Bomber SIG 2018 sign up here!!!!!!!

Yes indeed, yes indeed
Now you are quoting one of my favourite movies
Portland is not exactly Mexico

Top 10, maybe even top 5 for me. The twist at the end? Even though I’ve seen it so many times it still makes me want to cheer.

“I mean, how often do you look at a man’s shoes?”
Great line

[chops1sc]

Ever since I saw that movie the first time, I always look at a man's shoes.

Its not just the escape that is so amazing, its what he leaves for Red in the field and how he planned it all so his friend could join him. How he tells him to go to the field with the tree and search under the rock for something he hasn't even put there yet. Just stunning.

It's all superbly done and up there in my top 10 as well.

The original short story by Stephen King is worth a read as well if you can get your hands on a copy and is actually called "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption".

So, to paraphrase the pre-requisites of this SIG;

1. Your chosen bird needs to have bomb bay doors
2. The kit needs to be un-started
3. You need to have a dog and post a picture of it
4. You need to love “The Shawshank Redemption”

This is going to be the best SIG EVER!!!

p.s 3 & 4 are fake pre-requisites

Bang on Sir! Just need to cancel my order with rent a mutt now

The only other thing is the aircraft needs to be modelled in its bomber role. For example, a Mosquito shown in its bomber or fighter bomber role is fine but the PR and NF variant will possibly earn you a one way ticket to Scott’s woodshed!

Cannot wait for May 1st

Better!

Film buffs and bomber builders. We are renaissance men!

[Cymru]

I propose an amendment to rule #3. It should read "You need to have a dog or CAT and post a picture of it"

[DBMiller]

To paraphrase a line from Flight of The Intruder - "Fighter builders make movies - bomber builders make history!"

Awesome quote!

[smokeriderdon]

The resin parts for my B1 are here. The instructions show more sprue surgery than I have ever attempted. This will be interesting...

bfrd, they do indeed require a good bit of work. Didnt pay attention to if you are doing the 1/72 or 1/48. I am doing the 48 and using those upgrades as well. You have to remove a good bit of the end of the nacelle to get the intakes to work. It requires some artful puttying and sanding.

The exhausts require a bit of work as well. The interior of the nacelle needs to be thinned to the extreme for the cans to fit. And even then they are likely to be a hair too large. But workable. And they look GREAT when you are done.

I LOVE that movie!

[DrSprue]

Ive got 2 cats (no dogs tho, but grew up with them, so I agree with Cymrus amendment) and love good movies.

We need good cat/dog and movie memes here... Stokesy, Where are you!

[DBMiller]

Hey DrSprue, didn't I hear your name come up as a monthly prize winner (December's I think) on today's update from Lee? Congrats!

[DrSprue]

Oh thank you DB. Yea, I really need those sanders too. They're the new ones and seems like they are gonna be awesome for very fine sanding. I got some so-so squadrons, and just a couple (medium and fine), so I am really looking forward to the cool Ultimate buffer types.

I’m taking a Meme break my friend. Trying to get some actual modelling done instead

Rest assured I’ll be back, the subject matter is too rich to be ignored for long

Allow me to step in and kick off the cat memes while you're otherwise engaged, sir.

Having two feline friends in the household I can attest to their poise, nobility and dignity...

[Twokidsnosleep]

I am over there in my Camel thread trying to post a completely serious ‘how to’ on rigging the wings of a WWI aircraft and you jokers are farting around being naughty memers . Like a pack of hyenas I tells ya



Note I said completely serious......

[smokeriderdon]

I dont have a cat because I have models. On shelves. And I would have to turn the cat into Kung Pao chicken the first time it got up there and knocked something off. I would love to have a Savannah, Chausie or Main Coon, but until I have a lot more display cases to house everything...

[smokeriderdon]

[DBMiller]

May as well join the fun since the build is so far away.

[rodrant]

Switching to Camel memes, leader!

And a bit of love for the canine fans - Reaction to Scott claiming he's going to do an OOB build for the SIG

[bfrd]

Here are my two fur factories. Dumb and Dumber. I mean Charlie (black nose) and Maggie (pink nose). They are two of the sweetest dogs I have ever met. Calling them "dumb as a box of rocks" would be an insult to rocks everywhere.

Maggie was supposed to only be a temporary housing, but they are now inseparable.

Ha ha ha guys you woke me up laughing Sunday morning
I like cats as well as dogs so no probs there
The Camel was a smidge of a hilarious surprise
‘‘‘Tis a silly lot“

But, stopped in my tracks by those dogs. Oh Matthew, just love those Goldens. Both are lovely.
My Bernese Mountain Dog is best buds with a golden and those three would be happy morons together.
There is nothing like having bathroom support with a loving dog sitting between your legs while on the toilet..every time.

Ok carry on meming you louts, I have to get up and take this puppy dog out into the fresh snow we got overnight
She will be nuts

[Tomcat64]

Aye Aye, Captain! Hope you get some shots of the mad pup in the snow!

It's possible someone jump-started the build...

[DrSprue]

OK, these memes and you guys that show your animals are so cool.

Here is another cat that also likes tea! (my 1st one drank it all!)

[DBMiller]

What I do while waiting for the build to start.

House in snow

What’s all that white stuff?

It was a balmy 67F at the Griffith Observatory today; not a flake in sight!





And since we are sharing pets... The vet tells us she’s a dog, but most cats are bigger than her and she acts more like one.

And yes, I found her all tucked in like that when I went to get into bed a few months back.

[smokeriderdon]

That last dog needs a Bandolier something fierce!!!!

Twokids, hence his name! LOL

[Twokidsnosleep]

Nice Bob, would love your weather...though we are getting warmer and you guys are getting drier
Your pup looks pretty comfy there

[Twokidsnosleep]

Twokids, hence his name! LOL

He looks like one of those older grumpy Wookiee that Yoda visited when the Stormtoopers went rogue
