Time to think Twins

[Gary]

Ok lads. With the successful conclusion of the One Week Build and the South Americain Build it's time to turn you heads to twins. Many of ya'll have works in progress or you havn't even had time to think about it. But here goes.

Basic rules:
1. Have fun doing it and if your definition of fun includes drinking beer while building, so be it!
2. The finished model should be one of two styles, either twin boom tails like the P-38 or the Vampire, or be a Zwerlling style... did I mention beer, oh sorry. Where was I? Oh yeah, the second type was a Zwerlling style, like the Twin Mustang or the Heinkle glider tug thingy.
3. Entries must be posted by October 15th. Progress shots welcomed and feel free to include a backstory if necssary, preferrably beer induced.
4. There will be a first place prize of a Nordatlas by Heller, a second prize of one of Trophe's fantastic books and third prize of a smaller as yet selected model. Likely something to do with beer.
5. Ya'll vote for your favourite three, giving you first choice three pts, second two pts and third one pt. In this way you have the chance to comment or pick multiples depending on how much beer you've consumed.
6. As administrator, I am out of the running, however Troph hopefully will enter. I will put some stuff together just for giggles and a reason to drink beer.
7. I will also post the most drunken snippets of the comments along with the winners and we will have three days for voting and six days of partying after the closing.

Hmmm have I left anything out? I think I'll go have a beer to ponder. Maybe two. Hmmm that's a couple of twins... not a Learjet but a Beerjet!

I really should have breakfast before beer

Sorry: What is the meaning of the English word 'entry'? My dictionary gives 3 meanings: (sport) running with the others; (administration) registering one's name; (financial) paying like the others.
My answer is OK for the 3 of them, or the one you meant, just tell me what should I do.
Just posting a photograph of the finished model? Without a personal topic on this forum for it, but sending it in a future topic including all candidates and voting device?

PS. I fully respect the beer lovers, while I personally don't like the taste of beer/wine/cheese (I am heretic for that in France, and with what-ifism moreover, that makes much guilt as a total...). Will Coke or MountainDew drinkers be allowed to come in also? Thanks...  

[Hobbes]

in this case, #2 "(administration) registering one's name" comes closest: your entry is the aircraft you enter into the competition. You'll have to post at least one photo of the finished model. More photos (including in-progress shots) are optional.

Can us non -drinkers  not called Tophe enter?

I can pour some brandy on my entry and flambe it if you like?

Actually I've been itching to get this started, got some good ideas, now I just gotta buy a 1/48 B-1, two Concordes, a Supermarine Walrus and some Powerpuff girls stationary and I'll have enough for one of my ideas.

Sorry I'm too drink to answer... I wonder why?


Ok, addendum to rule #1, non-booze refreshments are allowed including blonds brunettes and redheads.

Hey, did anyone see where I put my beer?

Gary, as for Beer: I hope that brunettes are allowed, not mandatory: wellcome as well to modeller girls and TS : let them be free to have company of a Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise double, if they prefer

Mystery... Do you prefer to let us wait or could you tell us a little more? E for Electronic? T for Twin-Sabre or Sabre-Twin-Boom? Feel free to say not a single word (or only one: "secret"!): wanting to know is pleasantly teasing as well...

[nev]

Patience my friend, all will be revealed

Well, that part'll be easy !

 

[retro_seventies]

[Tophe]

Uh? Separately in the same way, or gathered into only one? We will see...  

[retro_seventies]

[NARSES2]

Well I'm doing my Chain Lightning, but havn't decided what scheme yet ?

[SinUnNombre]

I'm in! Once I actually buy some kits and do something resembling work on them. Man, I need a girl.....
