So, what are you going to build then?

Post by **Lee** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 5:49 pm

As the title really.

What's your entry going to be?

Post by **Lysion** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 6:02 pm

I have ordered Hobby Boss 1/72 Mil-Mi24V Hind. http://www.hobbyboss.com/a/en/product/f ... 6/488.html

I hope it arrives this week

This is my entry there is a in box review in the kit review section

Post by **UKscalemodeller** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 6:32 pm

Looking at getting the revell 1/144 apache.

Post by **ridgers22** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 6:33 pm

i have an idea but keeping it hush hush
its something totally different though

Post by **HobbyModeller** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 7:32 pm

If I can enter (really really busy at the moment) I shall probably build a Westland Commando (British Army version of the Sea King) but as the only version in 1/72 is a super expensive Dragon one I shall probably convert from the Revell Sea King

This is all of course if I can get round to it which hopefully I will

Post by **5Craven** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 7:42 pm

Here is what I will be doing, along with all the extras. I think I may have gone a bit mad here

Post by **Tonygol** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 7:49 pm

I was going to buy this.

I have these in the stash, so I might as well do one of these and save the cash for something else.

Will I be allowed to do the CH-46E as it didn't come its original box.

Post by **Radzy** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 8:18 pm

I will start with this one Mil Mi-2URP and then ... we'll see

still hunting for some Chinooks, Chickasaws or Mi-8'ts

Post by **Lee** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 8:28 pm

WOW - Some nice birds there lads

Post by **Schoof** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 8:33 pm

Uhm. ...... nothing

......

As much as I would like to enter I'm not yet confident enough to build a helicopter. Still being in the progress of developing my skills and having a fixed wing gathering dust halve finished it would be beter for me to wait.

Maybe next time

Post by **Paul** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 9:02 pm

Some great entries there fellas

So mine is Zvezda's 1/72 Hind, its supposed to be a good kit

Great looking pilots

Post by **spruecutter** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 9:05 pm

I'll be getting this one:-

and inspired by the SIG theme, I've got a HobbyBoss 1/72 Hind to do in a birdy scheme as shown on the voting thread. That one will be a long term paint job, that will probably take as long as Lee's Dora!

Post by **Lysion** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 9:30 pm

So Paul, we are both building a Hind.

Will be interesting to see how your turns out!

Maybe I should change subject, Will be hard to build & paint as good as you do. i am still just a beginner...

I really want to do a Chinook so will be joining this one a bit later on when I can afford the kit.

Will give me a chance to tie up my other builds.

Post by **Daishi12** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 9:41 pm

Think I'll do this one -

Don't worry about that mate, it's all about taking part, not to compare our skills.

Plus, there could be three Hinds if I include mine, but seeing as you have the HobbyBoss kit too, I'll not add mine to the SIG as I've got the Hokum to do.

As Pete says don't be worrying about that, besides I'm not 100% sure if I'll have time to enter this so I'll play it by ear for now

Post by **Coen** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 11:24 pm

Here's my submission to the build.
Most of you have already seen this, but now it's official.

And here's my review of the box contents.

Enjoy the builds guys... this will be so cool!!!

I have put this one on my wishlist for christmas as every review I have read for it is that is is stunning. Interestingly it appears to be the same kit as the revell one (or the other way around) just different decals

Post by **greg74** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 12:07 am

I do not have much of a choice in this topic - what is in the picture "Osage" or Mi2 with photoetched parts (no manual) and mi24 after swimming in the soda

- maybe you will tell me,
or I may have to go to the store?

Post by **ThomasBrown** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 3:12 am

Apache Longbow.jpg

Well this could end in disaster but I'm jumping in this one. Hopefully I can produce something in TWELVE weeks.

This is the one chopper in my meager stash.

Post by **MikeyKb** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 3:29 am

If you really wanna know....

Just picked up the cobra from my LHS this afternoon over lunch, as well as some modelling clay... looks like I might be scratch-building a poop-load of 1:48 sandbags for this dio. Might want to pick up one more Huey Hog to complete the US Helipad/Nam base I have in mind.... SO many more options in 1:35, but for now, this will do

I'll do a better kit review on Friday... can't wait!!!

Greg, I would say - do them all

. At least I would do. You know this tactics proved to be always correct for me... at least in the kitchen ...

Post by **coladito1** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 9:42 am

Sooooo tempting!! I might just join in! But what to build?? Mmm??

Post by **alextheblue** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 9:50 am

After much shall I, shan't I, I thought, what the hell, what's life without a challenge and thought I'd give this a go.

I originally bought it with half a mind to enter the Cold War GB, but technically the decals that come with it make it just too late and then along came this one - it must be an omen!

Never done anything other than AFV and it's waaaaaaaaaay beyond my skills, but ya 'aint going to learn to swim if you don't jump in the pool!!!!

So if I understood correctly, Coen, you're about to make a dio with pinky S58 + boat + boobies ? Gotta go to resupply my popcorn stockpiles then

Post by **Coen** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 10:07 am

HAHAH! No I was suggesting that Luis do it haha.

Coen wrote:HAHAH! No I was suggesting that Luis do it haha.

So no excuses to Luis then. Whatever he's up to build it must include boobies now

Do you agree?

Cheers,
Radek

Gotta find the proper kit first and maybe Lenny will let me borrow his fallen angel with big boobies for the dio. Lol

Hmm if I can get some cash together for a new model (gf is starting to notice that my stash has increased already....although as I explained to her that is actually mostly from donations or prizes lol).

But if can, then this is what I will most likely get and build

I have already built this kit before but it was one of the first models (in fact, the first) I did on my return to the hobby and so I would like to do it again and do a better job on it. I might also do it as a Dutch heli, or do it as British Army Air Corps again, not sure yet.

Post by **Johni044** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 2:47 pm

Got a few eggbeaters in the stash:

2 x 1:32 Revell Lynx
1 x 1:48 Academy Apache Longbow
2 x 1:72 Airfix Lynx
1 x 1:48 Airfix Merlin
1 x 1:72 Airfix Gazelle
2 x 1:72 Airfix Westland Sea King
1 x 1:48 Revell Westland Wessex

But got a real hankering for the old 1:32 Matchbox (Revell) Puma.

Post by **Coen** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 5:59 pm

So.... You're set then.

Haha

Post by **Tamiyasnob** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 6:35 pm

Will do some sprue shot,s soon.

Great entry and with Falklands decals

Post by **Tamiyasnob** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 6:55 pm

Yeh, but the Falkland scheme is all over grey, I was thinking maybe one of these

Still not sure yet

Yeah I like the blue yellow one, different from what you usually see, good choice either way though

Post by **Wayne** » Thu Oct 10, 2013 12:52 am

Well this is going to be so awesome. Joining my first SIG.

Not to sure what to build yet (thats because you dont know what your doing) (Shut up you don't go telling them that. We will tell them I am still thinking on they will have no idea I don't know what i want to build.)

So yeah got 2 or 3 idea's of what I want to build

https://www.youtube.com/user/bnealuk · Post by **T3hGuppy** » Thu Oct 10, 2013 7:56 am

Well i was going through my stash looking for something else and found this.
And as I'm a little short on cash atm this will be my entry.

Post by **Paul** » Thu Oct 10, 2013 9:53 am

That looks interesting guppy, always good to have something suitable in the stash too, not always the most fun way, but shows the stash is working lol

Post by **Wayne** » Fri Oct 11, 2013 5:22 pm

So i have now worked out what i am going to build Revell 1/72 Sikorsky Black Hawk but i am not going to do with it what you might be thinking.

I am going to need to do a little bit of work to it maybe. Also make my own decals. So it should be fun if nothing else.

Post by **Coen** » Fri Oct 11, 2013 7:12 pm

Cool.. A surprise!!! I like surprises!!!
