Count me in - I've always secretly quite liked the nasty little acrylic pots that come with both the Airfix and Revell starter sets and have a large collection of them these days.

Thank you all for your interest so far! It's getting quite exciting :-D
Also thank you to Old_Tonto for the ideas to rules I will post a set based on this once we have enough interest ;-)

I might have a starter set or two in the stash, although who am I to say no to another Spitfire for the stash? ;-)

Count me in.

No, Cherrytree hasn't visited here since August 7th
Maybe you would care to re-start it?

Yep, give it a go OT, I think it'd be a great GB; sort of back to basics
Best wishes

I like the sound of this one, but could I add an extra dimension? It's a one-day build, you've got to have it finished by teatime having preferably bought it in the morning, all the family have to admire it and then you get to shoot it with an air rifle the next day. That's getting back to basics!

You've just increased the cost of my starter kit as I now have to go and buy a replacement air rifle :ha:

I would be up for this GB. I have just acquired the Revell 1/72 Messerschmitt 109 G10 starter set from a local charity shop. It was missing the glue and brush but still had the paints. The included paints are Light Blue, Dark Green, and Anthracite which would be enough for me to have a reasonable crack at this kit.

I have the glue and brush from other starter kits which I can use to keep within the framework of this GB.

Cheers

If anyone wants to stock up ahead of this GB (I'm hoping it will run by the way!), Airfix a re knocking 25% off some starter sets (and gift sets too....)
