Once again it's almost november, which means it is almost melbourne cup day! And as is traditional, I shall great the race with a resounding 'meh!' and the day with an attempt to complete a whole model.
The rules are exactly as they have been for the past two challenges. To wit:

You can start work at 5:00pm on Monday 31st october, and the model must be done by 9:00am on Wednesday 2nd November - basically from knocking off time the day before cup day until you have to get back to work the day after.
You can build anything you want.
In the past, I have built a car, and a wargames building, while DF and Buzzbomb have produced planes. This year I am not sure what I will do just yet, but I think it might be wargames related again. You don't have to build a kit if you think you can kitbash fast enough, but, naturally, you must whiff whatever you build in some way. So you could build one of those absurdly quick Hobby Boss ww2 fighters and paint it in the livery of Arch Duke Zlod of Mongolostan if you want. Anyone who wishes to join in is most welcome, even if it means chucking a sicky because you live in some god forsaken spot which does not get the holiday (you poor fools!).
And since fancy fashionable hats are a Cup Day tradition, doing the whole thing in an awesome hat is the done thing - I shall be wearing a solar topee or a pork pie.
There are no good kits, bad kits or grail kits, just kitbash fodder.

OK, you may have yourself a contender!  :wacko:

I have worked out what I will be doing.
I will be building and painting a complete Warmachine battlegroup (not as insane as it sounds - a battlegroup is just a warcaster and his warjacks).
I shall be doing Karchev the Terrible, with a Berzerker Heavy Warjack and a plastic  Khador heavy 'jack kit - not sure which of the four 'jacks I will be doing it as yet. And they will be purple.
