Ok everyone give me some input on a starting date and how long you want the build to run. I think we will need a fairly long build time; I’m looking at 7 vehicles/aircraft with 3 being pretty heavily modified, for my two dioramas.
So don’t be shy, jump in and let me know. [:)]
Well, thought id bring this back to the top. Think we could start in Feb and finish around septermber?
Yes, good idea Rebel! Need to keep the momentum going!
Should be fine…I’ll get a late start, I have 2 other GB’s starting Feb 1st. [:)]
I do too. I plan on using a model from one of those builds for this one though. Is that ok with the rules?
That should be fine.
Ok, this GB is officially listed in the “Group Build Forum.” I will “sell” this GB around the forum as time permits. Please post there or email me if your plan to participate changes. I will keep the list up to date.
I think this is going to be a fun one.

i’ve been working on one it’s taking forever to build. i am using 2 tamiya tigers 1 ausf E’s at kursk but my idea keeps growing it’s getting crazy but fun to.i found the pictures in panzer colors 3 i could use some input. thank god for finding you guy’s [bow] i hope i can figure out how to put some of my dioramas pic in this thing.
i’m not going to participate, but i got an idea for someone who is. chose a ship from Battleship row. say the Nevada or the Arizona. the aft half of the ship can be how she looked at 6:59 AM, Dec.7, 1941, with the crew at attention and the brass band. the fore half of the ship could be how she looked one hour later.

That is a very good idea you put forth and I would encourage others esspecially you to participate. Whats there to lose. Come on, enjoy the fun. This is my first GB and am very much looking forward to. Since given the OK, all I do is research and plan(cleaning, grooming, working) will have to wait till Sept…I am LoneWolf and I approve this message[^]
well, i have the time and interest, but not the skills or the money. i’ve just got back into the hobby and am easing back in with simple kits like cars. up here a 1/350 battle ship runs for about $100. i’d want to make sure i had some practice first before spending that much. i’ve got another idea very similar to the sherman tank example, except using a civil war cannon.
I weould like to know how a group build works. The thought of doing one sounds very interesting. If someone will clue me in, I’d appreciate it.
A GB is when people from the forum build models that are somehow related. They start on a start date and end on an end date. In this case we are builing two dios, one before and one after, with any models we choose. thats basically a GB.
This is a very interesting idea to say the least …I have several ideas already just since I have started reading this thread.One idea I have would have the back-end of an old Ford Mustang rotting in the weeds with kids throwing rocks and putting graffiti on it , the front half would be fully restored and in a shop setting with someone taking pics of it.Anyhow,just a thought.I would like to join but I build about as fast as pondwater moves.
hey rebel reenactor in your sigline pic is that a navy arms '63 zouave i see? besides model railroading and scale models i’m also a hardcore gun nut and i’m getting into black powder.
