Lewbud,

I am in, don't know what with yet.

Can't miss the weekend!

Welcome aboard lostagain! Wouldn't be the same without you.

Weekend GB!!!!!!  WOOHOO!!!!

Count me in!!  Not sure what I'll do yet.  I'll check the srash tonight and let you know.

I'm in for at least one weekend, maybe two-always a fun time.

btw-are dry fitting and/or washing the plastic allowed?

Will advise on the first build once I sort thru the stash.

And thank you in advance.

Bob

After last year's "Dismal failure" of my Heller Caudron 714, I'm bound and determend to sucsseed this year !

I'm in. I will let you know what I come up with.

Eagle, bob, littletimmy,

Welcome aboard!  It's going to be a great build this year!

Count me in!  Wouldn't seem right to let this one pass me by.  I have had the kits picked out since last year.  Going to start with some wheels again.  Slot me in for a Revell 1999 F-150 Lightning pick-up.  I'll move on to some wings afterwards.

I thank you for hosting this build again.  It is a ton of fun to push your limits with this insane time constraint.  I formally ask your blessing in starting a week or two earlier.  With my commitments around Christmas I don't get to contribute as much as I would like.

To all those considering this build I invite you to give it a shot.  Don't be scared, we are all nice.  You will be surprised at what you can do in a short time.  If you still have and doubts, check out the past years threads.

Can't wait to start!

It's that time already?

Oh yeah, you know I'm in, plus I can knock out 2 GBs at one time.

How about a 1/72 Trumpy Challenger II. I'm not a tread head but I'm pretty sure I can knock it out in a weekend. I've done it before with time to spare.

I may do 2 builds to make up for the pathetic little F-5 I completed last year.

bump

OK Buddy.

I'm in.

The first of these I did at my Father-in-laws thanksgiving table.

I now live in his house, RIP the old man.

Usually I reach for an airplane, but I'm going to go another way.

Lindberg Nantucket Lightship.

Yes, yes, yessity, yes.

I'm in, I'll nominate a subject closer to the date.

Cheers

Tony

Looks like the usual suspects are here! Glad to see you guys. Steve, got you down for the Challenger II. G, got you down for the lightship.

Bob, dry fitting and washing the plastic are okay.

Littletimmy, it's in the past, you'll do okay.

Steve, I wouldn't sell your attempt short. It's not like you were having life changing surgery or anything.

Woo hoo,

Since I built a sailing ship and a submarine, which won a 1st place in a model contest within 48 hours, but could'nt build a stinking 1/72 simple airplane, I am going to try again with an airplane.

I got a Monogram 1/48 SBD specially for this GB.  I built this same kit when I was nine on my bedroom floor within a Saturday morning, so I should be able to build the same kit within 48 hours.  Hey, how hard can it be?

I wager you are a whole lot more detail orientated now, which could slow you down a tad. 

I'm in with the 1/72 Hobby Boss Hurricane MKII/Trop easy assembly kit if that's allowed. This will be my first group build so should be fun.

Now I'll have to learn to post pictures too.

Scottrc,

Welcome back!  A great choice for this build.

Daadyman,

Welcome aboard! This is a great way to start with group builds. A tip that will make your build easier. Drill out the holes that the mounting pins go into. It will help reduce the gap that needs to be filled and make your build a little easier.

Thanks for the tip, Lewbud. I'm using this as motivation to get my workshop cleaned up and ready to roll. That also means my wife and daughter get their exercise room. A real win-win.

Giving this one some serious thought!  Every time I do one of these I tell myself it’s the last one! Lol 

Got you on the roster Chad. Welcome back 

I'll give it a shot. Revell 1/48 P-51B. Missing a couple parts and no decals but maybe I can make something of it.

Yes, but back when I was nine, I had to build with Ambroids tube cement and Humbrol enamels.  I am now armed with fast drying liquid cement and acrylics .

And my first build had lots of detail, all those prints that got burned into the plastic from glue covered fingers was battle damage.

kg4kpg,

Welcome aboard! I look forward to your build.  Hopefully the missing pieces will be easily hidden. Finding decals should be about as hard as hitting water when falling out of a boat. You're on the roster.

Caveman,

I understand family and job constraints. If you need to start a little earlier, that's ok. Just don't get too far ahead of the class.

Thank you sir.  I only want to pull the trigger a week early.  Heck, it may inspire some people to give it a shot.

I will be doing my last PM "What if" kit I have.  I bought a bunch of these some years back and have been using them for the Weekend GB's.  This is the last I have.  It's the PM 1/72 Ho-229 A-1.  They go together pretty fast, it's the crazy camo scheme I need to come with.  LOL!
