Fifer54 Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Tomorrow is the big day, I've got the supplies of pop and crisps, oh, and , especially . My Do24 is patiently awaiting the start signal and I'm impatiently awaiting it. Only a few hours now and we can start. . .
splinter Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 I'm still in past - "Air/Sea Rescue GB" starting September 3rd...
Fifer54 Posted September 12, 2011 Author Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) Gather round, chaps, I need to talk to you. . . I've had a PM from a BM member who would like to participate in this GB with a particularly interesting converted ASR aircraft. (No names at this stage), but he reckons it's 50% built (he's been building since July) I'm minded to ask the gentleman to post a build thread and "build along" with us. He tells me he's not interested in the prizes, just in sharing the experience and getting some encouragement, so I'd ask him to post his "finished" pix in his build thread rather than the gallery, and he wouldn't take part in the poll. What do you all think about that? Edited September 12, 2011 by MadNurseGaz
the South African Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 No objections here!The more the merrier! Regards: Shaun

Erwin Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) Hi all, I"m planning to join this GB soon. I normally only build WW-2 planes. But I will look out for a nice ambulance,police,etc - car in scale 1/24 th at the big IPMS show in Belgium next month. I think it will be a welcome change. Edited September 18, 2011 by Erwin

ferny Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 How did i miss this one! Count me in, not sure with what just yet!
Mark M Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 i sitill want to join this but dont have anything for it
splinter Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 i sitill want to join this but dont have anything for it No SAR subjects in stash? Fire truck? Military Ambulance? Airport Police? Maritime patrol aircraft? Airborne firefighting? I could do ordinary Pilatus PC-9M from our CroAF, 'cause they're used for maritime patrol duties... Only equipment crew has for this is digital camera... I could do ordinary Mi-171Sh from our CroAF, 'cause they're are used for SAR - witohut any special markings or equipment to differ from ordinary ones ... C'mon, clean dust from your stash once more...
Giorgio N Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 I'm a bit late, but I'm joining with a kind of kit that I neer thought I'd have built: a 1/144 Grumman Albatross in Italian Air Force SAR service. I usually don't build 1/144, but I found the very nice A-model kit for a fiver at a model show and grabbed one. When I then saw this GB was on I thought it would have been the perfect excuse to start building this right away. The kit comes with US decals but some roundels from the spares and some home printed code should sort the markings. Some work will also be required to convert the kit in the right version.... nothing too difficult hopefully !
Kev1n Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 ummm....I'm living in the past......oh well....I'm jhere now.....just think seakings

splinter Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 A question for mods: I made a small guide for vacforming, for CliffB's Breda 44 project. It has some 20-30 pics and 7 pages, all in English. I sent him a PDF file, but I'm willing to share it with everyone here. So, should I open a new topic in Tools 'n' tips or is there a way to post a file here on britmodeller? Would be quite happy if someone with more experience with vacforming would check it first. Cheers, Tomislav

Fifer54 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Posted October 11, 2011 OK, we're well into this GB now, lots of models under way, a few even finished. We've got plastic kits, resin kits, white metal kits, OOB builds, lots of aftermarket. Couldn't wish for a more varied group build. I'd have thought we'd have seen more yellow helicopters, tho' . . .Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about that, just commenting. . .
Kev1n Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 I have a yellow helo......only it's already built....

What do you all think about that? Hi MadNurseGaz, thank you for the introduction: my biggest apologies for adding the topic only now after more than a month, actually I've been overwhelmed by my daily job and found very little time even for browsing the site! Last monday I restarted working on the SB-29 so I now added my post, hope it will be interesting for the other members. regards Fabio
Kev1n Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 actually I've been overwhelmed by my daily job and found very little time even for browsing the site! you are not alone...trust me....your not. As I type this, taking an breif break from the daily tedium, I think of a faraway place I would like to be, a mythical place of hallowed halls and rows of plastic candy..... then reality kicks in and I have to return to the tedium and if I'm lucky, I might even get around to doing something to my sea kings......
Fifer54 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Posted December 6, 2011 Well chaps, we seem to be suffering from a general loss of Modelling Mojo on this GB. Serious lack of progress to lots of entries. I don't know what I can say to encourage you all, my model's finished! There are some great entries to this GB, I'd love to see them all finished. . .
