rightwinger26 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I'm in with an Eduard Hellcat, it's been a long time since I've been part of a GB. I'll be building this on OOB, but as its a beautiful kit with PE included, there isn't much sprucing up to do. I'll be in and out of town on a regular basis for work, but should have enough time to make it happen. Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SatelliteChaser Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Can anyone provide info on submitting banners for this GB? First group build for me, but i'd like to try a couple banners, too. Is there a deadline for banners? Any other rules/info is appreciated.

dnl42 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) I've got a bunch of banners already--I went a little banner happy--they're here... The GB rules say banners have a max size of 750x150 I happy to see more! PM me with links to your images. Edited June 28, 2013 by David N Lombard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rightwinger26 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 How do you add a banner, I'm computer dumb:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaronw Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 How do you add a banner, I'm computer dumb:) You save the banner you want into your photo hosting site (Photobucket, Fokti etc) then copy the link like you would for posting a photo. Instead of pasting the link into a post like you would post a photo, you go into your profile and paste the link into your signature block. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

xavi84 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I added two more banners this afternoon and I'll try to do a few more this weekend. If there is anything specific you guys would like feel free to ask. click -Xavi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jfmajor60 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 This will be my first group build and I'm in with Revell's EA-6A and a resin cockpit from Verlinden, I've also been looking around for a resonably priced Wolfpack wing fold set, I'll have to wait and see about that.

Diamondback Six Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Don't expect to make it on the deadline, but call me supportive of the cause. As Chief Styert (Ving Rhames) would say... "LAUNCH THE INTRUDER!!!" Speaking of, David, would you mind if I picked your brain on a few Intruder/Prowler/Tomcat questions? Grumman Historical Center never replied to my request for ideas about finding diagrams for VEP, A-6F and Tomcat 21. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscusn Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Count me in for at least one project. AMT's Grumman F7F-3N Tigercat, with CE's update set, folding wing set and Aeromaster decals in 48th scale. First GB to participate on this year. Chuck Fly Navy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Harrier/Viper Fan Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Should be up and running tomorrow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) The group build starts tomorrow as planned. But, I'm told the forum topic won't be available until Tuesday, July 2. With that, I'm re-posting the rules here. Until the topic is up, please make a quick note in this thread of what you're starting. Phantom, please don't post a completed build until the real topics are up. :P/> Grumman Iron Works Group Build Dates: July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013 Mods: David N Lombard (me), and xavi84 Included subjects: Any military or civil aircraft, spacecraft, truck, or boat that was built, at least as a prototype, and carried the Grumman name. Gulfstream, Grumman American, and the Ag Cat are on-topic, as are the FM and TBM. The EF-111A Sparkvark is also on-topic as Grumman was the prime contractor for the conversion. Northrup-Grumman and Flxible Bus are explicitly off-topic. Banners are available here. There will be a raffle, one entry per completed build. More on this later.

Aaronw Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I'm finding I have quite a few options for this. I'm fresh off a Boeing F4B-4 and still feeling the yellow wing thing, so I believe I will begin with a 1/72 Special Hobby Grumman F3F-3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Harrier/Viper Fan Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Not sure yet but I be doing either a 1/72 Hase F-14A or a 1/48 HB F-14D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dnl42 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Make sure to take the usual "this is what I'm starting from" photos so you can properly post your build threads once the GB forum is up. I'm still deciding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xavi84 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I'm in with an old school VF-84 Tomcat. Is it a little cliche? Sure it is, but it sure does look awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darren Roberts Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I'd like to offer some raffle prizes from Steel Beach. I'm also in...but I don't know with what yet. It might just have to be the 1/32 A-6 Intruder sitting in my basement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
