First part of mine turned up in post this morning :hugging-face: now I have to order the second part and wait :disappointed2:

[Steven]

some very fine kits there, gents - thanks

[Steven]

Model Cellar in the US make some nice figures.

they do, on a personal note, trying to order items was not without issues I think I caught the owner at a very busy time - this was a few years ago however

Last year I bought some of their sandbag trench sections and the service was fine.

[Steven]

Good to know :-)

Well I've got an idea for this build, I'm going to be using a Smer 1/48 Airco Dh 2. I will put up a build thread later, but I won't be starting until 28th July

[Guest]

Look forward to that Ian. :smiling::thumb2:
I'm just waiting for two pieces to arrive, then it'll be decision making time on what to do...

My kowledge of WWI airplanes is sorely lacking (well, just about any aircraft really...) had to google that one :smiling4:
It looks to be a very impressing build :thumb2: - any thoughts on whether it will be a stand - alone or maybe dio?

It's going to be a Vignette.
The subject on a small base with a couple of other things, ( without giving anything away ).

[Steven]

Sounds interesting :-)
On that note, could somebody give a complete GB - noob (me) some pointers, in terms of GB etiquette, lest I trash around like the proverbial bull?
What I have garnered and please correct me if I am in error :
The element of surprise should be central in the posts before the start - not giving the game away - right? - but what after? can the the actual build threads be as detailed as a normal build thread?
Is a winner declared?

Hi, Brad. Can I join in please?

Not much point in writing what it will be, because there will be precious left of the thing!......:thinking:

Hi Steven there doesn't need to be a suprise, you can tell us what your building, how your going to build it, and how you are going to display it if you want.
The golden rules are
Box art and sprues must be shown in the build thread before you start.
No starting until the date and time stated
It's all just for fun no prizes

[Steven]

Cheers mate
