Movie/TV Show GB Chat Thread

[Gern]

Luckily, I already have the players I need and hope I'm not too late to join in.

It will be a small diorama based on an iconic scene from a most excellent film.

Thank you.
Ron

Not more b****y zulus!?

Quick reminder: when you make a thread for your build, please include some background on the vehicle as it appears in the movie or show — which one is it from, who uses it in the movie/show (and perhaps why), does it do anything remarkable? A still or screenshot from the movie/show to illustrate the thing you’re building a model of would also be nice to include. All this to help people who may not be familiar with it, to better picture what it is you’ll be building

Having seen some of the prices for this, are you sure you don't want to save it towards your pension? :smiling3:

It’s ok it’s not the large one

I have decided to take part in this GB with another iconic car. I realise that "iconic" is sometimes over-used but having just binge-watched all four series of Starsky and Hutch, I just had to build the Revell 1/25 1976 Ford Torino (07038):


I will set up my build thread at the end of the week.

Having completed one iconic car for this GB, I will be building one more - the Doyusha 1/24 Aston Martin DB5 007 Goldfinger (07-1-2800)



This boxing comes with two familiar figures:

We’ll be expecting you Mr Bond……

Nice Another series I have no real affinity with, but it will definitely be interesting to see you build this one too.

Hi all
I was due to paint up a bust of Maximus Decimus Deridius, but ongoing health issues are putting a crimp in it. Currently on steroids for aggressive RA. They moderate the symptoms a bit, but unfortunately generate hand shakes which will stop me doing him justice. Still got a degree of joint stiffness and pain as well. The shaking may reduce when I stop taking them in a few weeks, but until then I’m out of this GB I’m afraid…..

Weirdly, this issue is easier to get around in small figures so I’m going to carry on with little blokes for a while…..hopefully this will mean the answer to “Are you not entertained” will still be yes…..just in a different format.

Sorry to hear that, hope you feel better very soon

Very sorry to hear that Tim. Hope it doesn't last too long.

Cheers Steve. Hopefully on the up now, but I’ve been there before so I’m hedging my bets LOL.

Not been properly under control for at least twelve months Andrew. It’s degraded my muscle tone to the point that I sometimes struggle to do normal activities. On a new treatment regime now though, so here’s hoping…..takes four months to be effective though…

Too bad, but if you can’t, you can’t — I hope it will get better and you’ll be able to paint him up at some later time

Cheers Jakko, so do I……

I was just about to start my build for this G.B.
It was going to be 'Kelly's Heros', Oddball emerging from the railway tunnel in his Sherman.
Alas, the kit I have has a cast hull. Oddball's had a welded construction.

Obviously, due to the high level of accuracy expected in this G.B., the Sherman I have is of no use.

I will try and source the correct one, but time will now be in short supply, so I'm sorry I might not be able to fulfill my commitment to this G.B.
