Group build

I'm some of you will remember a while back we did a group build, I don't think it was as successful as it could have been, but it was fun, anyway there are a lot more active members now and I thought it might be a good time to see if anyone is interested in doing another?

I will do a poll in this thread to see how many are interested, if it looks like it's worth it I will talk to some model shops and try and get a deal on kits to save us money.

We can decided what model we are going to do at a later date all I need now is numbers interested.

Remember this won't be a race to see who can finish first or to see who is the best it's more helping out others sharing your techniques and problems you may run in to.

I am not sure if I understand. Are we all trying to build something for a massive final project? Or just each of us build the same kit at the same time for kicks?

each build the same model (or a model within a certain subject) within a specified time frame.

eg: for my wild weasel gb on the ARC you can build any wild weasel/iron hand aircraft or any aircraft that has/is used for anti-air suppression in any scale, from any make.

people are making F-4Gs, F/A-18s, EA-6Bs A-6s, F-4Fs, F-105s...etc

but i think John would want to narrow the chritirea a bit. eg: ww2 nightfighters in 1/72 or something

That's not a bad idea! Although I have no idea what you could have as the massive project?

You could really build anything where there's a lot of detail. An airfield scene.. A carrier air wing perhaps? A used car lot. Or maybe a bunch of race cars to go on a scale track section... Model railroad clubs do these sorts of things all the time when they're building towns and layouts and such.
