Hi guys and gals!
I am active on a couple of forums including this one and a few years ago while recovering from battlefield injuries a member of a different forum challenged me to build a model over Christmas in 12 days from start to finish.
This became a regular thing with me and it's now called my 12 days of Christmas build.
This year I have decided to post the build on here too and if any other builders want to join in and do their own they are more than welcome. it's not a group build, though and there are few limitations.
The rules are:
you start at some point on December 25th and you have the 12 days of Christmas to do the build start to finish.
Any subject. it's open season, but I usually do 1/35 armour of some description so something that will be a good and honest challenge. Any add-ons and AM parts allowed.
Post progress in the usual place for the subject. There are no prizes or anything. It's a bit of Christmas fun.
It doesn't really matter if you go over the 12 day build time, but it shows that either you chose the wrong kit OR you didn't put enough effort in OR there's been too much disruption and drinking going on! :)
For those watching my 1/32 Zoukei-Mura K-45 Nick build in the aircraft section.... there will be some disruption!
So, come on! Drag those "Won't take long" kits out of the stash and join in!
This year, my build will be Trumpeter's 1/35 128mm K43 bzw.44 Kanone (Krupp) just out of the box with nothing else added apart from glue, paint and bad words!
