At the moment we have 2 Builds going
And the Malta one to start soon
Got me thinking of a fun build to do
I Saw this on ARC and thought this could be done here
How about a ''Matchbox'' group build ?
These great kits were fun fun all the way when I was younger ( thats when king tutt was alive )
this could be Planes ,Armour , cars
but the rule is you got to show the box , the 3 coloured kit
and build progress
but no aftermarket , no photoetched ,totally oob
the only thing you can use is AM Decals
how does this go down with you guys
Or do you have any Idea's for future builds

Sean,
'Matchbox' that's a good GB idea when do we start.
As for other Gb's I have a few idea's on a few subjects.
OOB idea's as per Brand, purely OOB any scale any subject..
Revell
Italeri
Tamiya
Hasegawa
OOB brand GB's to cover the entire catalogue range - {aircraft / armour/ cars/ ships/ etc. etc.}
Theatre's or Battles/Wars:-
SEAC
Atlantic
2nd T.A.F.
Operation Bishop - Nth Africa
Tobruk
El Alemain
Operation Torch
Battle of Britian
A.V.G / 23rd F.G
RNFAA aircraft
Century of Flight
Vietnam
Gulf War
Finish - Russian War
Spanish Civil War
There just some that come to mind so far.
Then these as individual Aircraft could be included as G.B's:
Hurricane
Zero
Mosquito
Beaufighter
109's
190's
F4 Phantoms
Captured Aircraft subjects
NightFighter's

For a logo we could use the box brand logo [just an idea] and I've started on the Lanc.

Started on the Lanc coz it was something different to build, looking forward to building the other 3 bi-planes, as I intend to add the rigging to them. I have the Revell Dam Buster that I'm doing for a friend, as I've helped him with his Hasegawa Lanc in the past few months.
My workshop has been turned into a "School" room because I've been helping a friend improove his skills with his model builds of mostly 72 birds.
This friend has 75 x 109 kits I don't think I'll be helping on all of them.
