Welcome to the Automotive Group Build, the group build is open to all cars, trucks and motorcycles from daily drivers to exotic super cars.
The build will begin on November 11, 2010; the day Route 66 was established in 1926. It will end on June 10, 2011 Nicolaus Otto’s 179th birthday (he invented the first practical 4 stroke engine in 1876).
The rules are simple, pick an acceptable subject, have fun and show your work (post photos of your progress). The sharing of techniques, review of the kit, history of your subject etc is encouraged.
The list of potential subjects is long: passenger cars, sports cars, race cars, motorcycles, pick up trucks, vans, commercial vehicles, police cars, fire engines, ambulances, monster trucks…
One off custom vehicles, movie cars and fictional vehicles are fine; this includes odd kits like Hawk’s Wierdos (as long as they are driving a car or motorcycle).
Civilian vehicles used by the military (staff cars, CUCV, Dodge M880 etc) or military vehicles converted to non-military uses will also be considered.
You may build out of box or use all the scratchbuilt or aftermarket parts you desire (or can afford).
Dioramas are welcome if they feature an acceptable subject.
Started kits are ok as long as there is a significant amount of work required to finish it.
To join the build make a post with your planned entry, please include the kit maker, scale and subject so I can update the roster.
That is about it, I’ve designed this nifty badge for the GB which you may claim once you have posted photographic evidence of the glue hitting the plastic (please save it to your own photo hosting site). Failure to finish your model by June will result in flying monkeys removing the badge from your profile and eating all of your bananas.
