Love the kettenkrad john. I keep my eye out for that kit on the new zealand version of ebay called trademe. Lucky man...nice haul especially for £15 which is $30 here. Mint.

I've built a couple of bikes.....and the Tamiya kits are really good. I'll probably knock this one out after I finish the Countach .............. In my gallery is the "Rossi (Austin Powers) Repsol Honda I built. Great kit with murderous decals.

When does that start............... and how long do we get Ian????

Peter

 

[papa 695]

Hi Peter it starts 1st July and we have 3 months to complete it

 

[Dave W]

I thought you'd proposed a Tiger meet sig build for 1st July?.

 

[papa 695]

I did Dave but you need 10 builds to start the SIG and there is only 4 so at the moment its scrapped

 

[john i am]

Lads sorry if I sound abit dumb but can someone tell me what a sig build is please and how you get into it I think I get the idea it's some kind of competition and you have three months to build it from the 1st July thanks

The nest GB is a bike build chaps.....Ian M

[takeslousyphotos]

Hi John a SIG build is a Special Interest Group Build as it goes now, if you have a SIG in mind say the Tiger Meet SIG i proposed, it could be anything like a unit or sqn vehicle/plane you post the idea in the SIG forum and you set the time it starts and finishes and any other details you wish to add, and if you get 10 or more interested builders it goes ahead. I hope this helps.

Thanks Ian for explaining I will keep my eye on these :winkingshades:

Good Haul John........... Can you use the R75 Combo in the July GB ???? ........... I don't think it says anything about not using military bikes ????

Peter

 

[Ian M]

Just to clear up a few point about the SIG builds.

Suggest a topic, and try to get ten in total. As for a start date that can always be sorted out along the way. Setting the date at the start can put some people off. Leaving it open until you have the required number just gives more time for people to find a victim and plan the build.

So Ian's suggesting of a Tiger Meet SIG is not scrapped, its still in the planing. For those wondering Google pictures of Tiger meet and see the things that turn up.

Peter, John is more than welcome to build the combo in the group build. Its a motorbike after all.
