Auto racing GB March 2007-2008

Long time modeler, first time GB. I'm up for an auto. I've got a Williams, Lotus & F310 that need some love.

Thinking about this , and what the hell , might as well get as many auto sports models as I can lay my grubby hands on , ie F1 , rally , Le-mans , Gt What else is there ?

Can't have to many kits ,what don't make can always sit in may ever increaseing stash

Gentlemen,

 You cannot have my crown!!  My WIP? list hovers around 30 kits.  I use the question mark now because a good friend informs me that that is not PROGRESS.  The oldest one is the "Redneck Power" Billy Carter Chevy pickup truck that I started when Jimmy Carter was in office. (circa 1977)

Hey Shayne, nice to hear from you again! 

Aussie supercars...  We get some coverage of them over here and there's some quite stunning machines. Was actually wondering a while ago whether there's not something around for them. Can you fill me in a bit?

As for the topic - I'd agree with the suggestion. I've also just started a Le Mans car, which may be suitable for this GB. By starting I mean I've just cleaned it up a bit. That was *cough* 3 weeks ago I started! No I don't clean (the kits!) all that thoroughly! Still, you beat me to the crown of slow building with that effort!

As long as GB not limited to F1 or NASCAR , count me in have a rally car and a Le mans car here and HOLDEN t/k on it's way soon that can be made in to a Aussie supercar.Have

GB for a year or longer , one thing have noticed is people and new members will find build near end of build saying "wish I had found this earlier " and start showing their models so maybe open ended GB?

The other reason is I am probably the slowest builder here, sorry Seabee I'll have to take this crown (model on bench for last 2 1/2 years only 1/3 fin

Frogfoot, there's a snoozing F1 GB that's been running for a while now. It's towards the end of the page at this stage, might drop off front page during the day. We ran a WRC GB as well a year or so ago.

Think it's a good idea for Dustin to start a new race car GB, whatever the direction it goes in... Having said that, I don't have any Nascar models (not supplied over here) is it goes that way!

 MK,

 No prob I will I know it going to be a slow build but a build I hope

  Ok guys what I'll do is give it a little more thought and I will have a direction in a week or two. what I'd like to know is how many race car fans we have over here and that are willing to think about joining? And Seabee I wonder why they have never done this on F1m??talk about a good place to learn new things

Oops, obviously I read your thread on the auto forum first! So ignore my post there.

Except for the part to say I'll join when it's going! I'm in, just say what the criteria is and I'll get my lazy posterious parts going. And also, does just-started kits count? 

by no means am i an experienced GB leader i have only started two and they are both doing well.

all i did was pick a topic i thought alot of people would be intrested in , lay down a set of rules, times subject , what can be used and hoped people would be intrested.

if you want check out The Military Veterans GB and The In my Stash GB to get an idea of what i did.

and if you have a GB that takes off everyone is always willing to lend there thoughts and help in getting it started.

I know not a lot of info but if i can help with anything let me know.

Well I guess I was looking for this to be of a learning tool for some of us less accomplished builders. However we could try something like building you favorite Race Car ( Ford, Porsche , Honda????), Race Driver and or maybe a Race Team! Brand of model doesn't matter .

Also I would like to ask a more experienced builder and GB leader to help out and show me the ropes in a matter of speaking.  I really have NO idea how to do all fine tuning of a GB. This is just me testing the waters if it happens great if not I can try some time in the future. Thanks for viewing
