ghodges Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 And yes, I meant to shout! I will have two DISPLAY tables at the IPMS Nats in Columbus dedicated to any and all F-86 Saberjets and/or FJ Furys. That means ALL scales, ALL types, ALL nationalities and markings; from the F-86A thru the F-86H, and from the FJ-1 Fury thru the FJ-4B Fury. They do NOT have to be contest quality! This is just an attempt to see how many of them we can crowd onto the tables! If you can bring one or more, please email me (Gil Hodges) at: slowhandshodges@bellsouth.net; so I can get an idea of how many to expect. Heck, I'd love to add a third table if needed! Thanks!

TimDarrah Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Gil, As you know, my 78th FBS F-86A and 45th TRS RF-86A in 1/72nd scale are done. My 1/72nd SAAF F-86F is decaled and will be glosscoated before weathering tonight after work, so that puppy "should" be ready in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Thanks Tim! Glad you'll have some new ones to place on the table. For the rest of you, old builds (like mine that I'm bringing) are just fine! Cheers! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 8/10/9 (BUMP) While I'm getting a lot of responses, I can always use more F-86's and FJ Furys in Columbus. Email me off board if you can bring one or more for the display. Thanks! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimDarrah Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 What's the count so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I had one packed to go but nobody from my club who was going was willing to bring it. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Kennedy Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 8/10/9 (BUMP) While I'm getting a lot of responses, I can always use more F-86's and FJ Furys in Columbus. Email me off board if you can bring one or more for the display. Thanks! GIL Hi, Gil: I have a 1/144 F-86F that I built with Blue Impulse markings that I made myself. Hope you can use it.

ghodges Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Thanks Jack, I can use it! I just put the word out to my fellow RC's to be spread out to all clubs east of the Mississippi yesterday, as well as word on Hyperscale and here; so I'm hoping for more responses in the coming week. Got a total of about two dozen so far, so there's plenty of room for more! ANY that are bought will an improvement on the 6 I'm bringing! Cheers!

ewahl Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Gil, I forwarded your request through my RC5 to one of my guys who will be attending on Friday only. He builds 1/48 Sabre Jets of the Korean aces, and does a magnificent job worthy of contest judging. Is is OK for him to bring his models for display on just one day? He would have to remove them as he leaves Friday evening. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 You bet, this is just for fun. The main idea is to get models there that otherwise wouldn't be there. Tell him to email me if he can help out. GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveCollins Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 How about Royal Baker's F-86F in 1/72? If there's room in the box (and there should be), it'll be there. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 It's 1/72, how much room could it take up? Thanks Steve! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 (Bump) The count is up over 30 so far, so a big thanks to all who've contacted me so far. You can STILL bring Saberjest and Furies, but don't bother trying to contact me as I'm already in the Columbus area and have limited computer access. Just bring your models and place them on the table. They'll be 3x5 cards there that you can fill out to identify your contributions. Please feel free to bring a model for the display even if you'll only be at the show for that one day! Part of the reason for doing this is to allow people a chance to see models that otherwise wouldn't be there (not in the contest). Just place them on display at your convenience and pick them up when you're ready to go. Cheers! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghodges Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Thanks for all of the help and support guys! I ended up with two full tables and a total of 36 models on display! Now, did anyone take pics of my tables....???? I totally forgot! Cheers! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClareWentzel Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 It was pretty dark up there and kind of cramped but here are a couple of photos showing the breath of the display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weedeater Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 This display is AWESOME looking. Huge Kudos to Gil for devising and directing it and to all those that supported it . Bummer I could not see it in person this year. But I hope to contribute to Gil's next shin-dig if you strike one up for Phoenix. I won't be missin' that one. Model on, Brothers of the Sprue.

ghodges Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 If I make it to Phoenix (and I plan to try) I will sponsor a couple of tables of something....the problem is, I don't know if I'll be able to bring anything myself, since I'll be flying! Still, I'll gladly pay to sponsor a display, and we can figure it out "what" a few months ahead of time. Once more, I want to thank all the guys who brought their models for my display this year. Those were models that would have NEVER been seen in Columbus without the display, and I think we can all agree that the more models there are to see, the happier everyone is! Cheers!

Still, I'll gladly pay to sponsor a display, and we can figure it out "what" a few months ahead of time. Make it Shermans. Between me and Jim Wechsler, We'll fuill at least two tables. Then you'll need at least three more for everyone else! Once more, I want to thank all the guys who brought their models for my display this year. Those were models that would have NEVER been seen in Columbus without the display, and I think we can all agree that the more models there are to see, the happier everyone is! Cheers! GIL I agree. I would love to bring another 150 models to display instead of entering them. Either way, we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
