Thanks for the tip, Lewbud. I’m using this as motivation to get my workshop cleaned up and ready to roll. That also means my wife and daughter get their exercise room. A real win-win.
Giving this one some serious thought! Every time I do one of these I tell myself it’s the last one! Lol
Got you on the roster Chad. Welcome back
I’ll give it a shot. Revell 1/48 P-51B. Missing a couple parts and no decals but maybe I can make something of it.
Yes, but back when I was nine, I had to build with Ambroids tube cement and Humbrol enamels. I am now armed with fast drying liquid cement and acrylics [:D].
And my first build had lots of detail, all those prints that got burned into the plastic from glue covered fingers was battle damage.

kg4kpg,
Welcome aboard! I look forward to your build. Hopefully the missing pieces will be easily hidden. Finding decals should be about as hard as hitting water when falling out of a boat. You’re on the roster.
Caveman,
I understand family and job constraints. If you need to start a little earlier, that’s ok. Just don’t get too far ahead of the class.
Thank you sir. I only want to pull the trigger a week early. Heck, it may inspire some people to give it a shot.
I will be doing my last PM “What if” kit I have. I bought a bunch of these some years back and have been using them for the Weekend GB’s. This is the last I have. It’s the PM 1/72 Ho-229 A-1. They go together pretty fast, it’s the crazy camo scheme I need to come with. [whstl] LOL!
I’m in, will look through my stash to find a good subject.
Eagle,
Got your build updated.
SD,
You’re on the roster. Welcome to the asylum.
I have to see what I have in the pile that I can use.
Ed,
You’re on the roster. Welcome to the madness!
This is really the only thing I can get built in the time alotted. Y’all have fun. Can’t wait to see the results.

Was a great GB last year. I had a good time. My Xmas shopping is 90% finished, so my weekends will be mostly open. I would like to try two.
HobbyCraft 1/48th Lavochin La-5 russian fighter.
AMT 1/48th Gloster Meteor.
Fotofrank,
C’mon now, you can do better than that! I got faith in you buddy! Pick something simple out of the stash and join us!
Dasbeav,
Added you to the roster. Welcome aboard!
In my fit of shameless hucksterism yesterday, I went back through the previous iterations of this build and learned a few things. There are model categories that have been severely underrepresented in this build. There have been no Civilian/Commercial aircraft built. There have been a couple of vignettes, but not dioramas which is understandable (a vignette is a slice of life while a diorama tells a story). There have been a couple of Sci-fi entries, but none recently. There have been no real space entries. Why do I bring this up? Two reasons. One is simply a suggestion for those looking for something different to do. The second was that I’ve never really stepped out of my comfort zone with this build. With the exception of a 1/700 Hobby Boss submarine (had like 10 parts and three were the stand), I’ve always built aircraft, it’s what I know. While I’m pretty sure a military plane will be built this year, maybe I’ll build an airliner, or a robot, or a spacecraft to boot. Less than a month to go!
Count me in Lew! I always enjoy some modeling madness around the holidays![proplr]
Not sure what I’ll be building yet…most likely a 1/72 aircraft, but possibly a 1/35 vehicle.[^o)]
Welcome aboard Ernest!
I’m in. Last year was fun. It will be along with the DC-3 build.
SteveCB,
Welcome to the madness! I’ll add you to the roster.
