2008 Group Build : Log your subject

Post by **CBartholomew4677** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 1:40 pm

Hello All,
I'll take the initiaitive and officially kick-off the 2008 Group Build. The winning theme was #1: F1 car with green or yellow color. Based on this, I went through my current stockpile of F1 kits and boiled it down to either a Jordan, Jaguar or Lotus. And the winner is the Jordan Honda EJ11. Despite being a big Jordan fan, and a big admirer of what Eddie Jordan did in F1, I haven't built a Jordan in a long time, so this is a great opportunity to knock one out. I like the shark mouth on the EJ11, the livery on this one is really cool.

I'll separate the specific WIP pictures to a different forum entry, but here you all go. I like the idea of finishing at the end of the F1 season, so I've decided to follow this path for myself.

I look forward to seeing all of your plans and subjects.
Cheers,
Chris

I'll post the second - I'm going for the Williams FW14B - should be mostly box stock, with the appropriate 'banned' decals, and I'm toying with using CF decals instead of the texture Tamiya molded into the surfaces. We'll see how that goes . . . . looking forward to participating, though!

Count me in for a Lotus 99T, I was actually getting ready to start this in anger very soon anyway!

I am in with a Mario/Carlos Lotus 79 in Martini livery. The rare thing about it is that it'll be a transformed Ty010 with custom decals!
Hey, first greeny here!

Although if we mix the FW14 colors, well, as an avarage it's green

If rules permit it, I might join later on with something more, I'd like to do something more.

oh yeah...
Put me down for a 1/20 Tamiya Lotus 107, followed by an S27 Lotus 100T (yeah, I know Ian, aka 'specialstages'-I need another model like I need the proverbial 'hole in the head'...), and somewhere in between, a 1/43 Minardi M189 (yellow stripe across the engine cover).

Emsquared, Are you doing the 1992 107 or 1993 107B? I'll do the other one. I thought I better get my entry in early as I don't have the stockpile of unbuilt kits that many of you do.

I would pick either Tyrrell 012 or Jordan 191

Well I think I will be in with a Jaguar R1 based on the MP4/13
However I am going to start with the Jordan 191.

Hello,
I was going to do the 1992 car (107). How's this: you tell me which one you want to do. If you have your heart set on the 92 car, then go right ahead: I really don't mind. Though remember: choice of subjects are not exclusive, so do whatever you want to build. AFAIC, this build is simply about showing our models, it is not restrictive or competitive in any way.
