Folks, I have been kicking around the idea of a Japanese themed group build.
Start date Sept 2011
Run time of six months
Japanese subjects from feudal samurai to the Second World War to modern
Cross-overs allowed
Pre-started kits fine as long as they’re under 50% completed
I’m thinking more of military subjects but if anyone wants to do an auto, anime figure, etc let me know we can discuss it.
Thanks!
Hi Gamera. I thought you were going with an Imperial Japanese Build? That would eliminate the anime, cars and other non-military kits.
I do suggest that you limit the GB to around 3-4, maybe 6 months. People tend to get lazy and others will put off starting due to the long time frame. You want a little bit of desperation out of your participants so that they will get on the ball and finish.
Tigerman,
Thanks, am re-editing my original post back to six months.
I’m leaning to military only but just thinking that if anyone should want to do something else we can talk about it.
Sorry if I’m a bit confused but this is the first time for me so I’m feeling my way forward. Any help or tips will be appreciated [proplr]
Count me in…not sure what I`m building…have a lot to choose from here…[::DD0]
aaargh!!! i’m a jap fan but actually nothing military on stash (all jap subject already finished [:'(])
actually only anime mechs
That`s no excuse…buy more Jap stuff.
out of money for hobby for now [bnghead]
Ahh man I just finished my J1N1.
Thanks for the interest guys!
Len: No need to decide on any specfic subject yet but are you leaning toward a Second World War subject or post war?
Bsyamato and Hercmech: I was aiming at a start date of Sept so if you guys are still interested you’ve got three months to get ready. [;)]
Well I do have a few other kits that I could do…but as slow as I build six months may be pushing it.
fuuuuu! till september i’m able to find sure something weird thing [:$] count on me
the great thing is that the start time was already signed on [8-|] need to replace my glasses … but i don’t use glasses [^o)]
Definately WWII,although I do have a few jet kits with JASDF decals.an f-104 and an f-15j. BUT…to me, they`re not Japanese planes. How would you handle that scenario?
Len: Hadn’t really thought about it but I suppose used by the Japanese would work better than limiting it to built by the Japanese. So a captured P-40 in Japanese colours would work as well.
I will be a definite maybe. I’ve got 5 birds in the stash. I want to finish my Zero to be sure I can build one. LOL
Thanks Tigerman!
Though I have to say with 1 comfirmed and three possibles I just don’t see the interest to go though with this. I’ll let this run over the weekend but I if I don’t see much more interest by Monday I’m going to call the whole thing off.
Sorry guys [:(]
Big-G…you know I would defenitely get in on this one…I ve got a couple of cool kits I can think of…might be a good excuse to pull that floatie thingie Pete out of the stash…

Definitely count me in with a “Val” (in stash) and perhaps a “Kate” to boot.
Did you advertise in the other forums? I`d really hate for this to crap out [:XX]
Big-Z & Reasoned: Thanks for your interest guys!
Troublemaker: Yes, one on the ships forum and one on the armour forum since I’m assuming they get the most traffic. Didn’t put anything up on the GB forum or the figure one since I assume most people who post there will look at the big three as well.
If I can get about ten people I’ll throw the GB up in Sept. and we’ll see where it goes from there. I’m not looking for any sort of commitment now just a general show of interest.
I am wondering if I should have waited rather than asking people for a show of hands three months before the thing kicks off.
