Warning Orders! 12 Days of Christmas Challenge 2019-2020

Fortunately I am off this year during Christmas week (first time I am not working Christmas eve/day in about ten years), so yeah, count me in. I already have a model in mind. Although painting in winter could be a challenge, but what the heck.

I could get in on this.  In the midst of weekend madness I should be able to pull off a 12 day at the same time.  Waaaaaaay to early to decide on a kit yet.

you can pull someting out of the bottom of the stash that has been there for... well... forever or you can look around and get something just for the challenge.

I am not going to set a price limit or make a list of acceptable kits or anything like that. The aim is to build something that you can do in 12 days and factor in Kids, family, constant interruptions etc.

I have several kits in mind already, and some are in my stash. The wise choice would probably be to pull one of those out and reduce the stash by one, but seeing as over the past few weeks the stash has doubled in size with lots of Takom and RFM thingies arriving and there is more on the way.

In actual fact, I think that Das Werk's new Quad 30mm Flak Cannon could be a good one to do for a 12 day build. I do have that on order and it doesn't look too complex to build, but once painted up etc could be a real cracker of a small 1/35 that sits nice in the cabinet next to a large 128mm Pak 44.

Please remember you have 12 days but don't cite me in divorce procceedings. Family comes first!

Closer to the time I will start a thread for the challenge on here and you can post what you are going to build there along with a post to the thread once you start. It can be the central point and will be a good place for other members to come and see what is going on and jump to the various threads.

The aim is to have a bit of Christmas fun and I encourage everyone to have a bash!

Sounds like fun and I'll definitely be using something I have already which was the point of doing these builds, seeing as I've gone and bought three new kits for the GBs recently because my imagination has run away with any good sense I had.

This is good!

I forgot to mention that you may add any AM you see fit!

The real challenge is not completing a kit in 12 days, but choosing a kit that can be finished in 12 days.

Aircraft - Revell in 1/32 scale. Some of them tend not to be as detailed as others, although some of the newer revell releases could produce time issues if you decide to add AM stuff.

Armour etc

1/35 seems to be the main scale and I have found that artillery and anti-tank guns are the best to do in 12 days.

Trumpeter 1/35 Pak 44 done in 12 days for the previous challenge!

Ships and other scales. No Ideas. You're on your own there!!! but it is a challenge!

I haven't chosen mine as yet but I have a list already built up!

I'm in.
