Sounds interesting… I’ve never participated in a group build before, is there an FAQ or something like that to explain more about what a “group build” is all about?
I am IN! Ooh, finally a dedicated capital ship GB! I am all worn out with CVs, I need a good excuse to build something pretty. I have to find something to build, there has to be something…
I would like to join as I to have never been in a GB, but I’m not sure if the ship I’m working on would be less than 50% or not . I don’t think it’s that far a long,as I still have a tremendous amount of work left to do, but I’ve already done a bunch. So I geuss I’m in unless if fellow members think I have to much completed to join.[:)]
Oh, my bad that’s what I get for not reading the rules.[banghead] I geuss that I officially put my application in to the moderator and the fellow members if need be to be entered into this battleship/cruiser GB. I f my application is rejected I understand and wish you all well with your builds. Even if I’m excepted I still wish you all luck and let the model GOD’s steady your hands, and let your glue apply properly.[:D]
Just to reiterate because I’m not sure I was clear- it’s all between you and CorvetteMike. He is the boss…
I’m not sure what reading the rules means, there’s always a little confusion about that from new GBers, and I’m no vet, but he can tell you what you need to know, and you can always PM if you want.
okay, I figured that this was his group build and that he would keep an eye on this thread, and that would also let other members give their approval or disapproval of my entering the build because of the work I have done. So I’ll PM him and ask directly.
Oh I really want to be in this one, but already waaaaay behind on subscribed GBs
I know this is a selfish request, but could we extend the end date a bit more? Ships take a tad longer to build, usually and the later date will allow people to join in in a few months (summer)?
If I join, I have in the stash to think about:
WW1 - Airfix HMS Hood 1:700
WW2 - Tamiya Prinz Eugen 1:700 on the German side, Dragon USS Arizona 1:700 on the allied side, Fujimi IJN Chikuma Heavy Cruiser on the japan side.
Modern - Dragon USS San Diego 1:700 (cruiser) on NATO side, Dragon Admiral Ushakov 1:700 on the Warsaw side
Count me in. I have a 1/700 Cleveland Class (Probably CL-81 Houston in Ms 32/1d). It will be in a dio with the 1/700 Independence Class CVL (CVL-26 Monterey).
Hello all, I received permission to be in this GB, Thanks Mike. I geuss ( since I’m not sure ) I’ll be the first to post progress since I’ve already started. These are a few shots of what I’ve done last night and today.
more progress to come soon, and I can’t wait to see what all of you have been doing.
Ok, to start I’ll possibly be doing USS Pittsburgh as she appeared after losing her bow in early 1945 or a modernized USS Canberra 1968. Quick question does a kit count as unstarted if it has been built and then dismantled and will now be rebuilt as another ship or even another class?
Jmart; I’m using 2 bismarck kits in 1/350 scale, I’m also using the main turrets from a 1/426 Arizona for my second battery ( the top pic ) I had to cut them down to fit in the side turret well. I extended the hull by 5"s and widened it by 1 3/4". I also took the tail end off the titanic and added that on , because I didn’t care for the narrow end of the bismarck
Aj, that sounds like a very nice idea for the Pittsburgh. It would make for a interesting build.
