This is where I post links to your builds. Start a blog over in the Early Aviation forum. And we have a gallery where you can post finished build image(s).

A rules query: I have a Boeing 247 (first flown in 1933) which I have long intended to build as Calgary Standard Oil's arctic workhorse. This aircraft was built in 1933 and served until 1967. Would it be acceptable marked as it appeared in the 1960s?

Well here we are barely a month along and this is where we stand. 18 enlistees with 11 builds so far.

I have a couple of Pegasus 1/72 WW1 aircraft that would be perfect for this build. I have the Spad VIIC.1 in Francesco Baracca's markings and a Bristol F2.B. Could be a real challenge for me as they have a lot of white-metal parts and need struts scratchbuilding! I do have a few other campaign builds on the go but if I can fit one of them in, I'll try for it.

I will join with Eduard's 1/48 Albatros D.III weekend edition. Looking forward to try to create the wood grain on the sides. Still scared about the rigging, so we will see how that turns out.....

Stephen, I had completely forgotten I had signed up for this so apologies for a complete lack of any builds from me.
Given the few months we have left I think I will be building the ye olde Matchbox Siskin. Quick and simple kit that even comes with a pilot.

Well here we are barely a month along and this is where we stand. 20 enlistees with 17 builds so far.

Afraid I might not get my Siskin finished by the end of the month as I'm away on holiday the last week of August.
I have a little bit of painting to do, then its on to decaling and final assembly. If I work like a demon this week I might get it done, but just thought I would let you know in case.

Hey All, I'm out. No way it's going to happen since my Daughter decided that her trip to an amusement park necessitated pulling the memory card from my camera, putting it in hers, and erasing all my start and progress shots for several campaigns. Daddy's NOT happy!
Once again, I'll reiterate my position on kids: If I knew then what I know now I'd be running a hobby/dive shop in the Caribbean.
To the rest of you I say good luck and good builds,
Charlie

Ok. Life and children intervene. With a late entry we are back up to 19 enlitees.

The GB cutoff is now extended to Sept.14, 2012. Model On!

Just made the deadline! My Siskins pics are in the gallery.
My thanks for hosting a great campaign. It got me doing something a little more unusual which I had a lot of fun building and it was great to see everyone elses builds. Its really got me more interested in Biplanes than I had been before. Who knows, I may even take the plunge and try rigging the next. Can't wait for Knights of the Sky III!
