I'll join.

Hey jetjag, where do you go to school? What's your major?

archangel571, what type of engineering do you do?

I think I would be up for joining the "middle weight" GB, as I fall into that category at 31. Know the feeling, I only touch my models on the weekends. Not sure exactly would get yanked out of the stash for the build, wouldn't be hard to choose. Heads or tails if it gets to that.

 

WIP:
Trying to get my hobby stuff sorted - just moved and still unpacking.

I say we go ahead with the build, otherwise we'll be known as the "Convenient Excuse Modelers" Wink [;)]

We should allow a single project to go into multiple group builds. I'm building a Gundam, and then something for a Star Wars GB so I should have plenty of things to enter.

Who else wants to do this?

Yea, I guess I haven't been thinking much about family since I'm still in school. Or maybe i am just in denial. Once I graduate in November, though, I'm sure all the time I usually spend building will be spent with the wife or at work. I feel a loooong break from modeling approaching. Man, it's depressing to have to get out into "the real world".


Ack, the real world blows. Even with this engineering job, I get all the money I need to get a sick amount of kits (reference to the thread i posted i general discussion), my daily exhausting commute puts me at a situation where i'd be looking at my models but found myself physically too tired to get focused and excited to build them. it's ironic that i wanted to get out of school so fast so i can have a better regulated daily schedule to spend more time models.

This idea's been proposed. There are enough of us in the "peak" of our lives here, but the truth of the matter is that the 'peak' carries peak responsibilities for all of us. Most people in this age group are busy with work, school, or family.

Fortunately, once you reach 35 all that ends and you can devote full time to modeling Wink [;)]


Then, after 40, you have to work in your modeling around visits to the Doctor Big Smile [:D].

I have seen the Young Guns GB, and the Old Guns GB, but that leaves an age range untouched: 19-34 yrs. I'm not trying to be a wise guy or a stickler, just curious as to why no one has started a GB for those of us in the middle?

I'm 22, and while I do not feel left out of the "age" GB's, some people might.
Is there a lack of members in this age group, or no interest, or just the simple fact that there are many, many GB's ongoing to keep us occupied?

--EDIT--
I think there has been enough interest for this one to start up. Look here for changes, I will try to post them as neccesary. You can email me (jetjag01@hotmail.com) or post here to tell me if you want in and what you'll be building.

You can build any scale, any subject. Multiple models? You got it! Put a few in that you're building for another GB if you want. You have to be age 19-35 or close to it. ( a few months don't matter). These rules may change, and they are by no means firm. If you have a question or idea, just ask.

I'll put the official start date at Jan 1, 2006.

So far I have these members joining:
