In The Navy GB - General Discussion - GB EXTENDED UNTIL MIDNIGHT 14th JUNE.

[jcf]

Because, as you all know, having only three works in progress for this GB is not enough, i've been looking at what I could do with one of these.

Lana de Terzi Naval Air Arm?

[Old Wombat]

I know we're a long way away from the finish line, but can we ask for an extension already please?

I'm having lots of difficulty in getting something as basic as grey primer. After previously telling me it would be in the store y'day or today, they're now telling me it's the 14th! 

As the date seems to be moving in real time I'm not at all confident of it coming for a some while, and without it I can't get past even first base with painting my Double Pancake and Barracuda TFIV.

I'm all for it!

My build's taking forever to get anywhere!

Some amazing stuff on that site. 

I love the US Monitor and the Japanese catamaran carrier, but digging deeper into the site brings LOADS of interesting Whiff ideas to mind!

I don't mind co-signing on this one. I lost a whole month on my build to various "clusters."

We'll have no defeatist talk of extensions here...



...at least not until May anyway.

OK, I'll just re-date my original post then.

I have a 1/72 Mach2 Martin SeaMaster that I won on eBay, the finished product won't be as fancy as the one Kit built, but I do have the decals from the Italeri C-130J USCoast Guard . The engines will be from a 1/48 OA-10C "spares and repair " model. I will attempt to build the cradle or something similar for the landing gear.  Now that I'm going back to a 48 hour week.

A related question for people out there for something that is not part of this GB as I started it at least a year ago.

The aircraft depicts an aircraft in the colours of the FAA post 1950. I am using Humbrol paint, Hu 90 for the undersides but which colour for the top surfaces?

Hu 123 Extra Dark Sea Grey.

one month to go.

Plus the inevitable extension.

Time for Dizz to knock out six or twelve more builds...

[Dizzyfugu]

I've heard that, but the mojo is currently running a bit dry, even though there are still one or two (or three) ideas from the list that qualify for this GB.

As one of the moderators is hoping for an extension, it's going to be pretty much a given - even if I have to break COVID restrictions & drive to Melbourne to have stern words with my co-moderator.

Kettle's on.  Pick up some bickies on the way.
