My contenders

[nev]

First up is my Airbus A380(Revell, 1/144).  Or as its known in RAF parlance, the Airbus Ajax C.1   Will I finish it before the real thing ever enters service?  





Then there's my Milicast 1/76 Black Prince



Then the long-stalled Anigrand 1/72 Mirage 4000.  I'm not sure which is stupider, vacform canopies, or that French Blue-Grey that no-one does the correct shade of  :dum:  She will be RAAF if she ever gets finished.



Last but not least is my Airfix 1/144 VC-10.  Or should that be CC-137? CVC-110?

It never had its own thread but pictures can be seen here of what was a planned Airfix GB entry



Now, which to focus on......probly the one that needs the most work to finish! (A380 it is )

[Captain Canada]

Oh geez, I'd better get looking around. I've probably got 3000 half-starts posted here.

And I wouldn't say a kit that was started 3 days ago would be a Phoenix build. I thought the rule was, as nev stated, it had to be somat you poated here before ?

[Shasper]

Well Wooks asked, and I gave my opinion. Now if someong would like to lead this crusaid against project stagflation by making some official rules...

Nice ones, Nevster ! Maybe I'll try and finish my CC-380 Ajax ( I like that name ! ) as well, I'd also like to finish my VC-10.

Other than that, a search thru the old 'projects' thread revealed to me

RCN Sea Horse-circa '02, Spitfire, Lizzie-duck, MEXAS tank, HP Victor-circa '03, Merkava, CF-122M Backfire, Slig-SHAR, scratch-built tank thing, sub-carrier, Concorde, BAC 1-11, and 3 x STA from '04. Last years unnfinished gems incl. about 6 tanks ( in 72nd scale ), HMCS Pouch Cove Patrol Carrier, Candid transport, HMCS Chignecto CPS, CF-106, as well as a pair of Sea Kings. From this year, I've got my Challeneger mini-ASTOR, as well as my armed Trawler.

Don't forget all the ones form the old site, that many of you may have witnessed.......

At least I've got alot to choose from !

 

[K5054NZ]

I'll be in with:

Shortened SR71

Hawker Siddeley HS.1410 Fury II

TurBeaufighter

What else, I;m not sure. There's bound to be more tho...............................


















Ooh ooh! F-18L, that's what! Camo'd Armee d'lAir maybe........

[gooberliberation]

I've got a few to chose from,

Main course: Zvezda Su-47

Ye-8esque mig-mirage kitbash

Double-Lightning V-Bomber from airfix build

Modernized Sopwith Camel(i gave up after i broke the struts for the 100th time)

Navalized Mig-27. Ive decided that i hate the paintjob it currently sports.

And finally, an Iraqi su-27 and Swiss f-29... both suffering from horrible cases of PPP*




*My own contribution to the modeling lexicon: Post-Putty/Post-Painting Paralysis -the lack of motivation to complete a model after finishing "the hard stuff;"  postponing things like decals, landing gear, weathering etc due to expended modeling-momentum.

Here's mine:



NS Savannah being rebuilt as a nukular powered supply vessel for the USN. I started this at least 8 years ago, and pulled it back out just for this group build.

I still need to buy a helo and some detail parts, but it's on the bench again! ^_^

What scale of chopper you be needing, Mr. Poutre ?

[anthonyp]

I've got that Mutant Sonic Cruiser (MSC henceforth), the HMS Hood CGAN, and the German Navy Deutschland carrier to contribute (ie, pics were taken of them long ago).  I'd like to throw in two others that have been on the bench a while, but neither were photographed for posting until after the idea for the Phoenix GB was put on the board.

Joe, how's that kit?  I've been thinking of picking one up (P&D Hobbies and Rider's has one of them).

[John Howling Mouse]

ALL of my prior builds are 100% complete already and I have never stagnated or procrastinated on any build, anytime, ever...    

[Leigh]

Guess I've got the Rotodyne from the Airfix build, and the Sanders Roe from the Vac form.

[BlackOps]

Well, the Gripen X-wing should be here but man I want to give up on this one     I'll try and muddle on through but it's turned into a real bugger, might be OK if I take distant blurry photos  



I hate when you try something new and it was definately not the best way to do it DOH!

I think my Pirate Vosper Patrol Boat is old enough to qualify for this one too...I need to get back on that one!

My Martian fighter and Macross YF-21 are both near completion so I won't bother entering them.

My Martian fighter and Macross YF-21 are both near completion so I won't bother entering them.

If they were shown on this site before and they're What If's but were not fully completed in the past, I see no reason why you can't enter them.

I'd prefer to open doors rather than close them, if you know what I mean.   ^_^  

[nev]

Nice ones, Nevster ! Maybe I'll try and finish my CC-380 Ajax ( I like that name ! )

"In Homer's Iliad he (Ajax) is described as of great stature and colossal frame"

Thought it was appropriate for the 380

As for your multitude of candidates Todd.  That carrier-sub thingy has long been a favourite of mine.  And your RCAF Transport Command kicks donkey.

Or it would if any of it was finished    

[Joe C-P]

What scale of chopper you be needing, Mr. Poutre ?

CH-46, the USN's vertrep helo of choice, Cap'n.
