Hey, including me we have hit the 30 participant level...not bad for a week
That was my initial goal so we are off to a great start, well done everybody

I'm #2

Does that make me Captain Poop?

Uhhh, ok if you like

I was voicing a concern, not a hope!

[Stokesy44]

This looks like a go, not sure what to do, have couple of Lancs a Ju88 but really enjoyed the He111 that I did at the end of last year also got the Revell Atlantique I the stash.
Thinking cap gotta go on.

Les

Now that is the kind of problem we’d all love to have!

I’ve got a B17 and a Mossie to choose between and I can’t decide at the mo. Happy days

Ok Les, glad to have you aboard, well done man
Lots of time to decide on a kit

Right I think I've decided which kit to build. I'm going to go for the f-117. Had it in the stash for ages and need a good reason to build it. Not sure if I will do the box art or not?

Wow, this SiG is alrealy epic - and it hasn't even started yet

You're doing a sterling job putting this together, Scott

[Tomcat64]

Heh - that Motorhead clip takes me back Tommy! No Sleep Til Hammersmith!

Well it has arrived so the Heinkel HE-111 will be a back up

Because this will be my entry for sure

Am I reading that box right? 90.8cm?? As in 3 feet long? I'd need planning permission from the local council before trying to tackle anything that size!

Yep - seen the real thing a few times over the years, just stunned that someone brought out a kit in 1:48 for it.

Looking forward to seeing you work your magic in this one

Thanks Neil
The kit has been around for quite a while
If i remeber it correctly since the late 80's or early 90's
But it has been in production off and on ,not all the time anyway
I'm still looking for a couple of after market bits but there isn't a whole lot out there so probably i will get a Big ed pe set and a exhaust set from Eduard (strangely the exhausts aren't part of the big ed set)
There are a lot of remove before flight tags in that set but i don't like those

The only thing in this world that's small AND useful is Tyrion Lannister

Guys, no need to panic ahead of May 1st.

I've found a model shop that should have enough kits and aftermarket stuff to cover us.

I think with all your winnings as of late, we are going to have to tie an arm behind your back and make you model with your non dominant arm, wearing an eye patch and listening to that damn flute music they play on the live show
Ha ha all in jest, you have been on fire with some fantastic modelling and well deserved accolades
I will let you know about the help side, I may need some aid with the video reveal kind of stuff
Thanks my friend

Well welcome aboard, lovely to have you
Start is planned for May1 running to August 31....plenty of time to get a kit all organized
Apologize for my tardiness in response...8 hours behind you lot.

Indeed, this will be a build to follow closely
Was hoping a B1 got made, gonna be HUGE!!!
Funny Neil, let’s hope we don’t need any city building inspectors hate those guys
Mark is one of the main reasons to go to four months so he can get through this monster.
The quality of modellers, kits and guys signed up is just really awesome

A quick question about the kit I’ve chose, it’s the Do 215-b5 which is the night fighter version, but as far as I know, it still had the bombing facility still fitted and the bomb doors fitted
Don’t worry about the time difference, my daughter is in Sydney just now

Just checking out my memes chops. Not something I'm familiar with but looks like it could be handy in this thread.

This SIG is gaining so much momentum. Fabulous stuff.

Roll on May.

Note to self.

Must try harder on the memes thing.

If you ain’t got a meme, you don’t join the team!

I am somewhat tech challenged. Got until May to straighten up and fly right.

Don't you go Python Meme-rolling without me now!

I'm expecting you to be in full ceremonial regalia when you officially declare this SiG open!

AS long as it has bomb bay doors, I am fine with it
We slacked the heavy bomber designation so that we could include some of the lighter bombers like the Mosquito and such
I now have all 32 Captain names entered in my spreadsheet

The amount of interest and momentum this SIG has, it's hard to believe it missed out by 1 or 2 votes. I wouldn't be surprised if this group build was one of the bigger more popular ones this year, going by the amount of interest shown so far anyway.

Mid year will be busy for me, so time will be my enemy, but count me in, I'll build something

Thank you for the kind words of support
Well you have a few months to sort out a kit and then four months to build. May1st to Aug 31 is the plan
I welcome you to the Mad House of a sig, prepare to have fun, use lots of memes and enjoy the general silliness..oh and we will build a few models too

You know, by definition, these would qualify for the bomber build sig




Just sayin

[Spook]

It's a shame neither Fine Molds or Bandai have seen fit to bring out a model of the TIE Bomber too.



Although Lego appear to have done one...

Said one Imperial pilot to another.
“What do you think of the new TIE Bomber mate?”

“Early trials are not good, old chap. Damn thing couldn’t hit a cargo freighter on an asteroid!”

Stunning pic by the way Sir

To be fair though the crews were probably distracted by the giant sock puppet!

There is some stunning Star Wars art out there on the interweb.

Ah yes, the sock puppet, I believe he was an extra from 'Button Moon'

I bought the soft cover book, 'The Art of the Empire Strikes Back' years ago, the concept paintings by the late great Ralph McQuarrie were just amazing. Also, the matt paintings used in the film as backgrounds really made my jaw drop. Fascinating to read how they ended up using paintings for the backgrounds when shooting the AT-ATs because they were better than the actual plates shot on location In Norway.

More recently my wallet got away from me and I got hold of the enormous hard backed 'Making of' books for Empire and Jedi. Incredible how the movies evolved before they became what we actually saw on film. I've barely scratched the surface of either of them but they're amazing books.

I can imagine. I had my eye on the Super Star Destroyer for a while but I baulked at the cost and on having nowhere to put it.
