FIRST ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL MAD TIGER DAY 24 HOUR BUILD.
Looks like there's a good ammount of interest in this so I put in a little thought.....
1. Even if a sponser could be procured, it wouldn't be worth it for the logistics. These kits should be under $10 everywhere right? Every company makes one.
2. Has to be a Tiger I. Anything else is up to you; Travel treads without side skirts, blown up, factory fresh, camo 'til tuesday, whatever you please.
3. Has to be OOB. This just seems real cool to me. If you want to get creative, you have to use the sprues, undersides, whatever to create the effect.
4. Has to be all done in 24 hours. Open the box to submission in a 24 hour period. I think this will give some flexibility if needed but still be be under the gun.
August 8 is far enough away and during the summer late enough to not interfere with school or vacations and it's a Sunday as well. 24 hours will be in your timezone on that date. Think of a pic of an unopened box on top of the front page of your local paper dated August 8, 2004, cool huh?
Maybe FSM would be interested in doing a piece on it, or even judging the results, ie. most accurate, wildest, historically correct, best overall build, suggestions on this will help.
For those who don't have space for 1/72 amongst your 1/35. I was going to suggest everyone send their finish builds to Shermanfreak afterwards. Imagine his expression if a new Tiger showed up in his mailbox every day for a month!
This is one day! International! it won't interfere with other group builds.
Just do it.
Need input and a list of interested modelers.
