A "one week" build, get it? ONE! Week!
Oh failed irony again. think I'll take up knitting.

Well, I must be a crotchet man too . . .

I think I can manage one weak build in one week, so I think I'm in

Quote from: BungleOh poo ! I'm away on a course the 13th and 14th July so I'll lose two days..... special dispensation to start on the 8th ? Pretty please ?

Wouldn't want to start early without permission (of course I could just wait for the customary 4 week extention at the end)

No extensions! You're getting 9 days as it is! Just wallow in the moral superiority that will come from actually building yours in a 7 days. The only "extension" is for those in the Americas, in that I don't formally close the GB till the Monday morning, also known as the "Leigh in California Rule".

Ok I accept your paltry conditions. Consider the gauntlet slapped across my chubby cheeks and cast to floor. I stoop, creakingly to pick it up Before sling it back to you as I shriek "A duel - my weapon of choice the Gloster Javelin...."

I'll see at dawn on the 20th weapon in hand (ooooh Matron...). Say good bye to my wife for I may be missing for sometime (defintely missing something).

QuoteA duel - my weapon of choice the Gloster Javelin

GAH! I laugh at your choice of of weapon! I've seen thinner trailing edges on lunar obelisks!

BTW, you'd damn well better be building a Gloster Javelin now.

In 7 days total.

OK, I'm taking up the challenge this year and am planning TWO entries, in 5 days! One will be last year's prize, as Nev has ruled that I MUST build it for this year's GB. It's a Tamiya Mutt which will be built as a gun carrier from the 1970s Dalek Wars, complete with captured Dalek weaponry. The second build will be...an aeroplane....you will have to wait till the GB to find out what.

BTW, Nev, a question...can I prebuild the scratchbuilt Dalek gun, or must it be done as part of the build? Bear in mind I'll be spending half the GB in England visiting dad, so show a little mercy

Well I had two ideas, one of which turned out to be a reality

Was thinking French Hellcat in Indo-China, then found out they had them before Bearcats

Oh well first reserve is lined up - and it's a Jet

You're actually building a Jet?!?!?!?!? what have you done with the REAL Narses?

Hman · July 05, 2009, 10:18:06 AM

I am in. I may actually complete something without mucking up the paint and/or dropping it on the kitchen floor this time...

You could always do the French bird as a bubbletop Hellcat like in Robert's thread.

Or a jet is nice.

10th till 20th?

Hmmm, last exams for this term will be on the 14th.

I think I'll have some time after those exams. Now, what to build....?

So many possibilities. Since Nev will be the host, how about that Japanese Rafale (F-2 camo) in 1/144 I've been putting off for far too long?

It would be rude not to!

JASDF is always good Moritz.....alas if you check out The Rules, you'll see WMDs are banned......

philp · July 06, 2009, 09:26:45 AM

Aren't all Canadian and British subjects WMD's?

Shoot!

Okay, contingency plan: Rafale in JASDF F-1 camo!

And/or Rafale as VFA-31 Tomcatters CAG bird.

I've got as much chance of doing something in that time as I have of cycling to the Moon......

You and me both, Kit.

Sorry about that Moritz - how about doing an Aggressor, or Senkyo special markings?
