Rum will follow results. That's the plan, and an  honest one too.This Razor guy needs a strong pistol man to enforce the rules. But that's a good cause, he thinks. Model hard and model well.

Chief armtwister Bondo here. Mister Razor wants to share the following:

1. Shoot Bondo on sight.

2. It's very important that you have fun. Which is defined as modeling your guts out really quickly, but really well. This is not a tea party, people.

3. Speaking of which, where are the women?

4. Never mind.

5. It's a pretty strict deal that you crawl home at + 48.00 hours.

6. It's even more important that you post at the onset, at the first bedtime and at the end. 

7. If you can find a GB with a higher rate of success than this one, I will fly out and buy your wife dinner.

8. Can't be done.

9. Bondo hints are: plan ahead. Lay out your challenges and your materials.

Sign over to you, Dave. Just had to remind the rabble.

People, Dave runs this like no other and it's a rum thing. Bottle of same to the first finisher, on me.

I would like a picture of the sprues at the start of the build.  The sprue picture is more for everyone to have an understanding of the complexity (or lack of it) of the kit you have chosen.  As for the date stamp or some sort of record of the date that you started to verify that it was unstarted that is optional.  It is easy enough to cheat if you really want to so I am not going to enforce any photographic verification of your unstarted kit.  There is no prize money here so I would hope everyone would be honest.

Okay, well if it doens't really matter, I will post them more to the start of the build. My camera is kinda going on the fritz and the other one that I have is... well... in all honesty, suckish, so if it's all the same, I'll post it when my camrera is back in working order.

Dave,

I would like to put myself under the minimum of pressure with an Academy 1/144 Panavia Tornado !

As for Frank's B-17 I think having to do four props and their hubs (no spinners on a B-17 ) would do the poor guy in.    Have we ever seen Frank even build a twin???

Thanks Dave for understanding!  I did build a twin a year or so ago for Wing_Nut's GB, even had TWO spinners on it!

I hear Frank is going to do a B-17G this year for it!

Dupes, that Avatar is scaring me man!!!

Am I really that scary? Does the bald head make me look evil?

Glad there's a date set for the build - happens to be my girlfriend's b-day weekend as well. SO, I'll either have to do a Thursday-Saturday build (or some variation on that) or talk her into joining the GB herself...

Aaron, thanks for checking in!  I know how busy you are right now.  As for Frank's

B-17 I think having to do four props and their hubs (no spinners on a B-17 ) would do the poor guy in.    Have we ever seen Frank even build a twin??? 

I'll never tell!

Crikey! the way I've been building lately (completing one build every 3 months), I'll be going just to get this one finished. I can see the hairdryer will get a good workout (hope I dont melt it!). If i do find myself ahead of schedule, I'm sure I can fill any available time with weathering.

Hi Dave

Count me in for this one (I accept your 24 hr challenge).

I have a Tamiya 1/48 Tiger I, hanging around that I have been wondering what to do with. This looks like the perfect opportunity to put it to good use.

However I do have an appointment on Sunday Afternoon, so will have to commence on Friday (hopefully at 10:00 am), and finish by Sunday Morning

Brett

They're a 1/35 scale, i'll post pics of the spure trees later

Heres the kit:
