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

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!

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.

Hey 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

Maybe we should ask the mods to move this to the Group Build forum?

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.

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.Embarrassed

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.

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.

 

I am also from the great Pacific Northwest and 100% agree, we will get through these difficult times and be stronger than ever. We are survivors no matter what the challenge - viral, political, economic or war we will get through this and move on. That is just who we are!

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

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.
