more likely to do one or more Star Wars kits.

As is the Nuclear space satellite - the long dumbell-thingie. I've built one of the Three-stage ferries and it's painted, and really is a nice kit, but I'm still to finish the launch site dio for it. This particular Science Faction genre is one of my favourite, so doubtless I'll be looking in that direction too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the warning though. Obi-Jiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyT Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Can I just design and build my own scratchbuild? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Velociweiler Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Can I just design and build my own scratchbuild? Just adding to what Mark has said - if your project is based within a Science Fiction, fantasy or space orientated background, with your own story\explanation to match. The matter really arises because there's already a 'what-if' Group Build to start shortly, so if your project is more a contrivance based in fact, it might be worth considering adding it to that group build?

spitfire23bc Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I'll probably be doing something Star Wars (1/48 X-Wing sounds likely), but I do quite fancy a BSG Viper as well... Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spitfire23bc Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 ive got my eye on the x wing, i feel the whole of rouge sqn on the cards I should know this, but do they have different markings? If so it would be fun to represent them all between us. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark M Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 i have no idea, but your right it would be cool to represent rougw sqn, so maybe a sub section of the gb, x, b ,a wings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Velociweiler Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I should know this, but do they have different markings? If so it would be fun to represent them all between us.Dan There are several. In the main - the red cheat along the fuselage side changes in pattern, varying from full field to interruptions by gaps. Behind the wing marking Chevron are a series of 'tabs' which delineate the number of the fighter - i.e. Red Four, Five, Six etc. Beyond that are detail differences in odd yellow panels, outlines etc, plus variations in the specific Artoo unit carried behind the cockpit. If you really wanted to get pedantic, each individual pilot has a differently marked helmet too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire23bc Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Ah of course, and I hadn't thought about the different astromechs. Definitely up for a Red Squadron sub-section. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousFO98 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Possibilities are: Scratchbuild a Warhammer 40K tank of some description, or if I can get a suitable 1/35 kit cheapo then convert I also have a ship load of conversions that need doing as well as terrain. or maybe scratchbuild Ariel who is the Wood Elf leader. or a stalled resin dragon conversion doubtless other possibilities will pop up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmonk Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Date in diary, thank goodness for electronic gadgets that allow you to look at more than one year. Gives me plenty of time to consider what to build out of the stash: SW 1/72 Falcon Slave 1 2 x Tie fighter (FM or Resin) x-wing AT-ST Snowspeder(not FM) Space 1999 Eagle (resin & WM) War of Worlds Tripod BSG Viper 2 Decisions, decisons, the tripod might get the nod as it isn't SW.

Warren As it happens, I was thinking of scratchbuilding a Martian Collecting Machine in a suitable Victorian diorama - did the Fighting Machine many years ago.

Oily Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Can I enter with something I've already built? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Velociweiler Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Can I enter with something I've already built? Sorry, no. It's a Group Build, if it's already done, it defeats the object. By all means, add a picture of it here, but if you've something you want to add to your collection, and it's within the boundaries of this Group Build, then now's the time to dust it off.
