Hi Ian whats the difference between the sig build and gb ? i have a couple of sci fi kits myself and just wondered what its all about and what to do
Well Ian, If you want the official reply; A SIG build stands for Special Interest Group Build where as a GB is Just a Group build.
Our forum is a bit different. My intention with the SIG builds was to find a theme that would be held quite close to the line. Like in the Then and Now one.
I would of continued along these lines with for example a SIG build of one type such as in Challenger Challenge. The problem is that there was not a lot of interest.
So on our forum SIG builds are a sort of mix of a GB with more time for super detail or scratch build options.
So unless I can convince every one that this is a good idea, you can consider the SIG's as a long group build with a narrower field of view.
Confused?

Hello boys!
I just thought I would throw a curve ball for you all to swing at.
Who fancies a "what if" themed aircraft build.
My suggestion is this:
Any aircraft, in any scale. Simple as that? Nope. Paint it in an camouflage scheme that the aircraft has never really been painted in. Be it a scheme from another air-force or a made up one. It just has to be realistic enough to be believable.
You can have the rest of the year to buy, build and paint it in. Or if you have a built kit that you are unhappy with, you can also use that for a repaint. We can drop the normal box top and sprue shots, but if you want to you can or if its a repaint, you can post a photo of the model before the repaint.
Any takers. More than ten and I'll open a build forum for it.

Hi Ian!
Is it possible to realize a commercial painting? Or only
Military?
These days I was thinking of trying again my " Crashed Tilly ", but I like so much this idea!
It will be my first plane and will be false...
I'm in!

A commercial aircraft in camouflage?..... works for me?\ said:
Ian M
Well Ian i have no idea what to do but count me in
G
ok i'll get my idea in ....... bit original methinks ..... what-if aircraft and what-if camo
It'll be a 1/72 Messerschmitt Bf 110 E-1 ......"BI-PLANE" ..... in modern korean woodland camo pattern.
Freaky enough???
If this build doesn't make it, i'll still build it for a laugh.
