Hey Johno welcome to mad-house

I'm sure Scott will be along a little later to assign you a Captain's number for the SIG.

Have a look through the build threads already under way in here to get some idea of how people set them up and then go ahead and post up a thread when you're ready to take the plunge.

We'll need to figure out how to post your images from imgur though which isn't something I use myself, but from looking at someone else's threads there looks like a way of selecting the code for a single image rather than the full gallery

Here's an example I stole from aur0ra145 as I know he uses imgur - hope this helps

Code: Select all

I do it via individual picture. Right click, copy image location and post. Then wrap in IMG tags. Or you can do the imgur drop down for bbc code and copy paste per photo. Gallery links won't work here.

Ok welcome and thanks for joining
Introducing Captain #53 Johno

If you need any help, just let us know. You are welcome to private message me if you want
Have a peek at the threads and see the pattern how they start....Box photo, sprue shots and aircraft information.
Then you just post away your progress. Most are using a third party host to link photos called Flickr, though there are others
There will be a door prize draw very soon for participants who have started a thread.
Scott

Sweet thanks a lot guys im pretty excited about this ill figure out the image thing and get some pics up soon

Silly question removed.
Move along people!

...was that nice???

Ok we can all just forget I asked that question as the memes gave me the answer haha.

Ya sorry bud
Try a Mosquito..nice small build, Tamiya has a good one in 1/72 scale...or larger
There are over three months left in the sig, easy to bang away at a mossi while you tinker with your Harriers

Evening.

I'm interested in joining this SIG. This will be my first time doing this so please forgive me if I do something wrong. I'll be working on the Revell 1\48 B-17F Memphis Belle. This will be straight out of the box with no thrills.

Thanks

James

I haven't got a Mozzie so I'll settle for this instead:

Does it have documented bomb bay doors??

Thanks Fridgy
Looks like external hard points only and no internal bomb bays from my research, so nope
Prove me wrong Mav

Both this kit and a Harrier would be perfect for the Cold War Sig. why not join in there?

There is a good idea, keeps your juices flowing and in an appropriate sig
No worries if you back out if the bombers, have not signed up in blood and are always welcome

Just a question from me about any future entries i could possibly make
The B-2 would qualify (yes i plan on getting the Revell 1:144 kit)
But how about the F-117 Nighthawk ,it has 2 bomb bays but the F would make it a fighter how ever it was used for bombing

Bomb bay doors....yes
Lacks any bomb bay doors...no

If the version you have has a bomb bay with doors and is a fighter I say Fine.....ie the mosquitos
If it is purely a fighter bomber with eternal bombs only, then no

I guess it is all good then
After digging a bit i found the F-117 is technically a attack plane by US standards but has bomb bays (and doors) for the Stealth capabilities and no external hard points at all
Weird thing is that in Dutch they call it a light bomber
So that will be a trip to the LHS then somewhere during the week

I had a vacation the past 2 weeks
A combination of a accident (not me but the girlfriend) and not much planned in the first place gave me a whole lot of time for building

She is doing okay
She broke her leg but she didn't want to take trips after that as walking around with a cast isn't all that much fun
So those plans are now moved to the summer

Ok no worries, good luck everyone!
Maverick out..........

That is pretty awesome. Well done mate!

I didn't build all 40, nothing to do with me
I just sat here and mashed buttons and posted memes
It is all the awesome ISM Forum modellers who are doing all the work
So cheers to the 40 !!!

Reporting back in! laptop buggered itself up with an update! All is well now, fingers crossed. everything backed up again on nice new external drive. Also Mobile phone decided to be a very, very stupid person as well, newer one now being trained up now.
Wellington was under wraps till these things were sorted.
that is all.
