I joked with Buddy that I could finish a 1/350 Arizona in 48 hours a few years back, but a 1/72 U-boat just may be possable.

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

It's "possable".... but knowing me ... I would add a bunch of scratch-built stuff to it.

HA ! I thought about doing this one .....
But, there's no way I could get it to look right straight out of the box.
Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"

I found out I will have a house full of family over Thanksgiving and my schedule is now chocked full of honeydos and traveling. So, I am blocking out the weekend of 12/1 to do my build. Pending everyone is gone by then. This GB is great because its also my excuse to lock myself in the basement, not shower, watch nothing but war movies, and eat pork rinds and drink grape sodas.
Maybe calvin build a model with hobbs would be better
^^^^^^^^
like this one?
Never give up, never quit, never stop modelling.
I love it Buddy.
GA, variations of Calvin and Hobbes has been used throughout the years LOL, you have the idea. Too bad there was only one thread of a few weeks that adderssed him building a model plane.
Greg, I think Buddy had a badge a couple years back that used Calvin in that exact pose. Good one.
Alrighty then, looks like we have a badge! Thanks lostagain!
Steve, Little Timmy,
Don't tempt me to throw down the triple dog dare! For those who don't know what I'm talking about use your YouTubefu and YouTube triple dog dare from A Christmas Story.
Buddy- Those who say there are no stupid questions have never worked in customer service.
Sorry Lost, I knew you made the badge, I wrote Buddy by mistake
modelcrazyIt looks like we started something LT.
Yea... I'm good at getting people in to trouble.....
modelcrazyWe may just end up getting our tongues frozen to the flagpole.

The Force is strong with this one.
Guys,
I'm going to start this GB a little early. I know Caveman said he needed an earlier start and with my work schedule, right now it looks like my only opening will be starting on Sunday 18 November. So, if you want to get an early jump on the build this group build officially opens for business at 0001 18 November. May God have mercy on your souls.
Belay that last post. I'll open it up starting Friday 16 November.
This GB is officially open for business!
Good luck everyone!

I am SO tempted to build the Ha-Go this weekend, but I have too much to do before the upcoming holiday so I'm going to be patient and do it the weekend of Friday, 11/30....

You're good SprueOne, plenty of time left.
Front page is updated with Lostagain's magnificient badge. You will have to resize it.
Got the paint for the Mini build today. Going to do an homage to the Silk Cut Jaguars of the 1990's. White body with purple roof and fender flares. Still need to clean the garage.
Haha, easy for you to say.

Well, the mayhem has begun. Set up to start at Midnight.

And now 12 hours in and I don't have too much to show yet. I have used more filler on this truck kit then I have on my past dozen 48 scale jets. I think this was a standard F-150 kit and they added parts to make the Lightning so the add on parts are kind of half-assed. Even the instructions show the wrong parts at times. However things will go a little faster now that I got most of the warp out of the chassis and the body kit sort of fitting. I will post a little later in the day when I get some paint on things.

Wish me luck!
Looks like you're off to a good start Caveman-looking forward to progress pics and hopefully some tips on how to pull off a car build in 48 hrs.
Bob
Nice progress Caveman! Looks like you're off to a good start!
Caveman, Go for it!
Progress on the WWT Somua into painting base colors.
Okay, 18 hours in so far and my bench looks like a bomb went off. But I am making progress of sorts. Chassis is more or less together. Some of the warp is still there so if she sits on "all fours" I will be impressed. I tried to shim the rear axle but time will tell. Have a base coat on the chassis, bed liner and window trim in Semi gloss black. A grey base on the interior with a second grey to follow. Got some of the metal work on the engine and rims down too. Need to wait a bit for some things to dry before I proceed much further. I should get at least one more progress report in tonite.

Be back in a bit.
Keep going on that tank!
SprueOne Caveman, Go for it! Progress on the WWT Somua into painting base colors. Great start! I got a couple of those WWT in the stash from HL. Hope they get more! And I am stealing your corrugated cardboard paint stand idea. Can't wait to see it finished.

Caveman - "... so far and my bench looks like a bomb went off."
For this one, I'm not even at the bench. I've encroached into the family shared zone using chairs for tables and stuff on the floor.
I'd like to take this opportunity to give props to Mrs. Sprueone's patients, support, and understanding. This 48hr build would not be otherwise possible.
DasBeav, Thanks for checkin in. I dig those little kits too. I've also purchased a few and this is the first one that I'm building.
Haha yeah, cool. The frame is from a thrift store. Easy to make.
More updates later tonight...
You guys are making good headway!
