I am in with MIG 15 in 1/48. It is partially started, if that is OK. Cockpit and one wing are done.

I'm in,... 

 

 I've got one of those short run plastic kits, a Metaluna Mutant creature from This Island Earth.  Its like the one Atlantis is going to issue next year.  About 1/12th scale.

Please excuse the crudity of this model,... I didn't have time to build it to scale or paint it...

I'll chuck my hat in, James, I won't get any time off work for a while after Christmas, and my only time to do any modelling is the weekend.  So, it'll be something fairly simple from the stash (or see what arrives in the meantineSmile).

Vell, Zaphod's just zis guy, you know?

Thanks guys.

Now if I can remember who did the badges for previous years...

This is a nice bit of Crimble fun. Rather than a 12 day mad dash and with family and social commitments for all of us, it is better to have a more relaxed "Challenge".

If you feel up to it then those joining in have the option to do more than one build. This is a really good excuse to get going on something that has been buried in the stash for a while and clear a space for new stuff incoming.

If you have some small kits that won't take long then this is just the job to get them done and out of the way. The shelf filler projects that you have just the space for in the cabinet that something bigger just won't fit in!

Welcome to all joining in. Don't forget to declare intentions to SWMBO. I will not be cited in any divorce proceedings or missing persons searches!!

Remember that SWMBO's are cunning, not to be messed with and who knows where the bodies are hidden!

I think I'll do my Revell USS The Sullivans. It is such an old kit that it was made in West Germany!

I'm crazy, but I'm in. Gotta decide still. :)

Do not fret.  Everyone is waiting to see what they get from under the tree first.  Big Smile

I'll see what small simple kit, hopefully with a winter theme, I have in the stash.

A friend of mine starts a kit on New Year's Eve as a tradition.  I joined in but only ever finished ONE kit!  Fitting though it was a kit he gave me (Academy M3 Stuart).
