Global Scale Modeller

Post all your GB related chat and banter in this section

So this is what I've got for the Cold War GB.



Be nice to do some jets, haven't done one in a while. Think I'll start with the Migs first.

Enjoy the GB guys!

Nice chief

Cheers, can't wait to get started. Gotta go and work tomorrow though, bummer!

They all look nice mate what scale is the Canberra and whats the kit like

Gutted, im out first thing myself, should be back by lunch time though

@Nige it's the 1/72 Canberra, not sure what its like yet, haven't looked. Although I'm expecting something to be missing as when I got home I noticed the box had been opened already!

@Paul I should be done by 4 and the mrs is off out so I'll have all night to get started! Woo hoo!

Got the shopping to do then ill have the rest of the weekend well as soon as ive done helping the kids with there builds might even stop up to gone midnight so i can start ive not looked forward to a build this much for ages things keep going round in my head that ive got planned.

I'll be busy most of the weekend as usual. The only time I get to model is the early morning or late at night.
Sometimes I'll get an hour during the day if the kids are good haha.
Having an entire afternoon to work would blow my mind.
I'll probably open the box and go through all the parts in detail then hunt around for some reference materials this weekend.

You have far too much time chief, it's not fair.....lol

I've decided on some thing a little different for this GB. Will get some pics up a little later

You're such a tease Lee!!

After all my enthusiasm I now doubt I'll be able to start for a bit.

Life tends to bowl you a Shane Warne delivery just when you think things are going well.

Grrrrr.

Hope everything is ok mate.

Nothing that can't be sorted.

As it happens it shouldn't impact as much as I thought, I'll just have to do more in the house for a bit rather than in the 'hut of geek' so the kids are not on their own.

My misses has started giving me earache about the time I spend on my modelling,(if you are not modelling your on the flamin I-pad). I wouldn't,t mind but I got back into modelling just to stop her moaning about all the time I was spending on model railway,s LOL no pleasing some people .

You could always start watching football and drinking beer with the fellas every weekend, or hanging out at the pub all the time.

What and have less time and money to spend on my modelling .

haha... no silly.
I meant that she's lucky that you're home and not doing those other things.

I will have to start doing the other thing,s if she carry,s on moaning .

Hmmm so when does this build start i can see now its the 14th now, but Lee has been saying on his videos the 21st make your mind up!!!

Not sure weather i will bother entering as you need to be a historian to have any chance of winning!!!!

Seriously dan, give it a rest mate. Both myself and lee have told you why the winners won, all round effect, not just the build, or ability or finished article but the effort put in.

GB participation is voluntary.

Your choice

I deleted them in case you're wondering. Take it to PM please guys.....

Ffs don't say that, I've heard enough about this.

Wth has happened here?

hi everyone. just wondered is it to late to join the GB? i have always wanted to build a B-52and thought this would be a great excuse to buy one thanks guys

Certainly not too late buddy - you can enter a build the day of the deadline if you could build it fast enough

well to build and paint a B-52 in a day i will shake your hand and take you out for a drink haha.... next question is how do you enter it ?

As long as the kit is in unstarted condition simply create a new topic/ thread in the Cold War Group Builds section posting box and sprue pictures in your first post - more info available in the guidelines subsection

Best of luck with the build.

Make a new topic here http://intscalemodeller.com/viewforum.php?f=133
It's a good idea to name it something specific and identifiable. Like ... Tamiya 1/32 P51 Mustang Spam Attack... for example.
Then you can start with either a series of photos showing the box, and all it's contents (to show that the kit is unbuilt), or you can do a youtube vid of the same thing.
ISM is youtube friendly.
Then you start building your kit, taking pictures or video of it along the way, sorta documenting it. All the tricks you've used, special tools you like, any problems you had (yes problems are part of is too haha warts and all as my mom says)
At the end you take a bunch of pictures or a video or both to do a Final Reveal and post those here.... http://intscalemodeller.com/viewforum.php?f=134

At the end of the GB Paul and Lee will pick the build that best represents the journey of modelling as well as it's subject. It's not just the best piece, but the best log.
Then they'll put together a youtube show and announce the winners.
It's a hell of a lot of fun.

That is why Coen is a moderator - far better job than me there Coen, I tip my hat to you fine sir

Hey no worries - your explanation was far better anyway

Would the Aero L-39 Albatros be eligible for the group build?:

Don't see why not, the instruction sheet says it was produce from the 70's and used by most Warsaw Pact countries.

so as i loved my little saber build i thought id take it up a notch and just ordered another 2 kits for this GB and theses are BIG kits.
1st off i dont know why no one has thought off doing this... a 1/72 Concorde
and like i said i would do i ordered a 1/72 boeing B-52 Stratofortress

hopefully these big boys will be here by the end off the week and hope i have time to get them both done in time

You could always hold on to the Concorde as there maybe a civilian aircraft SiG or GB in the not too distant future- I'm just saying 'cos you never know

Would not surprise me one bit considering I just opened my 2 year old Revell Boeing 747 kit

Well, can always open another kit too

You mean ... like candid photography of ... goers ?

Canding photography of the goers in the whirly curly birdie... that sounds... awkward...

Well congrats to everyone who finished.

Great work guys.

Well done people
