Hi All,
This is a weekend GB set for the weekend of November 29th and 30th. Essentially you have two days in which to construct and build the model of your choice.
I have participated in several of these weekend builds and the intent is to HAVE FUN and not to sweat the details. Just bang one out quickly like you did when you were a kid. ![Big Smile [:D]](/emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif)
A big thank you to Mark (mark983) for getting the ball rolling on this. If this GB is successful he will likely run another Weekend GB in the new year so if you can't participte in this one keep an eye out for that one.
Here are the rules:
Open to everyone
Any model type (armor, aircraft, ship, auto, fantasy, etc.)
Any scale
Out of the box or AM - your choice
Must be completely unstarted (sniffing the styrene is okay but no snipping parts off and cleaning them up - if you've previously snipped the parts off the sprue thats okay but as of now no touchy!)
must post pics at the start of the unbuilt model
must post pics of the finished model at the deadline - if you don't quite finish by the deadline you must still post pics of the currrent state of the model at the deadline.
post as many pics of the progress along the way as you can
Since everyone's schedule and responsibilities differ there is no official start time. However, the build will be limited to 48 hours, preferably over the Friday/Saturday/Sunday of November 28th to the 30th. So, if you start at 5:00pm on Friday you must finish by 5:00pm on Sunday. If you don't start until 11:00pm on Friday you have until 11:00pm on Sunday.
for those who want to participate but whose weekends don't fall on the traditional Sat-Sun you are welcome to participate on the days that you do have off (eg:Mon.-Tues) just keep to the same time frame and as close to the designated weekend that you can.Anything outside of the week before or after would not be encouraged.
HAVE FUN!!!
