Last blast, let's go out in a blaze of glory! Weekend Group Build the 2015 Edition.

Alright you bunch of rapscallions, the front page has been updated. Ajd350, scottrc, modelcrazy, BrandonK, and pyrman64 welcome to the madness!

Okay, I may live to regret this, but I picked one from my stash that I may be able to do if I have absolutely no problems.

Put me down for a 1/48 Trumpeter Mig-3 Late Version.

Ladies and gentlemen (and I use that term extremely loosely with some of you, you know who you are!), if it please the group, this build shall start on the auspicious day Friday 13 November......blah.....blah....blah....

Geezsh! Who you calling a "Gentlemen?" Why I've never been so insulted in my life! Despite that, I'm in with a 1/25 Lindberg 1997 Ford Crown Victoria.

Okay, I'm in, but build date will most likely be later in November or early Dec. as my schedule will permit. I'll update as we get closer. I have NO IDEA what I'll build. Nothing in the stash is gonna go in 48 hrs, I'm not Toshi, just not that fast. I'll look online and at the LHS and see if I can find something worthy.

Ladies and gentlemen (and I use that term extremely loosely with some of you, you know who you are!), if it please the group, this build shall start on the auspicious day Friday 13 November and conclude the following Sunday.  However, as stated in the rambling rant of the first post that passes sorrowfully for the rules, builders need not be constrained by the first weekend if their schedules don't allow it.  Simply pick a 48 hour period that works for you (after the official start date that is), and go for it.  For those of you who are undecided, and everyone knows you are because it's in the second post, you have approximately 28 days to come up with something spectacular.  Now for the really important stuff, the badge.  In keeping with tradition, it needs to be a Calvin and Hobbes themed badge.  Gentleman GMorrison has a sample in his latest post.  If that pleases everyone, slap the dates on that bad boy and call it done.  If there is/are someone/s else out there in the ether that wants to give it a shot, post it up and they'll fight it out in the Thunderdome. Good to see this thing coming together.

I have a Ho-229 by PM Model that doesnt have very many parts but I think the painting will make up for it.  I just have to get a good 48 hour window and I'm in!

I wana play. Lets see...I'll build....something from my stash.

This is always fun and a great way to get you out of a rut.  I'll have to see if I have something suitable.

I may be interested again.  Had fun last year. 

Lew, after busting my chops the past few years trying to crunch out a 1/48 aircraft in 48 hours, I'm going to take the easy way out and do a 1/48 Tamiya V-1. Less pieces than I have digits.

Builds I've done for this.

Possible badge:

i'm in, probably 1/72, maybe a helo

Hmm....I may be interested again. What dates are you considering?

Easy there Owl, this build hasn't started yet.  However, if you want make a practice run go right ahead.  With regards to the US Thanksgiving holiday, this build has a history of carrying several weeks past the start date.  If we start in mid-November, being that this is an international group, there is the possibility that someone might be building that weekend.  If you don't feel comfortable building that weekend, just pick an earlier weekend.  This build usually peters out after the third weekend, so Thanksgiving weekend would probably be the last weekend of the build anyways.  Assuming a mid November start, that is. 

Let's not pick the thanksgiving Day weekend (here in the US).

It's always too busy for me and I feel guilty crashing out a model while others are doing things around me.

Thanks Lew. Mid November sounds good to me.

I'm in-not sure what it will be, but this is always a good challange to complete a project....

greentracker and taxtp, welcome aboard!  Greentracker, the egg plane is more than welcome and has been done in the past.  Just not a P-47.  Tony, look forward to Chipmunk the sequel.

You beauty Lewbud. I've been a participant in this thing several times over the years and it's my favorite GB. I'm in. I'm thinking Airfix 1/72 DHC Chipmunk (yes, another one) for my build, but it may change between now and then.

Cheers

Tony

Thereis something I've never seen here. I think it would be fun to do an egg plane by Hasagawa. Could I do an Egg P-47?

Got you signed up Bondo, welcome aboard!
