Thanks for all the resources, guys. I’ll keep an eye out for the launch!

This must be acknowledged. Most eggcellent indeed! CRACKS me up.

You do realise that this GB will be just full of egg based puns don’t you.
If i had started one, i was planning on calling it Egg and Toons GB. Yours if you wnat it.
“Scrambled Eggs GB”?
”Styrene Eggs and Spam GB”?
“I would not, could not with a Hasegawa.
I would not, could not with a Meng.
I would not, could not… oh what the heck, let’s do it!”
Egg-based puns? You cannot ovoid it!
Taking cholesterol meds - now!
Just thinking out loud, what about an ‘art car’?
If the GB title has “Why so serious?” in it, it must have the Joker… if you are serious about it. [:O]

These are what a socially well adjusted modelers look like after being shown an egg plane:

So glad I got those 12" Hot Toys figures! [:P]

now you are just egging people on.
built SHERMAN, TIGER 1, KV-2, T-34, TIGER 2 PZ-IIIN and PZ-38 at wash and weather stage. the fit is very tight as in priming and painting before assemby just means scrapping off the paint. oh and block the axles and holes in the hull before painting.
I thought the point was NOT to be serious. So instead of The Joker why not Gary Coleman from Different Strokes with that “What you talking about, Willis?” look. The “Why so serious” title would be a better fit for including all forms of caricature subjects.
Have to admit this is starting to grow on me. like the look of the Moebius Battlestar Galactica Viper Mk 2 and the ship models.
If it’s silly or crazy looking sure!!!
Those look awesome Wayne!
I’m working on the Sherman, hope it comes out as well as yours!
Hmmm, as Wayne said the ‘Toon’ tanks are sorta egg shaped so we could go with the egg motif here for them as well.
I’m thinking maybe Humpty-Dumpty as a badge???
Or maybe the ‘Shirley, you can’t be serious group build’???
The new Squadron flyer has the new Meng Panther, but low and behold not listed by either stock# Meng on the website. Lol. I’ll give it a week or so and try again. Fluorescent pink for paint
Oh, man, that’s got my vote for sure!
Hi,
I’d be interested in joining in with either an F-22 or an Osprey if I can find one for sale. [:P]
Whenever someone mentions egg planes it always reminds me of this You-Tube video…
PF: Oh wow, I didn’t know the F-22 had a sub option. [:P]
Greg: If I go with it should I call it the Shirley GB???
GH: Sounds like plan!
I guess its like that moview “Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow” where the hero had a P-40 that could both fly and maneuver under water [:O]
GAMERA Thank you.
The TIGER 1, SHERMAN, KV-2 and KING TIGER were the first 4. Be careful painting because the fit is very tight. The TIGER had the tow cables molded on so it was a tedious paint job. i think it is mid range with rubber tires but newer TC hatch. Meng learned and the tow cables on the KING TIGER are separate pieces. i had to cya the track sag on 1 but the skirts hide it on 2.
i found the Sherman the only annoying one because the sprue attachments are thick for the light guards. i have a second KV2 and going to try a winter white wash. decals can have some backing issues but that could be my not very good decal techniques.
in the states with a 40% coupon at HobbyLobby you can get them cheap though the selection is not great. They are nice to practice new techniques as they build nicely but are fast (except me, anal that i can be) and inexpensive.
i need some figures, especially some minions, for crew members.
Wayne: Those are cool! I’ve been working on the Sherman and yeah I was afraid I’d destroy the light guards cutting them off the sprue and cleaning them up. Thankfully by moving slowly they came out fine.
I’ve been trying to sculpt a cartoony tank commander but I’m not too good at it.
I personally would be tempted to call it the ‘I am serious…and don’t call me Shirley’ GB; though I cheerfully admit that name might be a little too cutesy/inside/obscure to be really useful.
It’s funny…Googling through various kit possibilities online, I ran across one I’d never seen before: Hasegawa’s version of a Loach/Hughes 500.
Oddly enough, the shape of the original is such that–other than the shortened tail-boom–you can hardly tell it’s a caricature…
