Damocles Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Hi Mark, Would Mig Productions '38TX Walking Flame Thrower Tank' be acceptable for this GB ?. Regards, Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark M Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 i have no idea what that is but if its not real and sci fi then go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damocles Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Cheers Mark, In that case, please add me to the list. I will get cracking and post up some information so all will become clear. Regards, Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 This looks interesting. Tell me, just so I get the rules straight in my mind, are 'What-ifs?' allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark M Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 yes you can do Wifs, theres a clue in the title 'FICTION!' lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyP Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 True Mark, but the science bit can trip people up, for example a WWII Avro lancaster Bomber painted in say Imperial Japanese colours might not qualify as sci-fi, but is certainly 'what if' BUT an Avro Vulcan Bomber painted up in the same with a story about how it hit a time vortex and ended up in Japan would :)i think thats the clarification don was asking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 You could always try a Dr Who space-going Spitfire... ahem... propellers in space... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark M Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 You could always try a Dr Who space-going Spitfire... ahem... propellers in space... lol i thought about that as i was posting, it would have to be modelled in a bubble, maybe a hamster ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) It was a joke actually. Never mind though. If I HAD been serious I'd have meant "Can I write my own Sci Fi story and then build something to fit it?" I have no plans to do this, by the way, I'm just rambling on a bit.

It'sAllGoneHorriblyWrong Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 ... "Can I write my own Sci Fi story and then build something to fit it?" ... Blimey! All those GBs on the go at the same time and now you want to write a story! I reckon you've got a time vortex of your own (or have you converted your armchair into an H.G. Wells Time Machine? I wouldn't put it past you). Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 i know one member in the past has made a starwars spitfire and lancaster with all the appropriate mods not just paint, Thanks for the heads up buddy!! I have plans for a whole Star Wars fleet based on WWII aircraft, might even try to sneak one in here but will definitely be doing a couple in the next Whif GB! Unfortunately the Lancaster Falcon did not survive the house move so I may have to do that one again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) So how does that work? R2D2 poking out behind the pilot on a Spitfire? got any photos? Edited October 3, 2011 by Kallisti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Kallisti, It works fairly simple, take a WWII plane modify it slightly for space travel, paint it in the appropriate scheme and there you have it. Build threads for X-fire and Lancaster Falcon. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=51438 http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=53442 Cheers, Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I seem able to do is look at other's work and have big ideas without actually making anything solid for a couple of weeks now. Diagnosis - catastrophic loss of mojo. (I'm only building in the Pacific War GB anyway; just talking about some others.) Edited October 3, 2011 by per ardua ad ostentationem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 This isn't a GB entry, just a curiosity. My son made these sci-fi, horror models from confectioner's chocolate. It's building up into a Halloween cake. The paint is food colouring in powder form, mixed with food grade alcohol. Once the alcohol evaporates the powder is deposited exactly where he wants it. That method may work with modelling pigments too. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonb13 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Hey all... Just wanted to say Hi and to say that I posted on the 'Future GB' thread for this GB a few months ago saying that I hope to do the Battlestar Galactica, as I'm hoping to make it for a mate of mine. Well, now that the GB has started, I *still* hope to join with the Galactica. I just have to buy the bloody thing first! And I'm looking for the decals / PE sets as well. If I'm right, this GB goes on 'til the end of Feb, so everything going to plan ( and when does that happen? ) I'll have plenty of time to get all the bits and pieces and join the GB. Thanks! J.

jacksdad Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hi Mark. Just to let you know that as soon as I get my hands on the Airfix Angel Interceptor I will be joining in, as I'm sure a few others will. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
