I got the flight deck attached to Enterprise, so I thought I’d return and show how much is visible (or not) of the SBD’s down on the hanger deck.
Port side view:
Starboard side view:
Well, you can tell they’re there–if you squint a little.
Checkmate, Nice! Really, really nice. Indeed, the view of those little beauts is a bit obstructed yet, it’s still excellent work and they make the your Enterprise pop.
Thanks, Joe. When I get to the flight deck, things should be more visible.
Looking good checkmate
Thanks, Josiah!
How’s your project coming along?
Well…I almost got to the bench but the light was broken, bought a new one, put it up…didn’t work, took a voltmeter to the wires…had to jump a neutral to it cuz some reason the wire wasn’t putting out the whole 120 v…well the new light works fantastic…I just haven’t been able to do anything with the Corsair or Hellcat since because of research papers and crap.
Semester ends in 5 weeks…I’ll be able to do some modeling before then, hopefully, but I’ll be back to the bench in force after that.
Ah, the vicissitudes of life! They interfere so often with the really important (modeling) stuff of temporal existence.
I remember well, when I was in college, how good it was to get to the end of a semester.
Looking forward to seeing photos when you can get back to building.
Would it be too late to sign up? It would be a little while before I would start my build since I’m working on my LCVP and then have my Stuka to do, but I’d like to jump in with a 1/48 Accurate Miniatures SBD-5 Dauntless.
Hey There silentbob, Good to see you here too. I personally would love to see your AM Dauntless. Certainly, I am unable to speak for Clemens but, I’m willing to bet having you join us will be just fine.
Hi, Clemens.
I noticed we don’t have any badges yet, so in some down time (when I should have been working on more SBD’s), I came up with a couple.
You can use them if you’d like.
It’s a great GB, and I’m looking forward to doing more. I’m almost done with Enterprise, if no late-term disasters happen–then I’ll get back to some SBD’s again, later in the spring summer.
I still have a “Longest Day” GB project to accomplish before 6 June! [8-)]
Welcome aboard, Bob! There’s always room for more guys in here and it’s definitely not too late! I’m very interested in that Dautless build!
Checkmate: Those badges look terrific! Thanks a lot! I was working on a couple of badges myself, but I couldn’t come up with anything I liked…
I’ll add them to the front page later today.
Very nice badges checkmate. I like. But,…umm…hey, maybe you give a little love to the Hellcat. You know…if that might be a possibility.[:D]
You’re welcome, Clemens. Glad you found them useful.
Here’s some love and attention for the Hellcat, Joe.
Those are some nice badges checkmate.
And like you, I have signed up for the D-Day GB. But I have yet to even start the Spitfire I was planning to build.
Ya beat me to it !
It looks like we might need the “longest day” to be a little longer, Rob!
That’s a nice looking badge, too, Josiah. Very catchy and dramatic!
Wow! Now those are a couple of nice badges. Thank you checkmate for taking a moment to design yours.[:D[ And then you come up with a stunner Josiah. Nice!! Now, I find myself torn between the two.[bnghead]
I added the badges to the front page! Thanks for creating them guys!
Would anyone be interested in a 3rd round? I’m thinking about opening it to all carrier based planes of all eras and nations. That would allow people who want to build modern planes to enter as well while still keeping it open for all prop figters. What do you think?
I’d be game for a third round. I have a Zero in my stash that would fit into another round, even if you don’t extend out of the Pacific.
I would also be up for another round. I have lots of kits that would fit into an open era build.
