Ok folks. Joe here with the official post to open the My First Time Group Build. This was all started by deattilio on Sept 3 as a feeler. There have been a number of folks who wondered if this build was still going to happen as several people have purchased kits for it and the last post from deatillio was on Oct 6. Bish and I have agreed to host this build together. If deatillio comes back online we will relenquish the control back to him as host. Any how that being said, Bish and I are going to stick to all of the original rules as deatillio had them.
Here are a list of the rules:
Air, armor, auto, trains, ships, sci-fi or figures all wanted – the fact we all started with some form of a model is all that matters
Acquire the first kit you ever built, original or reissue
Apply the masterful skills you’ve gained since that first kit
No after market resin
No after market photo etch
Scratch build details as desired
After market decals allowed
Post a photo of the kit pre-build
Explain when, where, why or how you got into the hobby with your kit
Post photos as you progress
As you build, look at the project at hand to appreciate how far your tastes and skills have progressed with glimpses at the modern kits sharing space on the bench
Set aside OCD and enjoy the build and what got you started in the hobby
Start date: 01 December 2012
End date: 01 June 2013
Let Bish and I know what you are set to build and Bish will get a list going here. Thanks everybody, Joe
AS OF 7 FEB 13 BISH AND I ARE EXTENDING THIS GROUP BUILD FOR A PERIOD OF TWO MONTHS. THE OFFICIAL END DATE IS NOW 01 AUG 13!!!
This is to accomodate those who could not attain kits until a much later date than the start date, for those that were in the process of moving and getting re-set up and due to the fact that December was a busy month with the holidays so not much building could take place. Now lets resume building!! LOL, Joe
