Groupbuild anyone ???

Count me in too - may 25th is just fine!

Jim

Hey Dan
Count me in. I just bought a 1/35 UH-60L Black Hawk. That date you set for starting is the perfect time for me to finish my LAV-25 TUA. I have never built a black hawk. are they fun to build? This is my first group build. But Defenetly count me in.
Thanks

As a Flemish (Dutch-speaking Belgian) I can say that Avus is right, the naam means stone mountains.

Well, we won't be too strict about starting dates, as I mentioned in my first post no deadlines, we all do this hobby for pleasure and relaxation (although sometimes...).

I think you are right. I actually decended from pure Kentucky Redneck alcoholics. I don't put too much faith in what my forefathers told me about my heritage.

May 25th sounds good, but due to my duties, at work and for modelling (Hind group build), I can let you know if I'm in only, let's say, around the 17th of May.
I'd like to stress that I'm really very interested in ths group build, but on the other hand I'm in a very busy period.

My real name is Travis Steenbergen. The last name Steenbergen is Dutch meaning "Stone Hills".

I would love to do a group build but I barely have enough time to complete my current Gemini Project. I work full time 10+ hours per day and I'm in school trying to complete my undergrad. Group builds sound fun but I need to get time on my side. Mybee in a month or two.

Thanks

Hi guys, glad to see the response so far.
I forgot to mention it but scale DOES NOT matter for this build.

And for the newbies ; a groupbuild is just kind of an agreement that several people are building the same subject (sometimes even same scale and manufacterer, but I won't go that far) at the same time, usually exact starting date and deadline are set. While building you post some kind of log about your progress, during this build I would like people to also post progress-pictures (if possible).

Anyway, try to get your friends interested in this groupbuild to make it a mass-build

Let's see so far :

DanCooper : yes (ofcourse)

Avus : maybe

copterguy : maybe

tsteenbergen : maybe (by the way how do you get such a Flemmish-sounding nick for an American ?)

adrake2: yes

Hey that makes only twice YES so far,

Would May 25 be OK for everybody for starting ???

I'm in. My MH-60L's interior is almost done, but I haven't worked on that in a few weeks since classes are starting to wrap up. I won't be able to work on it again until the second week of May at the earliest. I've been having touble posting my pictures here (not a computer / internet geek). I'm also in the Hind group build, but I'm just going to make a 1/72nd Italeri Mi-24 Hind E out of the box, piece of cake. The MH-60L, I've been scratchbuilding details for it, like a working refueling probe (not sure if I'm going to use it) and adding structure detail to the bulkheads and ceiling.
I would also be interested in an Apache group build, but I'm not sure if there are any aftermarket update sets to modernize the Imex AH-64D. I also need to finish my Blackhawk before I get started on a major Longbow Apache project.

Hi Gentz,
I too have gotten back into modeling recently. I have built several helocpters in the past. I built a Huey Hog, Blackhawk, Apache, Blue Thunder and a harrier jump jet.

I'm actually so new that I don't even know what a group build is. Could one of you please break down a group build for a newbie?

Thanks

Howdy,

Sounds like a great way to get some kits moving on my bench. I've Italeri's Pavehawk in 1/48 - does scale matter for this build?

I've also got Hasegawa'a Apache Longbow in 1/48 waiting to get started. Anyone interested in an Apache group build?

I need to get motivated on these kits - been a little sidetracked lately painting a box of 19 warhammer figures!

Jim

Sounds very interesting! I've a Pavehawk and a Blackhawk, both in 1/35, waiting.
The thing is I'm waiting for a PE set (ammo chutes) to continue the work on the helos.
I'm already in the Hind group-build, but if the start date is in 3 or 4 weeks I might do it.
