                        Is this build still on?

                        I will be out of town on the 12th (early Valentines celebration) but will be home on the 13th.

                        Ok, lets set the date for

                        Februrary the 12th(Saturday(.

                        24hrs to finish your Robot or get it done as far as possible, if the 12th is not possible for you you can also start earlier BUT must stick to the 24hr timeline.

                        FYI, my 1/35 Berserga kit should be here either tomorrow or the day after.
                        Already got a base secured for it(ready-made) from my Dio supplies.

                        How does Februrary the 12th work for your guys??

                        That way we won't disrupt your Valentines day proceedings.

                        Let me know.

                        I think I'll join in. I may build a robot in a large scale, or build something else robot-related. Any time is fine for me -- just let me know. Thanks.

                        No date has as yet been set for the GB.

                        So lets hear from the guys wanting to partake about when it would suit them.
                        My kit should be here by this weekend and I am good to go any weekend after that.

                        Ok, maybe lets get a list of names and dates going.

                        Is it possible to avoid a buld time between Feb 19 and Feb 21st? I'll be away for that time.

                        Yeah, those kits are scarce now but would be easer to do than the P2 in 24 hours. Done a few of the P2's and one or two P3's, still waiting for an Asimo but that might be a tad small.

                        I'm off to my local modelshop this Wednesday, if I can find anything suitable you can count me in especially as I am enjoying the ground assault GB. But to do something in 24 hrs, that'll be funBig Smile [:D]

                        I am awaiting a 1/35 Bersega. Just hope it arrives in time, would hate to have to dig a Resin kit out for this build(doable but not prefered).

                        Sounds like a good idea! But there's a week end Mad build already planned for end of Jan... And there's the Mad Matchbox Day in March.. What about sometimes in mid-Feb..?

                        Guys.

                        I am thinking the last weekend of January would be fun. You can start ealier but must stick to the 24hr period.

                        Glad to see some interest in it.

                        Better judgement is telling me to resist. I don;t know if I could devote 24hrs to this subject. I'd have to beg the wife and kids to leave me in the basement for the time.

                        But I do have a Robotech/Dougram kit I'd love to use for this. Depends on when the 'day' starts.

                        I wouldn't recommend the Billiken Kit either for it. You should be able to pick any old cheap Robot Kit from your LHS.

                        I'm in.
                        A robot in 24 hours?
                        Wow including paint and building and conversions and only 24 hours?

                        Thats going to be an all nighter.

                        Say when and where and do we do a group build logo for only 24 hours or do we get to add it to are sig for doing it?

                        Cool count me in.
