I got a present in the mail yesterday. I was surprised at the box art on the lower half of the box. Those decals about gave me a coronary. I have never done that many on one project before; should be interesting. I am also going to attempt to light this bad boy, that should prove to be a nerve racking.

After my SWGB, I'll get rolling on this...

Right?

I can find a Christmas ornament of it, but no kit. I would be happy with a "Snap" kit.

I can find, and probably go with, the Revell JJ Enterprise, if I can find one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

I think I have everyone up on the roster so far. If I've missed anyone please let me know.

Modelcrazy I'm surprised no one has come out with a resin kit of the Vengeance yet. It's surprising that the JJ universe has not produced many models.

Mach71 I'm interested. I'll have to see how the schedule works, this is a busy year already. Please add me to the roster, I have to see what out there.

Thanks and RIP Spock, he was an inspiration for a lot of us.

I received the Mr. Spock and Kirk AMT kits yesterday!  So I will definitely be doing the Spock, but you know what.......I could just do all three (Spock, Kirk, and McCoy)!  Whistling

I have a few ideas, but, if I go 'starship' it'll be 1/1400 due to my space limitations Hmm

I think I'll be working on the Enterprise Bridge Set...

I'll be out of town this weekend. I'll commit to a kit next week.

Man, everyone is doing the vinyl figures!  I have Mr. Spock and Kirk that should arriving today, Dr. McCoy in my stash already, and I did Mr. Scott for the FSM GB.  You guys beat me to the finish line!  Wink

I said I wasn't going to do many GB's this year, but with this one in memory of Mr Spock...I'm in!

Not sure what yet.  I have some Enterprises I could pull, but just might join the masses and do the vinyl figure.

Thanks for launching this Mach71. And frankly GBs aren't too hard to run, I was a bit leery of it when I kicked off Japanese GB #1 but it's pretty easy. Just check in every day or so and keep on top of things and that's about it.

I don't have a Spock figure but do have one of the AMT vinyl kits in 1/6th scale of his good buddy and debating foe Doctor Leonard 'Bones' McCoy I'd like to enter.

Star Trek Group build
Posted by mach71 on Monday, March 2, 2015 10:05 AM

In memory of Leonard Nimoy
A GB dedicated to Star Trek

The rules:

- any scale ,and kit from Star Trek, or anything linked with the show (anyone want to try the 1932 Caddy from “A Piece Of The Action?)

-Props are welcome, as long as you build it. A DST phaser would not count unless you completely disassemble it and modify it in some way while putting it back together. A 23rd century pistol would be great.

-Any Star Trek, series or Movie. Yes even JJ Trek

- crossovers from other GB's welcome.

-start date  3 March 2015 until March 31 2016.

-Kits of less than 30% completed also welcome.

-Please post a photo of the box art, if there is any.

-WIP pix PLEASE.

-out of the box or as much extras as you like.

-must have FUN!!!

Lets use the Vulcan philosophy of IDIC in this build.
