I'd love to join you Norm and Storm with this build. Are you ok with those of us not doing YouTube videos to get involved via this forum?

Post by **schweinhund227** » Sun Oct 06, 2013 2:08 am

Not at all. Post here. It's all good

Post by **schweinhund227** » Sun Oct 06, 2013 2:14 am

I didn't have anything suitable in the stash, so after a bit of web searching I've settled on a Canadian built Valentine. This will be built as a training tank at Camp Borden, Ontario, 1942

Wow!

Awesome!

Post by **Coen** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 10:18 am

That's a fantastic choice Pete.
I think that I even know the kit that you're talking about... nice as well.
I was planning on picking it up myself, so I'll enjoy watching it go together.
I love the valentine.

If it's the Miniart one, then yep we are talking about the same kit.

I have family in Canada and my uncle, now a Canadian, but from Liverpool originally, served in the Merchant Navy during the War. He's on a veteran's video taking about his service, I'll have to see if I can locate the link to that. It would be nice to do a suitable ship kit in recognition of their part in WWII, but I think I'd be better playing safe with armour for now.

Post by **Coen** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 10:34 am

That's the kit. I've used a miniart valentine for one of my Desert Rats dioramas, their good kits.
I haven't built the Canadian one yet.

I'd love to see that vid of your Uncle Pete. If you found it, it would be a great way to start off your build thread.

Post by **MikeyKb** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 11:42 pm

As a Canadian I feel obliged to participate... that's the only reason I'm doing it...

My LHS doesn't have any Canadian models I want to do... time to go to ebay, unless anyone knows a Canadian company or one that doesn't charge an arm and a leg for delivery

...and the hunt continues!

Post by **schweinhund227** » Thu Oct 10, 2013 12:54 am

Try hobbystuffDepot.com
In Alberta

You migth get lucky?

Or try lucky model hong kong

Thank you for joining our GB

Lots of time to get your kit!

Post by **MikeyKb** » Thu Oct 10, 2013 2:24 pm

Hey Storm,

Would you mind posting that list from your 2nd video on the forum here... you'd really be helping a guy out

Something tells me I'm going to make this difficult for myself and source decals separate from the model...

Thanks!

Post by **schweinhund227** » Thu Oct 10, 2013 7:52 pm

although Storm is a member here
He doesn't Post !

You might have to listen carefully and pause his video a lot !
then scribble down what ever he mentioned in the Video !

Look for him on YT and send him a PM !

You take care !

Just stopped by my LHS and had a good chat with the awesome people who work there (Maritime Hobby). I found a decal sheet online for a Canadian T-33...and immediately bought it... then ordered the 1/48 Academy T-33, they said I should have it in a about a week. Apparently this Academy T-33A kit, is the only one that is still made that is Canadian compatible

This version of CT-133 was painted to represent VU-32’s “Mako Shark” paint scheme worn by one of the Squadron’s CT-133s in 1992

Will this be acceptable?

If so, this is gonna be awesome!!

Post by **schweinhund227** » Thu Oct 10, 2013 10:25 pm

Of course
No prob

Awesome choice

Post by **Coen** » Fri Oct 11, 2013 1:33 am

Damn straight... NICE!!!

Post by **ScaleArmorBuilder** » Mon Oct 14, 2013 6:57 pm

I may try to join this build if I can source a model and get my new workplace setup in time.
Looking at a LAV III.

Yeah after watching all your videos the bug has bitten me again.

Post by **Coen** » Mon Oct 14, 2013 7:24 pm

oops... sorry about that.
I feel shame.... bad Coen ... bad

Post by **ScaleArmorBuilder** » Mon Oct 14, 2013 7:30 pm

Trust me its a good thing. Ive needed something to help relax for a while now. Excited to unpack all my things.

Post by **Coen** » Mon Oct 14, 2013 7:37 pm

Oh good.
Wait... are you saying that my vids helped inspire you to get back into the hobby?

Don't... you provide hours of both entertainment ant wit while I'm tucked away in my modelling dungeon

Very much so. Its been about a year since Ive done any modeling.
Ive watched probably 10 hours of your videos this past week.

Post by **Coen** » Mon Oct 14, 2013 11:29 pm

Dudes... You have no idea how much that makes my day.
I'm still surprised that anyone watches any of them.
To know that someone got back into the hobby because of one, or stays in the hobby because of one... well that's why I make them.
It's all about the giving back to the hobby for me... you guys just justified it.

So thank you.

Seriously, your vids are actually inspiration for me to keep going and one of the reasons I joined ISM in the first place, both yours and Hamilkar Barkas' vids are what really got me re-passioned in this amazing hobby of ours and how I heard about ISM - please, keep up the incredible work, both vids and talented modelling skills!
Cheers Coen!!

Post by **DesertAAModeller** » Tue Oct 15, 2013 1:54 am

So, if we want to join in, where would we post on the forum?

Canada is very close to where I live so I would really like to do this.

I'd like to either do Trumpeter's 1/350 HMS Eskimo converted to HMCS Huron or Haida

or

I'd just build Trumpeter's 1/700 HMCS Huron.

Post by **schweinhund227** » Tue Oct 15, 2013 2:16 am

Some will post here! As many here don't produce
You-Tube video as of yet! And it's not a prerequisite !

I guess we will have to ask the ISM Admins to Create a HOHGB Tread!
While it is running and until we are done!

you take care

Post by **schweinhund227** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 3:47 pm

I usually don't like to BUMP my own treads... but only 4 weeks left... for those wishing to
join this Honorable GB

Pick something Canuck in origin ! WWI to Present !
Something you would like added to your Collection of course

No pressure !

Starts on Nov 11th

Navy, Air or Army related in peace or in wars !

All the best to you !

Looking forward to watching all your builds on this one.

Too much on my plate to join another group build but will looking for inspiration.

Post by **ScaleArmorBuilder** » Fri Oct 18, 2013 11:51 pm

Picked this up today at the LHS. Don't know much about it but something without tracks will be a welcome change.

Post by **schweinhund227** » Sat Oct 19, 2013 1:39 am

Nice cougar

Was a Armour tactics training vehicle that later
Was a light Armour support vehicle

Now sold to Africa

That's what you get for not putting a lot of cash on your army
Back in the 70's

Post by **ScaleArmorBuilder** » Sat Oct 19, 2013 1:58 am

Not sure if Ill do a UN white paint job or a NATO green one...

Edit: Looks like the version I have didn't get the UN White paint. So NATO green it is.

Post by **greghatt** » Sun Oct 20, 2013 8:34 pm

hey guys! Mikey told me about this group build and I would love to join. I too have an Academy T-33 kit. Bought the extras also. True details cockpit, wheels and the scale accessories LG. I'm going to do the late version 434 bluenose sqn markings from leading edge. I have everything ready to go, it'll be the next build after my tamiya corsair.

Cheers!

Shouldn't be long now mike, I wasn't really in the shop much this week so i don't know the status. I'll check tomorrow for ya. When we're done our builds we should display them together at the shop!

Post by **MikeyKb** » Sun Oct 20, 2013 10:31 pm

totally down! that's a great idea!
don't worry if it'll take a little while... I got a few things on the go, the build doesn't start until November and I've spent a little too much at the shop already for this paycheque

Post by **greghatt** » Sun Oct 20, 2013 11:09 pm

haha you and me both buddy. cheers!

Post by **Radzy** » Mon Oct 21, 2013 10:59 am

Hi guys,
Would it be fine if I join the SiG to honour our Canadian allies with Digby Mk.I Bolo in Canadian service ?
Regards,
Radek

Post by **schweinhund227** » Mon Oct 21, 2013 11:34 am

Neat subject! Of course you can!

They sunk one submarine During WWII. Most excellent!

Post by **Radzy** » Mon Oct 21, 2013 11:52 am

So if it is only available in nearest shop I will be honoured to join!

Post by **JDMMODELS** » Tue Oct 29, 2013 2:09 am

I finally have my HOHCGB entry on its way. I bartered to get it so thats cool. I will be building a CF-101 Voodoo. There is one near me for the time being as it is being disassembled to be moved to a museum in Ontario. It was the last Voodoo to ever fly Reg#101006. I have some photos of the exterior but am hoping to make a trip to see it before its gone and hopefully get some photos of the cockpit. This will be a great GB and I thank you for the privilege of entering.

Heres a link if interested http://savevoodoo006.com/the-aircraft/

Post by **MikeyKb** » Thu Oct 31, 2013 6:50 pm

Looks like the Academy T-33A is no longer in production... good to know after waiting for 2 weeks... not my LHS fault, the T-33's just didn't show up...

In any case, just ordered one from fleabay, hopefully it comes in before the 11th... but if not, at least I have my decals

Post by **Coen** » Fri Nov 01, 2013 12:20 am

that sucks... Here's hopin.

Post by **schweinhund227** » Fri Nov 01, 2013 12:24 am

Sorry to hear about your difficulties at obtaining your model!

You are not the only one!

Storm and Myself had to resort to trading some kits in order to get something in time for the GB!
As both of our kits were not showing up!

But we will be there on Nov. 11th.
