Hooray for Hollywood 2014 GB extended til July 4th

Modeling Subjects Group Builds
1

I just found the Hollywood GB from 2012 and thought it would great if it was an annual Group Build. If we get enough interested participant, we can go ahead and get it started.

I’ve copied the rules from 2012, (Thanks Konigwolf13) and if anyone has any more ideas, we can include them into the rules as well.

Rules

Start Date : May 2nd 2013

End Date : Oscar night 2nd March 2014

This group build is open to any model of something that has been in Movie, Television or Animation, the catch is the build must be marked/painted/decaled as it occured in the movie or show.

eg Top Gun An F-5 could be done as long as it used the black with markings for the MiG-28.

Battle of Britain using Ha-1112 instead of real 109’s

Battle of the Buldge M-47’s as Tigers and M-24s as Shermans

Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon Kits, Airwolf for Television

Gundam, Figures Kits for anime

The Chevy Titan Tractor Trailer from Beverly Hills Cop 1 (The one that

the bad guy plows into every thng in his way in the beginning of the movie)

I seen recently that AMT has come out with Eddie Murphy’s Nova he drives in the movie

The Volkswagon Beetle from Herbie, The Love Bug

Its a big world with so many choices…

Crossovers Allowed.

All ready started kits are fine at no more than 50% complete

We have made a Group Badge, Just make sure you finish your build(s). And Thank GAF for the work on the great looking badge.

I’m also going to attempt to create badges from the movie/shows we are making our builds from. This way, we will have our own unique badge. I will be posting them here. If you want a particuler picture from your show, post it here and one of us will set it up for you. And If you have the computer programs, you can make it up your selves. Stay tuned

And here is mine: Just an example

2

I think I’d be interested. I have George Peppard’s Pfalz hanging around somewhere from “The Blue Max.”

3

The 86th Academy Awards will be on 2 March 2014.

Well…I guess I could finally build the M51 from The Big Red One. Of course, there’s also the Ford Mustang from the RoboCop series. I already built the Taurus.

4

I was just thinking i haven’t got anything that would fit this, then remebered all the star wars and star trek kits, so count me in. About time i built another Sci Fi kit.

Temporary build roster and completed builds.

While Ken is trying to sort things out, I will be helping out with the GB. Any new entries and completed build pics will be added here and then Ken will move them to the first post when he is able to.

5

Just found a report that says Oscars next year are 2nd March. Why not make the start date 2nd May, that would give a 10 month GB.

6

Good Idea Bish The official start date now is May 2nd 2013.

7

Are you going to start a seperate GB thread or use this one.

8

I thought I would just keep this one

9

Ok. Not sure exactly what i will be doing yet, but it will probably be one of my star wars kits.

And i can’t believe i just commited to yet another GB. I must be mad.

10

Same here Bish, But i went one step fuirther and started one, I’ve never hosted a GB before.

Let me know what you’ll be doing and what it will be starring in.

11

Don’t worry, i am sure you will do fine. The main thing is to try and keep it going, even if it slows down a bit. Nothing is likely to kill a GB off more than if the host doesn’t take part.

Now, you just need a badge.

I am planning of starting 5 new GB’s within the next year, i love a challenge.

12

We must mad !!! MAD I say [:S] LOL

I’ll look and see what I can find for a badge tonight

Okay, I’m in here alot anyway so not taking part shouldn’t be a problem.

Ken

13

hey bish

you are mad. and so am i. i have Nationals up the road from me in august, 20 shelf queens and i just committed to canadian GB (GRIZZLEY 6x6), many props (maybe i’ll finish the ME-264) and a possible police GB (MP 4x4 M1117)and japanese GB (JGSDF TYPE 96B 8x8. i have an FFG-7 in the queue. that would work for HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER or an AKULA SSN.

what GBs are you thinking of starting. i was thinking of a warwheels one, maybe just modern armor, maybe just all trucks, maybe just military wheels. hell i;ve ggot 30 of them in my stash including 2 SCUDs and 4 tank transporters. or maybe a choo-choo GB.

14

now i’m playing trivia pursuit about real ships in movies.

uss savannah IN HARM’S WAY

just thought of my american 4-4-0 locomotive. the william mason from the b&o rr museum was in THE GREAT LOCOMOTIVE CHASE and THE WILD WILD WEST awful movie.

15

Wayne, We’d like it if you come in to this one too. What can I put you down for ??? [:D]

HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER or an AKULA SSN???

Ken

16

hi ken

ok i’m in. i’m going with either 1/350 REUBEN JAMES FFG-57 or 688 boat DALLAS from red october . the soviet boat was an ALFA. i erred when i called it an AKULA. probably can’t use it since it was computer generated in the movie. his name was V.K. KONOALOV. pity. let me know if i can because i found an ssn twofer.

or my 1/24 american 4-4-0 GENERAL from the great locomotive chase.

17

Theres the D-Day GB i have taken on, thats if Hans von Hammer doesn’t come back. Thne i have been talked into running a Flak GB, that took some real arm twisting. Then i have 3 more ideas that i am working on. I was going to start those 3 on Jan 1st next year, but going to re think dates and so on i think.

18

Wayne

My feelings are it was in a movie, Thats all that matters. so I’ll Put you down for The AFLA, Was it in the hunt for red October movie?

19

yes all 3 “boats” were in the movie.

20

ok Do you want to go for the Alfa then?

If anyone wants to change their builds, its no problem. just let me know. we can anytime before the start date. I’m thinking of changing mine. Dont know yet it will be though.
