Although I am signed on to more campaigns than I have sense for, I'm in. No worries though. I am taking this semester off so I will have plenty of time for building....just one of the benefits of being retired and having and understanding wife "Q"

Signed up!
For this GB I'll tackle the WNW Hansa Brandenburgh, that should be winging its way over to me at the moment – I have a nice setting in mind that I really fancy doing for this one, based on a photograph from the Zeebrügge station
I also have a hanger queen or two that may be entered later on this year...
Build log to be opened as soon as the kit arrives (and the DH 2 is done).

Greeetings fellow GB'ers. That could also be interpreted as "Green Bayer's", but that is a bit off topic. Anyway......I'm signed up, I have a prototype in mind. Got a new camera so pictures should have a clarity heretofore unknown to man/womankind.
Looking forward to this.

No doubt that it will be an Albie , but he could turn the table here and do the W.29

Okay, i've joined since inprogress builds are allowed. I'm already two weeks into the WNW's Gotha, so that is my build for this GB.
I'll start the build blog tomorrow then (2nd of Feb) and post progress up to where it's at now. I'm doing MoRoTAS.

Hello folks, I have been following many of the Eary Aviation threads for a while and would like to join this group build if that's OK. I've built a couple WW1 airplanes lately and have a bunch more in the stash. For this build I'll do eduard's 1/48 Nieuport 17 profipac.
A big challenge for me will be documenting the review/blog.
Thanks for making room for a rookie,
Ted

Hello to all,
I'm in however will not be able to "activate" til April. (My last tango in the world of the work force will end approximately mid month April and then I am, for the forth and final time, RETIRED!)
Subject.......were not sure; have a Roden Alb DIII on the bench and a stash of other 1/32 pendings. May go for a WNW subject however my Roden Sopwith Tripe is mighty tempting. The interim should allow for a reasonable time for research and prep. not to mention some study and learning on the nuances of building a thread, photos etc. Stand by for some frantic appeals for assistance!
Looking forward to the next years opportunity to learn from the other campaigners and the feedback once I'm underway.
Cheers,

I am thinking one of two or maybe both, seeing as we have until December. I like the Tripehound, and have the 1/32nd Roden variant with the PHEON models decal sheet for it, one of the blackflight a/c, possibly Black Maria for old times sake, the other is the WNW DV in the markings of the Jasta II black and white striped one with the picture of Bassenge, Kempf and Valendor. I have always thought that was such a great picture as did my dad. So, it is one of those or both, and then again, I could completely change my mind but probably won't. I won't be able to start soon as there is a move on the horizon, and my kitchen is in a state of total annihilation.

I have so many loose ends on the bench that this is as good a time to return to the world of modeling as ever and finally finish a project ... or two ... or three! Been gone too long, count me in on this one.
