                        The GB has a pretty good margin of time until the due date. Hopefully he wil be back by then.

                        I would just continue plans for it as normal.

                        Huh, Why would someone be deleted, or need to be deleted just because of family reasons? Very strange if you ask me?.. If it is for family reasons, then you just say "hey guys, taking abreak for family reasons".. Must be more to it than that?

                        Anyways, probably none of my business...

                        Yeah, I read the other thread after posting in here. No matter what the reason he left, I hope all is well and that things work out for his family. If there's anything else that contributed to his leaving, that's none of my business.

                        Hopefully he shows before the GB starts, the wife and I were still looking for materials tonight for this build... Big Smile [:D]

                        I too thought it was odd in the way that he left. I didn't see the other post before he deleted it.

                        Clumsy, do want to head up this build? There will probably only be a handful of people jumping in, but I think it will be fun to just cut loose and build something silly.

                        Hmm, How about if someone else assisted me in leading this? My schedule is somewhat strange, and my job could require me to up and leave at a moment's notice. Anyone that wishes to assist me in heading this thing up, please leave a post and we'll figure it out through a vote of the participants on who should lead this thing. I, of course, am subject to being voted in as well. So, here's my post saying I'm interested in either leading or assisting this build.

                        I think we should try to stick as close to MM's guidelines as reasonably possible. Also, if MM comes back in some sort of "reincarnation" I would be happy to step down and let him take over again.

                        How does eveyone else feel about this?

                        It doesn't matter in the least who takes up the charge. There isn't that much really to do, except recieve photos towards the end. I think the group as a whole can get it sorted out.

                        I have ftp space if we don't want to use photobucket or the like.

                        Well, my only reservation is that I may be gone for up to half a year if I go up for retraining in my job, and I don't want to leave you guys high and dry without someone to help pick up where I may leave off. That's my only reservation, otherwise I'd be more than happy to figure out the fine details of the GB and anything else that may need to be done.

                        Alright folks, this is what I need from you all:

                        - Proper Group Build name
                        - Group Build Badge (Need the name first, then we can get a few concepts out there) Anyone can make one and we'll vote on the best Badge
                        - Length of time for the build, start would be at the end of the Ground Assault GB (June?) until ??? I need suggestions on how long everyone needs/wants for this build.

                        As for the name, I'll take the first poke. How about "MM's 'Hardcore' Walker GB"? Maybe I can get a pic of some blueprints and use that in the construction of the GB Badge? As for length of time for the build, I was contemplating 4 months, perhaps?

                        I need feedback folks, let's make this happen!

                        Ive already started on mine! I`ll have some pics soon.
                        MM said I could use this skinhead2 as the subject but, to be fair I think I`ll start another another one that fits the criteria.
                        The name is good!
                        I think that as soon as the next build should start as soon as the ground assault build is over!Big Smile [:D]

                        Would anyone have any qualms about making this a 6 month build, starting at the beginning of March and going until the end of August? This way if anyone's chomping at the bit to get started (I know I am!) they won't cool off too much and lose interest? The span of time would also make it easy to work on the GB if you have a small amount of spare time, or to take a break from other projects.

                        Questions, comments, concerms, ideas or gripes?

                        Thanks stipp for letting me know I'm on the right track. So, is anyone else interested in this build, or do I have to put it off and try again in 6 months?

                        Syko, good to have you on-board! Looks like the only people really pumped for this build are you, myself, and stipp. That may change, as some guidelines may be modified a bit. However, I need input from all the bystanders out there that would like to get on this build, but something's stopping them.

                        So, once again I thought I would help keep this thread on the front page like I did with another. I think a date six months starting from March would be OK. Shouldn't take too long to come up with a cool idea for something hardcore and maybe steampunkishBig Smile [:D]. I have a couple of ideas already that I'll be putting down on paper. I was thinking of doing a larger scale version of a Mechwarrior Clickie mech. I know it may hard, but I'll never know till I try, right. Talk to you all later.

                        Alright, let's set the start of the GB for 15 March. I need time to contact the admins and get us listed in a sticky, get all my information together to make a thread in the Group Build forum and start making a GB badge. If you two want to get cracking, then by all means start. End time will be 15 September. You guys think there's anything else that needs to be addressed, or shall I get rolling on this?

                        All right! So we've got this thing ready to go. I'll start working on something right away. Damn I'm going to be busy with all these builds. But, oh well. The more the merrier. Lots of practice is good I say. Can't wait to see what you all come up with.

                        Yeah, I already have a few ideas bouncing in my head. I think that with 6 months you should be able to get something built in the "background" of other builds, i.e. in your spare modeling time.

                        So far I've got the following participants:
                        Myself
                        The Syko Ward
                        gmsnow
                        stipp
                        Hatewall

                        These are the ones that are firm on participating on the build. If anyone else wants to join, let me know and I'll add you to the list.

                        10 designs hit the wastebasket today. At least I know what NOT to do so far. Hmmm. Thinking about working some ideas in sculpey or plasticene, I've been thinking better in 3 dimensions lately. Anyone have a design down and ready to build?

                        Kinda, but not quite. My design is eluding me at the moment. Also, I was thinking that the finished model can be built out of whatever materials you see fit. Anyone have a problem with this?
