As the eager crowd gathers around the table to witness the gruesome spectacle of the Mason Jar o' Doom vs Littorio, wagers are laid left and right, voices are lowered and the mood drops. A chill draft creeps into the flesh of all in the room, what cruel fate awaits or dear friend ?

Well Damian put like that I should of

Lets hope that the theme fits to my very small accessible 1/144 or 1/72 stash as the 1/48 aircraft in the stash won't fit on my travel workbench. Mind you I'm at a show next weekend that normally has at least two traders with 2nd hand kits so should be able to pick something up there.

Postman just dropped off the Kit wow that was fast. gonna open it up and take a gander will snap a pic to put on some time tonight or tomorrow. wow 330 plus peices oh well am gonna have fun with this one cant wait to get started

Just got the book from Windsock, very nice service.
I ordered the set from HGW and hopefully ill have money for the kit soon.



Kind regards,Sven.

I've consigned a little package to the tender mercies of Canada Post. Look for it to arrive sometime before the campaign kicks off...

See. Uniting against the merciless Jar of Doom brings out the charity and kindness in us

I hope their mercies are more tender than Hong Kong post..
Thanks heaps Jessie.

Are there no more modellers with the mettle? No more tinkerers with the tenacity? No more firebrand fiddlers? No more hobbyists with hutzpah? No more foolhardy finescalers?

Are we nine and twenty all that there is?

Are we few, we happy few, we band of brothers the only ones who would chance fate?

Are we the only ones to look deep into the eye of destiny and dare to blink?


Has the Jar of Doom taken its measure of kitmaker dot net and found it wanting?!?

Only you, fair reader, can help defeat the foul jar and its cruel lottery. Enlist now!

My Speed Record holder kit arrived today, in 1/72...

*AHEM!*

Allman Brothers Band . . . Jessica . . . best piece of music ever written (my daughter named after it) . . . there are some mystical forces at play here

Cheers, D

Sorry Damo but that quote pre-dates that band by centuries.

And I know what you were alluding to Jessica.

Brothers and Sisters of the congregation of the Jar of Doom, may the Force be with you.

Better?

SIGN UP NOW!

The mystical forces grow stronger, "Brothers and Sisters" is the name of the album that Jessica was written for, I can hear the faint sounds of acoustic guitar emanating from the mists around the Jar of Doom.

Ray, what have you started?

D

And Jessica is the theme song of Top Gear. My favourite TV show...

That is a co-incidence. I have all the episodes on my computer and am watching Season 17 at the moment. Just saw the great train chase episode. Hammond is an idiot..

Never in the field of model campaigns has so much been written in such a short time by so few. This thread has really stirred up the more adventurous, great idea. As we still have about 5 months before B day I am not in a hurry to buy but the plan is a Special Hobbies Hawker Tempest II, unless something else comes up

Okay gentlemen and Ladies I'll put my hand up and say hit me with the jar-o-doom and may it do its worst! This is going to be really punny I just know it! Besides I can not in good conscience let my fellow model makers take to the field of battle without saying I'm right behind you ........... wayyyyyyyy behind you.

I arrived to late on the scene Jess I've got several french aircraft I would've gladly donated to your cause just to see what you'd do with them. I've even got the Tamiya Dewotine 520 and a couple of MS410's by hobbycraft!

A hundred years of winter descends. All tastes of chicken, and the recently dead roam the streets at night.

The Jar of Doom cometh.

Chris, your lot is...

The meaning of life, the universe and everything! #42!!! "Danger Bay!" Jess is literally joyous. You'll be Tragically Hip, just don't RUSH it, if you build a great one you might get some Barenaked Ladies, kick it into (Bachmann Turner) overdrive, cause you're building a Canadian bush plane!

Hot damn! I see a beaver on floats! uh .... I hope that's not as bad as it sounds? Or perhaps a Cessna? Hmmmmmm time to go do some research! Jess if you've got any suggestions I am as always all ears.
