One Week GB - anyone up for one ?

[kitbasher]

T minus 19 and counting. 

I have my kit ready and waiting.   

It's Airfix and has a Spey engine.   

Invested in acrylics to speed up the painting - hope it works!

I'm not building anything at present, just thinking. Got the idea, got half the parts and done some measurements but I think I've bitten off more than I can chew....it's masking and drying times that'll hold me up.  It's all fun . Looking forward to it.

A Buccaneer?

Think I know what I going to attempt. I have a Hasegawa 1/72 CF-104 still sealed in its inner bag but no box, decals or instructions. Reading the instructions would only slow me down so it's just going to be a shake and bake and count the left over parts.

Thinking of cutting down on the painting by using some large decal sheets I can cut to size.

Only issue I will have is I'm down to work three days of Easter moving servers. Convenient to the company but not to me and my build!

I'm in.  Lead contender is a crash program to avenge a series of night attacks.

But taking a hard look at the stash tonight, I have pledged myself not to go the hobby shop for this GB.....

A point of clarification arising from CANSO's query in the 'One Week GB - anyone up for one?' thread:
....Well, 'unfinished' equals 'part-started' to me; broken suggests it will be repaired - that is not a new build; a repaint of an old but complete model is not within the rules (or indeed the spirit) of the GB.

Kitbasher, thank you for answering my questions. I can't write in the other thread so I do it here.
I asked about using "unfinished, broken and damaged" models, planning to use their parts for a new kitbash only and not to repair or finish the unfinished. A Frankenstein-project so to say. But to simplify the process I'll try to avoid any painted old parts, if I decide to participate.
Thank you again!

Got a raft of things I could do. Top of the list at the moment are a Fleet Air Arm Cougar and a snowcat to go with my BAS skyvan.

A Snow Rover?

No re-vamping the BAS Trackrover is another project. What I'm thinking of is a vehicle that looks roughly like a Dodwell 110 snow tractor, made from a T-34 chassis and a M977 HEMTT cab.

Can I please ask for clarifification on one point. For me the one week build will be the aircraft itself. If I decide to make a diorama with it can this be pre-made along with pilots? The diorama/pilots are not part of the build, and I would not wish to have it judged as such, it would be for my own fun. If this is a problem I can add the diorama after the build but the pilots would have to be in place .

In clearer English, can I pre-paint the diorama and pilots beforehand with the understanding that they are not a part of the one week build and acknowledged as such?

[kitbasher]

Yes I think the diorama can fall outside the actual build.

Ohhhhhhh man, this HAS to be held when I'll be at an airshow...buying models and watching the real thing. That's unfortunate! I'll just have to follow, rather than take part

[kitbasher]

less than a week to go, playmates!

[NARSES2]

Yup a chocolate Easter bunny has been purchased to help me through the project I have in mind

I'll give it a go - stash raided for cheap, outdated kit (Airfix blister pack, price tag £0.30p) and razor saw at the ready. Spares store inspected - I'm not a hoarder, I just don't throw things away ..............
