This is a GB for Heller kits and derivatives thereof - any kit, any scale, any variant, any markings. However, not everyone is allowed to build HMS Victory, so get your bids in early. Runs 12 September through 11 October and your host is TobyC.

This is a 'manufacturer' GB for Heller kits and derivatives thereof - any kit, any scale, any variant, any markings. However, not everyone is allowed to build HMS Victory, so get your bids in early.

This GB started from a thread here.

The GB runs from September 12th through October 11th; your GBL is TobyC who will fill in any other info.

Welcome all. Looking forward to this GB. I have a positive glut of Heller kits and I'm still undecided as what to make. Hopefully I'll be doing two kits.
My current dilemma.

That'll probably be my second build. Going with the Stosser first.

With so many Bf108s we need to put out a severe storm warning.

Apart from Arcwelder's Higgins boat, there seems to be an overwhelming prevalence towards aircraft models. Personally, I don't think this represents Heller's ouput proportionally. I was going to build a Polikarpov 153 when I get home but I've decided to go in another direction. To this end I've ordered something different that should be waiting for me when I get back.

And I did it from the side of a pool in Crete. Isn't technology wonderful 8-)

Well, I could do the GMC Deuce and a half truck.
I have it in my 'models to do next' unit and it keeps getting shuffled around out of the way.
