The Rules!

1)  Group Build runs from 1700 Friday 24 August to 2359 Monday 03 September (all times GMT).  I shall be checking for completed entries on the morning of the 4th September, and not looking too hard at times ;) (for our N America West coast types)

2)  Any subject, any scale - but must be a what if

3)  You may build as many entries as you like (good luck!)

4)  "Preparation" work is allowed prior to the start of the GB - this includes the cutting out and cleaning up of parts, even printing your own decals (!), but anything involving paint or glue is not allowed.  Likewise, part started models are not allowed - we are relying on the honour of our membership to uphold this.

5)  There will be a prize - whether you get it or not is another thing.  JHM is still waiting on the Royal Mail/Canada post to get last year 1:48 Skyray first prize to him.

6)  The posting of in-progress pictures is encouraged as always.

Any questions?

Hmm
Still be a week for me as I won't get back from the Nats till late Sunday.
Have to see if I am in a plastic building mood.
Maybe I can do my Secret Santa project and kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Question: Does the 1 week build have to be seperate from other GB's or Nationals builds?? OR can they be incorparated into more than one build theme??

Lance - yes, I am building a kit for the JASDF GB

Nils - I would have to say scratchbuilding parts should wait till we start.
