Simon T Memorial GB: Nov-Feb 2020. Chat thread

[Lee Drennen]

Richard. That’s ok with me and if you finish and have time for another build that’s fine also. If anyone finishes before the time and would like to start another build that’s ok.

[Gern]

Dang Dave,

Here I was thinking you were going to make Shish-Kebab for everybody for dinner.............

You'd have to see April or May for cooked food Allen!

[Ian M]

IMPORTANT!!!! PLEASE READ!

Due to the fact that this is a Memorial GB for Simon T, I have decided, (with a little shove from Lee) that the finished builds for THIS GB be kept together in one place. Most likely a subsection to this GB. Just need to figure out the best place and way.

[Mr Bowcat]

I'm going to join in with this. It not sure what yet but I think I have something German from WW2 in the stash that should do the job.

[bilbo]

I'd like to join in with this if I may? I might miss the deadline completely, Simon would approve, as I have to have my thesis in by January 11th, but I haveI have a couple of ideas:

1) Like others a nod to Simons Mech build - I have the Knight Preceptor

2) I could attempt to do a scratch build, Simon's builds always inspired me to try this, as he always made it look so easy, I would attempt to scratch build this vehicle, no idea how to do it but I have plasticard, and copper foil and a box full of sharp cutty things.

[Lee Drennen]

Thank you all for the great support for this GB.
You may join in at any time.
Your Model can be any Scale and any Subject. Plastic, Resin, Wood and Alloy is welcome.
The kit (by special agreement by the moderators) can be started but not over 50% done . It can be Half scratch Half kit or all Scratch or all Kit.
The main thing is to have FUN and build what YOU want to build for Simon’s Memory.
You can make your build thread already now so you are ready for the start, the 1st of November but remember no building until the start date.

I'm going to join in this GB, not sure what I will build, but i have a few old Tamiya & Italeri kits in the stash, add a few upgrades. That would be something Simon would have liked.

[KarlW]

I must be as invivible as Tim was earlier........

[Lee Drennen]

KarlW. I see you now. I’ll add you to the list sorry I missed you

[Tim Marlow]

Right, I’ve dug through the unbuilt stuff, and am going to do this....

but....as there are two I’m building one straight and one like this....The guy at the back looks like he’s so embarrassed he’s trying to hide from the camera.

Not sure if I’ll go for the crew as well yet.... I’ll have to source figures which could be hard..

[Lee Drennen]

Tim. I don’t know if this will help but I built this one. The figures are very nice. Simon built the same kit as well. While I was building mine he PM me some pics of the one he built. But sadly my phone died and I lost most my pics. Simon took this kit beyond what I could ever think of doing to this kit.

[Tim Marlow]

I’ve built that Zvezda gun as well Lee. I use it as fire support for my Normandy German collection. In gaming I don’t think it could hit a barn if it was inside it :smiling5:
I have quite a few metal 20mm figures that may suit....and know where I can get others but I think the biggest problem will be getting them to fit on something that small.

Hi all

So I was going to go with a very old Bf 110 I've only just started but that was going to be OOB. instead I'm going to do one of these. There won't be any scratch work but there will be PE to stretch me a bit. That might not sound like much to the PE experts but the only other PE I've use has been the mesh screen on an SdKfz 222.
