The 1960's GB General Discussion

[PFJN]

Hi,
Can I do a build of the Revell Trabant 601S.
Pat

Pat, providing whatever you build from it is based in the 1960's, then fine.

What we decided you couldn't build in these decade GB's was, for example, a 1960's designed/built aircraft depicted as serving in the 1970's.

Any doubts PM me or the Mods 

Hi,
Thanks.  I think the model 601 was first introduced in 1964, so I'll try and make sure that what I build reflects how the car would have looked back then

No problems and don't forget if all else fails there is the Backstory to be played with

Kit's Rule #2, if memory serves... 

[PR19_Kit]

It's infallible.   

[NARSES2]

4 Weeks or so to go gents 

[PR19_Kit]

Hmmmm, my Scimitar's looking unlikely at the moment, but I may make some progress.

And we can always ask (plead........) for an extension of course.

Gentlemen, I regret that due to unforeseen circumstances** , the backstories I had planned for this event  have not yet been completed.  May I therefore beg an extension  to the conclusion date of this group event to give me a chance to offer something appropriate.   Should it be necessary, a small payment in devalued Zimbabwean dollars  (currently exchangeable in Harare at 250 trillion to the US dollar), elderberry futures or second-hand pencils could be offered as a bribe consideration

Yours, grovelingly ,  Rheged


**circumstances including sloth, procrastination , Madame Rheged being  temporarily indisposed, a good book to read,  personal ineptitude, and my "get up and go"   having got up and gone

Here I was concerned I was running out of time..not checking the date for the end of this GB not withstanding...I can now chill a bit and not rush ...both entries are built..it's painting only and details..happy now 

[NARSES2]

Pleas for extensions will be considered nearer the time, once the appropriate bank accounts have been set up

Still  approximately useable; but bearing copious teeth marks of the seven year old,  to whom they were loaned, currently living in another part of the complex that constitutes Chateau Rheged.

[NARSES2]

Just over a week to go people

[zenrat]

I'll need the usual two week extension please.

I can offer half a dozen pens on chains, a roll of Return to Sender stickers, and a genuine old style canvas mail bag soiled with genuine mail van grime.
