Anyone Contemplating Any 1/72 Great War Builds?
« on: July 19, 2014, 05:02:59 AM »
Over at HyperScale's 1/72 Forum, we are going to be starting a WWI Group Build on July 28....

http://www.network54.com/Forum/644810/thread/1403495389/World+War+One+Centennial+Group+Build

http://www.clubhyper.com/forums/groupbuildframe_2.htm

It is a very friendly place, and we have only recently started doing group builds there.

Only restrictions are subject aircraft must have served in WWI, and of course must be in 1/72 scale.

Build runs to Armistice Day.

I will be scratch-building a Martinsyde S.1 Scout of the India Flying Corps operating with Gen. Townsend's force for it.

I would like to get a good showing for this, so if anyone does have a 1/72 subject in mind I hope you will show up. If you are not already a member over on HyperScale it is very easy to sign up.

Can it be already started? Once I finish the Hannover I plan on getting back on to the Ilya Muromets, although I doubt I'll get it finished by Armistice day THIS year!

I think the usual '25% or less' standard would be in effect, Sir. People have been pretty flexible on interpretations so far (this will be only the third GB we have done there). Certainly the thing would be welcome in the forum, people there mostly build older types anyway; jets are rare, and there are a couple of people who do some good Great War work. I have been think of taking this opportunity to invite a couple over here, in fact.
