First draft to get things started. Details on dates etc. subject to slight change.
The rules are simple.
1) 48 hours from start to finish is the goal. Opening the kit to strategize and check for colors needed, etc. before your build starts is okay, but if you cut that first part off at 6pm Friday, it's supposed to be done by 6pm Sunday.
2) It doesn't have to be a Friday-through-Sunday weekend. Some of us have different schedules, so whatever 48 hours fits your "weekend" is okay.
3) Any subject ( within FSM's family-friendly guidelines ) in any scale you dare attempt for the time limit.
4) Post WIP pics while building as possible. I know the time limit can make this a little tricky. I tend to take care of this when I get to a point that I'm waiting for something to dry or just before getting a nap in.
5) As always, have fun!
In previous WMGBs, there was some flexibility on particular weekends because of Thanksgiving and so on. Given the late start, I figure it's a good idea to do so again. For now, how about we call the range as a weekend from 11/17 through the end of the year? If we have enough people with a particular weekend free, I may end up editing this and declaring a "main" weekend, but anything within the range will meet the terms. If there's a particular weekend or list of weekends good for you, please include them when "signing up" so we can add a main weekend if possible based on when we have the most people available.
The issue of the badge: I'm not computer-literate enough to get one set up one right away, so if anyone who signs up can help get one together before I can get some assistance in the RW, I'd definitely appreciate the help. The main thing that I'd say would be a must is a "Calvin" theme, since that has been the standard so far.
Finally, in case razordws comes back, I just want to say that I'm not trying to hijack his idea or anything like that. I've enjoyed the Weekend Madness over the past couple of years, as has my son and apparently some other folks here. All credit for starting this thing originally goes to him, and I'm just trying to keep the fun going until he comes back.
And here is this years badge ( thanks to Ninetails ) in tow convenient sizes...
