As Christmas - in whatever form it finally takes - gets closer I have decided to change the challenge rules for this time to encompass dates etc. I hope that members will decide to join in and add to the fun.
For the 2020-2021 challenge this is what will happen
Timescale:
On the 19th December Members should post the subject and box(s) contents With a link in this thread.
Starting on the 20th December 2020 the build starts and will continue until the 21st January 2021.
Conditions:
Any kit
Any subject
Any scale
Any Aftermarket
Log your build on the forum in the relevant section.
If you decide that you can do more than one then please do so, but you should finish one build BEFORE starting another.
A photo of the finished kit to be posted on this thread. Just one build finished within the timescale qualifies as challenge completed and I hope that Sargeant will very kindly provide a suitable badge for the completed build.
If you wish to take part, post here please.
(this is a fun challenge and you should talk to SWMBO first as any relationship issues during this time is not our fault, but your own! :-))

Excellent work as usual, Sarge!
So,whats so special about a pandemic
Just sayin
Instead of 12 days you get...
20 December until 21 January (20-21)
and you open your post on the 19December (Covid-19) with what you are going to build along with the box contents etc.
Normally for the Christmas Challenge you would get 12 days (of Christmas). As we have had a very different year with the virus, America destroying itself, China putting an unwanted boot into Hong Kong with a large fist amongst other things then I think that some extended Crimble fun is warranted.
If you can't figure out the numbers then you need to start drinking more!!!
What do you mean by America destroying itself,I don't understand? Explain please.
Starting the pandemic special group build on 12/19 to correspond to COVID19 That sounds like fun
I think I'll pass on this one.
It is NOT a group build as there is NO particular subject it is open to all scales AND subjects.
It is a challenge which normally only is for the 12 days of Christmas and the aim is to choose a model and finish it in 12 days. You can still do this if you wish to.
For this year only I have chosen, as it has been such a different and difficult year for most of the world, to just move the goalposts a little.
Without getting into politics, I am referring to all the riots and civil unrest in America and also the farce of a presidential election which quite frankly was an embarrasment.
So, Tojo72, If you wish to join in but stick to the original rules of 12 days starting December 26th (25th is for family) feel free to do so. If you have noticed the badge his no reference to viruses etc.
That goes for everyone. If you wish to stick to the 12 days you can do. as the "official" length is 33 days then if those doing it stick to the 12 days then two builds are possible. A chance, maybe to get those small and quick builds out of the stash and make room for some more.
No,I have zero interest in taking part in this whatever your rules are.
You are the the one who bought in politics with your first observation and again with your last post.You make it sound as if the country is on the verge of destruction and the whole country is in flames,for being so bad here,there are an awful lot of people trying to get in to the country one way or another.
I'm out,before I hear from a moderator
As someone from the far west side of the pond, we will overcome the covid problem and other issues, just like people all over the world, and move on.
Been doing it since mankind has been around.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

A yummy Christmas Cinnamon Roll and hot Spiced Cider, hmmm. Do they make a model of these subjects?
Hey Modelcrazy, did you ever finish your Akagi? I'm deffinately sure it came out better than the one I built for someone.
modelcrazy I think I'll jump in this year.
Welcome on board. You've got time to prepare and decide if you are going to do a 12 day build on which the normal challenge runs or do the longer run. Either way, Have fun.

I believe that Bandai has something in the works.....
"...failure to do anything because someone else can do better makes us rather dull and lazy..."
Mortal as I am,I know that I am born for a day. But when I follow at my pleasure the serried multitude of the stars in their circular course, my feet no longer touch the Earth...
Sounds like fun, I could use the extra days, for it seems eveything I tried to do this year went into slow motion and can't get finished. I promised to finish the remodeling of our home office over Christmas. I started it an April.
I'm in the 30 day Challenge too with an artillery piece, but I haven't decided which one yet. Either British or American World War II vintage, I'm still looking.
I think that I am going to start with this:
and keep going....
I do have lots of "small" exterior etc 1/35 stuff which the longest bit is the painting. Lets see how far I can get!
It is only 10/11 days to starting.
Who else would like to join in with the crimble fun?
Maybe we should ask the mods to move this to the Group Build forum?
The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
This sounds interesting! Have to find something in the stash.
Never give up, never quit, never stop modelling.
ikar01Hey Modelcrazy, did you ever finish your Akagi? I'm deffinately sure it came out better than the one I built for someone.
No, still in drydock. I work a little on her every night. Hoping to get her completed for the Nat's
SD I was going to do the 12 day with an old Hase 1/72 M3 Lee. I night see if I can throw in another for the other challange but we'll see what Santa brings first.
Hi there Modelcrazy
You can do the 12 days or go for the longer one of both. Anything goes this Christmas.
Could be a good way of getting all those "small quick builds" out of the stash and make some room!
only a couple of days to the start, folks.
Come and join in with the fun.
I would join in,,,but it usually takes 12 days just to go through my stash to decide what I want to build....
Most of my friends are imaginary
Sell your watch, because time is money $$
The special has started. Those taking part have until 21 January 2021 to start, build nd finish something.... Anything you want!
Sorry about the delay, Things have been a bit frantic here, but the first one from me is done. I will post later!
Join in and have fun!

Well I was going to enter my 1/72 Hase Lee but I finished so quick I never listed it or started a thread. Here it is anyway.
