For those who don’t travel over to the Groupbuild forum much, we are trying to get another Old Guns Groupbuild together, for those 35 and over. Here is the thread. It starts in November. Mike, hope you can make it over to join up!

Ya just got me.
Well, we had the first one open to draw in more. For me, the year thing wouldn’t work because I do mainly WW2 ( I know, I need to expand) and I was born in '70
I joined with the L/70, I also only build WW II. Just let me know.
i think an open build would get more builders
It’s a long way off but when your old it goes by in the blink of an eye.
oh well I’m in [party]
Hey what about middle age group build. What are all the the 19-34 yr olds gonna do??? We need to recruit them as old gun apprentices before the young guns get them [:-,]
IBeam, I’ll add you in. Just let me know when you decided what to build.
I’ve got some good subjects Geoff! I just need to think a little on this, but I’m most likely game for the group build. I’ll check in a little later with a subject. Semper Fi, Mike
I certainaly qualify in age. LOL I’m probably going to drop out of 1-2 others I’m in and focus on finishing some other on-going projects, but if the date works out, I might throw something together.
I missed the first Old Guns GB so I think I will get in on this one. Not sure what to build though.
Since I easily meet the age requirement sign me up.[;)]
Think I’ll do something based on the 38(t) chassis…either Maquette’s Marder III or Aufklarungspanzer with 2cm gun.
The timing might work, I expect to busy during the summer, so by November, who knows what’s going on.
Love a challenge hey! Couple of tips
Learn the 3 t’s Test fit, Test Fit and then Test fit. No location marks and sloppy joins on these.
If you want a good article on updating the 140/1 see AFV Modeller #21. Not the Marquette kit, but just as relevant. If you want you can get a PDF copy of just that article from their website it costs only 1 pound (GBP):

…as usual, it takes the old guys 2 months to catch up with the Young Guns
Geoff- I truly appreciate the invite, but I am proud to say I do not yet meet your guidelines. See me in 3 years
Why is 35 considered old?
Yep! Between Jason and his cat, who do you think has the most babyfat? LOL. Semper Fi, Mike
Who do you THINK has more babyfat??
Well it IS 245 in dog years…
and what is the equivalent of that in LEMur years?[:)]
