Prehistoric animal group build, anyone?
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, February 2, 2004 3:19 PM
This forum can be a bit quiet, so I thought I'd suggest a group build for a popular modeling topic -- dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. Anyone interested?

It could be open ended -- styrene, resin or white metal, mammal, reptile, other vertebrates or even invertebrates. In a diorama or out. Large or small.

It might be best to set some limits though. No gaming miniatures, no fantasy (like dragons and so forth), although movie dinosaurs should be welcomed. No cavemen unless there's also some non-human critter! Smile [:)]

We would start and finish at a set time, say, March 15 to June 30. As we build, we could discuss and even post pictures.

Does this float anyone's boat? If there is enough interest, I'll ask the mods to sticy it. No use in doing so if there's not interest though. For an example of a group build, check out this thread, on the armor forum:

Happy modeling,

Sure, I'll go for it. Might might be a nice break from military subjects. I just need to figure out how to post pictures.

Airborne-All the way!

If I had one in my back log I'd pounce but I'mgetting a lot of unbuilt kits piling up. I bought a 2nd F15 without realising it. I'd take a raincheck though.

Same here as with Cassibill.

Got a backlog of kits and dio's I need to finish prior to the move in June, never mind packaging all the tools and kits for the move. As well as 2 group-builds that I am involved in.

OTOH, never managed to get a Dinosaur done so that it looks good.

Does a Godzilla Skeleton count?? I got one of those still lying around somewhere.

I am interested, but I don't know whether I'll have the time to do anything like that before that deadline...

This just might be the thing I need to finish a project for a co-workers daughter. She's into Dinos and I just bought some to put together into a dio for her. If we decide to go, let me know. And like someone else said, I'll have figure out how to get pictures loaded, but I'll also have to find some way to get the pictures.

The dates are just guidelines. The important thing about group builds is that they give you the motivation to actually build the thing.

As to colors, I think Osprey has something. Tongue [:P]

"ACTUAL PICTURES!" ROTFLMAO! GOOD ONE DON!

I don't have any dino kits . But i do have a couple of half finished Godzillas laying around! Do robotic diosaurs count? I also have an unfinshied Gojulas Giga [robotic Giigantosaurus or T-Rex] from the zoids line?Big Smile [:D]

I'd be ready to get into a group build like this anytime. I wanted to get in on a couple of the armor builds, but due to a lack of supplies, I won't be able to make any of the deadlines. Plus, those guys scare me, I never got into the aftermarket parts and it's just about impossible for me to build out of the box anymore. But dino's are a riot! How can you do anything really wrong? .......I could probably find a way.

Yes, the armor forum does tend to get a bit...shall we say...detail obsessive.LOL
It can be a bit daunting. Just ignore the "rivit counting" and have fun!
