Hans is still around. Last month he had a blizzard move through his town, he lost power for a while, and I’m pretty sure he’s working 7 days a week right now. I wouldn’t worry about him.
Ah, alright thanks for the input!
I’ve been wanting to build “Pips” Priller’s ‘Black 13’ since I watched “The Longest Day” a couple of months back…
If this build is still a go, count me in…
I’m in. I’ve been wanting to do the DUKW (Duck) also my Uncles M-10 Tank Destroyer. The Tank Destroyer will be Tamiya’s 1/35th scale. And the Duck will be Italeri’s, in1/35 scale too.
I sent a message to Hans back at the start of Feb. But he looks like he hasn’t been on the site for some time. I hope all is well and nothing to serious keeping him away.
The gist of the message was to ask if he thought he would be able to run the GB, as it would be a real shame if it didn’t go ahead. And i asked that if he felt he wouldn’t be able to host it, if i could take over the reins.
So in lieu of han’s return, and as long as you guys are ok with it, I’d like to host this GB. If Hans does return, of course i will be happy to hand it back over to him.
I would keep the GB rules and badges we already have. I know that since this thread first aired, there’s been a little upheaval and some of the people who showed an interest may no longer be around. So to that end, i won’t take any of the names already put down. So if your happy for me to take this on and you are still interested , let me know. I will post a GB thread in early May.
I think you have a good plan Bish
It would be a shame if this didn’t go ahead, and with many of the new members I think we’d have fresh volunteers for this mission.
On a side note I wonder if anyone has alternate comms with Hans to see if all is ok.
I know he was haveing computer issues a while back. It would be a real shame to lose him from the site.
On another side note, i noticed you put out a feeler for a Canadian GB. I don’t have anything to contribute to that, but i know the canadians contributed a big part to the Normandy landings and if tehres enough interest in your GB, maybe the two could be tied in together.
I was kinda hoping so - you read my mind. I was leaning towards a Juno beach thing for this so that may be my cross over
I have his email address…I could shoot him a message and see if he answers. I know he was working 7 days a week there for awhile…maybe still.
Bish,
Probably no one better to take the GB over. I may try to get in on this one (God willing). A C-47 might be just the ticket! Just need to find a model.
I’m still interested, and still in if it’s going
Chris, great minds think alike.
Len, if you could, that would be great.
GAF, thanks for the vote of confidance. I might be biteing off more than i can chew as i am planning 3 GB’s to start Jan 1st, so that will be 4 running at the same time.
Ken, it will deffinatly be running, glad your on board.
Bish - I know what you mean. I don’t have some kits for my GB’s. the X/YB-35 Flying Wing for th 1/72 GB. It doesn’t have to be done for a long time. And I havent gotten the B 52 for the Buff GB; it doesn’t have an end date on it. So this GB give’s me 4 that i have yet to build. Plus I’m working on 2 currently.
I was afraid I’d be getting in over my head too, but now that I sat down and figured it out, its not too bad. LOL
It can easily get over your head Ken. At one point i was commited to way more GB’s then i could manage. And all of my armour builds where finished but i still need to do Dio’s, i just didn’t have the time. But now i have more time and i am being careful about what GB’s i enter. Only got 6 kits for 8 GB’s to do this year.
But hosting 4 GB’s at once, wel, i am glad i have no hair to pull out[;)]
one time the CTEMBC (Truck and heavy equipment model builders club) , wanted to see pics of all the members, Well it turned out that most of the members had some stage of hair loss lol
I’m told i have balding spot on top of my head[:(] But i deny it [:D] If I can’t see it, its not happening. [:D]
I have a couple of kits that I work on when I don’t have thing else to do. but there’s no hurry on them.
I started having a skinhead in the late 80’s.I had it that shrot, i must have been the only person who was told by an Army recruiter to grow their hair. Then when i started getting a bald spot i just decided to start shaveing my head. Now if i leave it for more than a week, i get to hot and uncomfortable.
One good thing about having a decent sized stash is that when any GB come along that i may be interested in, chances are i have a kit that will fit the bill. Well, thats my excuse.
My hair started falling out after having kids…mid 90s.
[dto:] on the stash statement!
Len
Wow, There are lots of GBs going on…I’m getting crazy. I was watching Saints and Soldiers "Airborne Creed the other night and its good… And thought about this… anyway, count me in too.
Can never have to many GB’s Dennis. Its one of the good things about this site, it isn’t limited to one or 2 GB’s at a time. The trick is knowing which ones to opt into. Glad to have you on board.
Yeah, I just hope that Hans’s disappearance is only temporary, so that heis here o run this GB next year.
