British Army Group Build 2020

So sorry I missed this one Bish…my apologies to you and the Queen!

I would love to be added to the list. Not sure what kit yet (still moving in to the new place and all), but it will be something WWII. Armour or a glider maybe.

Hello Bish,

I have not been present lately due to work and remodeling the homestead. I am definitely in for this one. Below is my entry. It will be the tail end of January before I get started.

Good to see you back Jeff, was woundering where you had got to. Will get it on the list.

Thank you sir…I am looking forward to this.

I would like to submit a 1/72 Challenger 2, the Iraq 2003 iteration of Dragon’s line of Challengers.

Glad to have you on board Robert.

Bish, I dug the Comet out of the stash and popped the box open last night. And whoops, I forgot that I’d gotten a good bit done with the kit. Not sure why I didn’t finish it but the kit’s about 1/3rd built.

I did find a set of PE parts I didn’t remember ordering for the kit. Some has been added. I probably got irritated by all the PE and shelfed it.

If that’s too much work done I’ll find something else. I do have plenty of British military subjects [:(]

No, that sounds ok G, if you can, post a couple of pics of how it looks now. And you will have time to do another [:D]

Just sitting here chomping at the bit, waiting for the new year to start:

Well, wait no longer. Its now midnight, my time, so firstly, happy new year to all. And second, i am going to kick this off with some poetry.

I’ll get cracking on the Sioux. I was curious about the Atkins reference in the Kipling poem. A quick google answered my question and more. Now I know where tommy came from!

BackgroundEdit

The Tommy of the poem is Tommy Atkins, a generic slang name for a common British soldier. A term of uncertain origin, the name “Thomas Atkins” was used in nineteenth century War Office manuals as a placeholder name to demonstrate how forms should be filled out.[4][5] In popular use, “Thomas” became the more familiar “Tommy”.

Happy New Year Bish! I’ve got a British Saladin somewhere waiting to be built.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Bish, I would like to join in on the fun. I would like to build the Revell 1/72 scale De Havilland D.H. 2.

Welcome aboard Ziggy, got you on the roster.

Happy New Year guys!!!

After looking at the kit I didn’t do THAT much. It’s up to you Bish if it’s kosher or not:

That look fine to me G, go for it.

Thanks Bish! Will do!!!

BTW: I did order this from HLJ, I’m just waiting for them to get it in stock. Who knows, I might add it as a second build. But first considering my lack of getting GBs done I want to concentrate on the Comet.

Now that would be a nice addition. I do like AM kits and would make a change to see a British one.

Bish, I’m making a go at the Saladin. Parts are washed and I’m ready to cut sprue.

Looking forward to seeing that Chad.

I made a start on the Snatch yesterday and have just wrapped up the chassis. Will get some pics at the weekend.
