Ground Attack Group Build Pt II

Since Matt is no longer around and a few of us has picked up the old build, it has become difficult to assist in a build that has no host. So because of that I am creating a new post so that finished pics and and rules can be updated.

So here we are.

Matt’s original rules:

The rules are simple: Any Era, any Country, as long as it was an aircraft that provided ground support.

Any Fighter/bomber or even bomber. Any scale. The build will begin today, June 24, 2014 and last until June 24, 2015. If anyone has a problem with that date it can be extended with no worries just let me Know. Even rotors allowed!!!

A full year should give everyone plenty of time to enter plenty of high quality models.

Progress pics are a must

Cross overs are allowed but only SLIGHTLY started models will be accepted.

Enter as many kits as you like and most of all HAVE FUN!

Since the GB has become a “Democracy”, it will continue to be run as such.

If you were on the roster and did not start a build, I took you off, however, let me know and I’ll add you again. If I missed anybody, again, let me know.
If anyone wants to jump in at the last, I’ll put you down.

Thank you all for your participation, as I’m sure Matt would be pleased at the response.

This Build ends June 24 2015. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Looks great PJ. I got you on the wall now.

Thank you Sir!

Fantastic Steve, well done on keeping this one going!! Superb Idea for sure…

Thanks Rob,

Do you think we need a new badge, or just keep the old one? Also, should we end the GB on June 24th

as the original rules state, or do you think we should extend it a few months?

Steve

Hey Steve, IMO, I’d keep the badge and also put 'er to bed in June. BTW, that Boeing Build badge is wicked!! Gonna fit my 707 build perfectly.

Steve

IMO a new badge will be welcomed as the current one is a bit plain.

I tend to agree That the badge is a little plain. I will see what I can do. I also agree with Rob a I think we should put the build to bed in June.

There are plenty of other things going on and I feel we have served Matt properly by carrying on to finish his GB.

June 24 end date it is.

I see what I can do regarding a spunkier badge. I hate to ask Cody again as he has done so much for me, but I’ll see if I can pull one more favor. His badges are just soooo… cool.

Steve

The front page has been updated to reflect the end date.

Sounds good gents…Again, huge props to you, Steve, for your dedication…Well done and great leadership!! [Y]

Good news!

Cody is working up a new badge for us.

Can’t wait to see what magic he comes up with.

Steve

Can’t wait to see what the new badge will look like!

OK guys,

#1

The winner

Steve

Number 1

I like #2 also with #4 being a close second.

Holy crap guys!! These badges are epic…Ok, I was going to stick with the original, but, now that there’s one with a HIND, and I DID a HIND, I’m going to say…the HIND #3

Hello, I’m gonna jump in at the last minute with this one here. Should be fairly quick so I think I can make it!

Good choice Cody…she’s a tiny one, but, a good one for sure.
