Styrene Junkyard Gb

OK, bttb, count with me.  :salute:  

[HOG]

I thought about adding a rule like that, as it would be in true-blue whatiffer spirit, but I think that this GB should also be open to those folks who're JMN about certain subjects and butcher up several different kits of the same subject just to make one perfect model.

what does JMN mean?

what does JMN mean?

JMN = Joyless Modelling Nazi (or Nebbish or Numpty), a supposed "Expert" so obsessed with accuracy they miss all the fun of modelling.

How finished is it? Got a picture of the subject in question?

The two projects mostly done, is these two:




Maybe they are clearly beyond the allowed starting point, but I just wanted to check with you before I continue the work.

[gooberliberation]

Yeah, I'd say they're a bit too finished to qualify, but they're definitely the kind of builds I'm thinking about

edit: Tweaked the rules out a bit to clarify on the use of in-progress models.

[Joe C-P]

Would a whole hull from a ship model, but everything else from other models, count?

[gooberliberation]

Absolutely.

I remember someone (JHM?) linking to a similar GB on Starship Modeller several years ago.  Their variation was that everyone sent all their assorted junk parts to the mod, who sorted through them all, then posted a selection of bits to all the participants.  Any of the SSM guys like to further enlighten us?

[gooberliberation]

Would you be able to use plastic card stock and resin parts?  I've a slew of boxes of bits for various projects kicking about and want to use them.  

There's at least three projects that would fit into this category.

Yep

So admins, do ya think we've got enough participants to start an official GB?

[Brian da Basher]

I count eight interested folks so far. That's enough to get a GB off the ground. We've got the U.S.A.F. 60th Anniversary GB starting up July 4th and the 1 Week GB at the end of August and then the I Love Spats! GB starting Sept 1st. The calendar's a bit full but suggestions on the timeframe are welcome.

^^^^ This can be a beauty

As to the question of parts, howzabout posting a pic of the main components before we start ?

[illithid00]

Hmmm...how about the hull from an old battleship, bashed and upgraded to be a space faring battlecruiser?  

[bluntie]

Just had a brilliant idea!!!   so if theres room for one more count me in!

[bluntie]

I like that idea HOG, in fact i'll go first. test the water as it were...
so here is my project, AIRFIX BV 141+ITALERI Bf 110+DRAGON BD601
