Hello everyone!
Aaron and I are huge fans of fantasy and science fiction. What's more, figure models are something that we both enjoy building and finishing, and we're keen to explore some new techniques, so why not have you guys come along with us for the ride?
Here are the ground rules:
First, the model must be a figure and it must be recognizable as a fantasy or science-fiction hero or villain from TV, movies, or comic books. A figure of Gen. George S. Patton would not fit this group build. A figure of Iron Man would.
Second, the figures must be 1/16 scale (120mm) or larger for a human, humanoid robot, droid, or other creature. Though they are models and cool, gaming miniatures and busts will not be allowed.
Third, no semi-factory-finished or pre-finished models or toys. These have to be model figures you build and finish.
Lastly, nothing raunchy, hyper-sexual, uber-violent or gory, and absolutely no nudes. Basically, if you have to ask yourself, "Would this be OK?", it's probably not. However, if you have a question about the suitability of a particular model, send Aaron or me a personal message.
If we can get six of you interested in the build, I'll get a badge made and make the launch official. There are a lot of great kits out there now from a bunch of different companies, not to mention the older kits floating around in your stashes, so we shouldn't be hurting for subjects.
The group build will start on Oct. 1, 2013, and finish on March 31, 2014. Keeping the build compressed makes sure Aaron and I keep working, otherwise, we're likely to wait until the last two weeks to try to finish something. (See the World War I Aeroplane Group Build.)
To get things rolling, I'll build the Moebius Models 1/6 scale Conan the Barbarian: Death on the Black Coast resin model, and Aaron will enter with Halcyon's 1/6 scale Judge Dredd vinyl offering he scooped out of the Way-Back Machine.
The deadline for signing up for the group build is Dec. 31, 2013.
