As above really. I've heard of group builds, but what exactly is a cook-up?
And what are the rules thereof?
M
Basiclly a 'Cook-up' as we call it is a particular project that say includes a certain type of aircraft,or from a certain period of aviation,or a subject that specifies a particular use,ie our recent Long distance flight cookup,it only takes two of us to start a cook-up and then there is no set limit on time,in fact it is ongoing,you will notice that there are several cookups still in progress where solid modellers build their very own model and along the way photograph the progress,there are no rules or prizes,it is done to learn from each other and in the spirit of participation.
I hope that explains in a nutshell what a cook-up is all about.

Cookups never expire or finish, so if you see one that hasn't been touched in years, it is still available to post models in.

I rather like this they never end approach,then you can work on something when you like and have no time worries.
Barry.
Sounds like a nice loose idea.
If I had time I'd join in with a Percival Gull or maybe the DH88. My American patron wants a DH88 Comet in 1/48th after the Dragon Rapide model. I guess Mildenhall to Melbourne (was it?) counts as long distance.
Martin
Yes they certainly do count,even your DH.89A Rapide has made some remarkable flights in its time.

Martin, please stop coming up with more things I want to build! Life's too short as it is to build all the plans I want to, and you come up with the Mew Gull which is another!
Wilf
My local chum who builds flying models is nearing the end of a long build on the Mew Gull, a six footer.
Nice. It's getting a lovely Saito four stroke.
There were several distinct versions, too, so lots of Percivalia possible there, Wilf!
Martin
I suppose you could also have a Cock-Up thread. Show your worst models ever and give reasons why they didn't work as models??
Cheers,
Martin
I have a few of those!!!!
LOu
Come on then, Lou, let's see 'em!!
Martin
Bigger projects get recycled.
Lou
They don't look like cock-ups to me, Lou!
Martin
They are trash. Some were wrongly sized drawings found on very repectable sites, others just did not work out.
Lou
I can spot a Savage,a Waco biplane,a tracker,6x Banshee's but what is the high wing twin balsa jobbie ?
Barry.
It's a Kokusai KI-59 that was started as part of a group scratchbuild on Yahoo. The site is inactive to my knowledge.

Yes that group struggled Lou,a great pity as the owner was very knowledgeable,I tried to support it but it just fizzled out ?
