Gift GB

Modeling Subjects Group Builds
1

This idea for a GB came from my other half when she bought me some kits for my birthday. So if it goes wrong, i can blame her. To join, you must buld a kit, or use something in a build, that was bought as a gift. Christmas, birthday or anything else.

The build will run from boxing day this year until xmas day next 2013. But any kits you have been given in the past still count.

Any genre or scale. OOB or as much AM as you like.

Crossover allowed

If the gift was an airbrush, AM or something else, please post a pic.

Progress pics a must.

Thats it. I am sure many of us will be getting kits in a couple of weeks, and most of us should have at least one birthday during the GB. So no excuses.

Heres the badge i made will my limited talents at editing photo’s.

Please take the badge as soon as you like.

Alternative badge courtesy of Z Square 8. Feel free to use either one.

Hi Bish,

I’m in with a model sprayed by my new Airbrush. I’ll post a pic of it after Christmas.

Cheers

Tony

my wife gave me a dirty look when my last delivery arrived, can i build her a concrete helmet to go with it?

I’d love to join but Nobody gives me anything , sniff.

5

Hi ,I am in with a 1/72 Airfix Scooter that was sent to me from New Zeeland as an early Xmass gift.

Might even fit in a 1/48 Fugimi Westland Wasp if time allows :smiley:

6

Good to have you on board guys, i was getting worried for a moment.

Tony, i expect a nice pic of a brand new shiny airbrush. [;)]

Talentless, i forgot to add. You can include something bought with money given as a gift. If its anything like the look i get at the start of each month when the parcels arrive, i know the feeling.

7

OK bish , ill have to see what santa brings, my inlaws always give me 50 quid. i did get given a 144 scale starfighter but it has no decals so it will have to wait.

8

Does that include the $ I give myselff for a gift LOL! the card always reads " to Dad, from Dad"

Well the same guy who gave me the 1/72 Airfix Scooter just sent me another 1/48 Hasa A-4 E/F as a followup gift…totally unexpected! SO I might be in with this one aswell :slight_smile:

Theuns

9

Thats always my excuse. Its a gift to myself.

2 Scooters, after seeing the your thread on Dio’s, looking forward to seeing how you do these.

10

I’m in with whatever my Secret Santa (aka Bullet21) sent me from the Great White North for the Secret Santa GB…it’ll be a 2-fer build!

p.s. I think it’s a DML/Dragon kit…it does not rattle when I shake it [:^)] [:O] [;)]

11

Bish: I’ll enter with the Airfix Victoria Cross Icons (1/72). I’ll probably do the Fairey Battle.

12

Gla to have you on board again check. Is that the set that has the Blenheim?

13

It is, Bish, and if I can get around to it, I’ll probably include that too. I’ve already finished the Hurricane for James Nicolson.

14

Are their any pics of the Hurricane on here. Would be great if you can build them both.

15

I think I took a few pictures during construction, but didn’t post them anywhere–although I thought about including it in the OWL’s “Force of Nature GB”; just didn’t get to it. I also did up the Hurricane from Revell Germany’s Battle of Britain set at the same time, using markings from the Dunkirk era. Compared to Airfix, that was a real handful.

16

One sleep to go, so don’t forget to join the GB if you get any nice modelling pressies tomorrow. The GB starts on Wedensday so hopefully we will get some more recruits.

17

My presents were English tea and a Brown Betty to make it in.

18

DARN!!!

I got so exited about my little 1/72 Airfix A-4b Scooter that I started it a few days ago, totally forgot we are only supose to start tomorrow ! :wink:

SO please delete the Airfix one from the roster, I will do the 1/48 Hasa A-4 E/F for the GB. I understand “Santa” will be sending me another 1/48 A-4 F Israeli scooter from NZ next year, so that one might also be in the gb.

Just goes to show, do not leave model building for a few months like I did, when you start up again you get to “involved” and forget the GB rules LOL

Festive season to all!

Theuns

Theuns, well it is xmas. I’ll let you off if you still want to enter the Airfix kit.

20

Count me in please. Little birdy says I am getting a Revell 1/48 B-24 model so thats what I will build for this GB.
