One Week GB - anyone up for one ?

3 April to 12 April inclusive. I'll keep reminding you all

An idea I've had after looking at my worktable is for a Scrapheap Build. Basically we pick up that damaged or unfinished model (or two) and work solely to get them done.
Models may have been started, glued together, need repainting or been badly damaged (shot down by cats etc!) and need some work to be show presentable.

Just an idea for the summer after we get this first one done.

Hi Nick

Good idea mate

In the memory bank. I already have one idea for a post 1 Week Build GB and this is a second

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, - say no more

Just over a month to go lads. Start digging the possibles out

Sounds good. I'll have to remember that date and find a victim. Might be a simple one as we'll be heading into motocross season then, and might be a wee bit busy with 1 to 1 scale projects !

It creeps up on yeh! The one I was contemplating looks like being too ambitious, so I might have to look at something else. Hmm....

Hi Chris

Create the Group Build in the Group Build section, post an entry in the Calendar with a link to the location and members can sign up and you can set the ground rules, etc.

Cheers

Right I've opened this up so that I don't forget latter in the month.

I will unlock the rest of the boards nearer the time.

I've decided I can build a whif from scratch in a week.

If by 'a week' you mean 7 x 24 hours within any given calendar year, yes I can do it!

Looking forward to the 1WGB. Got an idea, a basis kit, decals, donation parts, even a story...

4) "Preparation" work is allowed prior to the start of the GB....., but anything involving paint or glue is not allowed.
5) Part-started models are not allowed - we are relying on the honour of our membership to uphold this rule.

Now after the rules are here, do they prohibit the use of old, broken, unfinished and "dismembered"

etc. models?
I started filling a box with parts and remnants from old models - some of them are painted, some of them are still glued together, but I intended to use them in a new, different way, painted parts will be overpainted and so on.
Will this be against the rules?

Captain Canada · March 09, 2015, 07:14:36 AM

Hmmm....I do believe I have both a Beaufighter and a Mosquito that have been cut up for re-engining. Definitely no glue or painting done....could be an excuse to finish them off !

Just an observation: Cosford model show is on the 12th. Anyone going to the show and taking part in the GB should bear that in mind.

They could finish the models off on the stand, as an example of 'How it's Done' perhaps?

Well I found my kit yesterday

It's by Planet, in 1/72, of a B&V design and it's been looking at me from the stash for ages. The GB is a good excuse to build it
