new NON ISM group build.

Post by **UKscalemodeller** » Sun Jan 19, 2014 12:48 am

I am planning on running a group build, August - December via my YouTube channel.

This is not in any way linked with ISM other than I have kindly been allowed to post about it here (I will of course post build threads for it here as ever)

Let me know if you are interested.

Interfesting idea! So many possibilities!

I suppose a diorama of, lets say, a tiger tank and a sherman about to blast each other counts...

That would be perfect.

Love the idea, if I can manage to get the figure and have the time, I'd be thinking Batman vs. Bane/Joker/Croc... which ever one I could get that looked decent.

I had planned is starting in may but that would have clashed with the ISM builds I wanted to do and Chancer and Radzy's seaplane build. Plus I'm hoping we will be moving house early this year.

Would be great to have figures in to mix up the usual aircraft and armour.

How about a Tiger and a destroyed Sherman?

Unfortunately that probably technically accurate
The Tiger tank was a beast.
However as a Englishman I say boo to your comment

Hi Ian,

great subject for GB! If it's the QIII-QIV 2014 GB, I will be surely in! Ahh... another one added to the list... and so many subjects! So many kits ...

Cheers,
Radek

That is possibly the best combination I have heard so far.

A GREAT idea

Fireflies used to do it

.

This GB looks like so much fun, what a great idea.

Sounds a go-er to me.

I have a Polar Lights Green Goblin that I picked up. All I gotta do it pick up a Spider Man, and I'm in.

Just to be clear, the start date is August 2014?

This sounds like loads of fun. Would the airfix 1:72 fw190-a8 and the airfix 1:72 spitfire mk.IXc go together?

On the same theme an LMS Coronation Class vs a LNER A4 Gresley Class.
Speed, Grace and Power!

If you did a Gresley A4 I'd have your babies.

They entered production in (I think ) '44 and '42 respectively and both fought to the end of the war so yes, bring it on

Why hasn't someone come up with this before. I'm so in on this one if that's ok.

No idea, it just came to.me!

And by all means join in. The more the merrier.

This won't be a youtube/video only gb, will it? Will we be able to post photos/pics?

YouTube, forum, blog, hell there is even some one on Facebook wanting to join in. As long as there is a build log of some kind from unstarted kits to finished article I don't mind what form it is in.

Am planning an ISM style reveal vid though.

Does anyone make an OO A4 or A3 kit?

...with the burning hulks of 8 other Shermans nearby? Sure, very realistic...

If you have 9 Shermans and a Tiger spare then go for it.

I'm really interested in this group build, as it would give me the opportunity to do my 1st diorama. How about a P-38 and a Bf-109?

Post by **FokkerDXXI** » Wed Feb 26, 2014 8:13 am

i want to build a sophwith camel and a albatros D.III, there's only one problem, i already finished building the albatros

but i haven't started with the camel yet. Can i still enter?

Sounds good to me, a P-38 was jointly responsible for the first Luftwaffe aircraft shot down by the USAAF and any 109F/G or K would fit perfectly.

Would be great to see a single vs twin adversaries.

I'd love to say yes but it would start to dilute the idea behind Group builds. Is there anything else that could fight the camel?

Thanks! Admittedly, I'm going to need to spend some time and get some help gathering the reference materials, but my idea is to do a diorama that somehow captures the earliest North African campaign encounters between the P-38 and the Bf-109, when the USAAF gained Allied air superiority in the Mediterranean.

Is that biting off too much for a maiden voyage into dioramas?

Quick question, is something like plane vs tank or figures vs tank in one diorama suitable? If yes, I'd love to do a Damaskus diorama with a Syrian army tank and some rebels.
