This is a build we've been running on the What If forums for the past 5 years. Its a really simple idea - you have 1 week to build a model. And its not as hard as it sounds! You just have to pick your subject wisely - clearly a DML uber-kit with PE and individual track links is a bad idea, but a 1/35 tank can easily be finished in a week as my finished Panzer II from last year shows



This is a great way to blow away the modelling doldrums, or a great cure for AMS. Most of all its fun, and it is far and away our most popular Group Build on the What If forums.

To give you an idea of what can be done in a week, check out last years finished builds thread http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,25177.0.html

1) Any subject, any scale - as long as it fits under the Armorama umbrella

2) You may build as many entries as you like (good luck!)

3) "Preparation" work is allowed prior to the start of the campaign - this includes the cutting out and cleaning up of parts, even printing your own decals (!), but anything involving paint or glue is not allowed. Likewise, part started models are not allowed - we are relying on the honour of our membership to uphold this.

4) The posting of in-progress pictures, including a "start" picture is encouraged as always.

5) 1 Week is actually slightly disingenuous, its actually 9 days, Saturday till the following Sunday so folks get 2 weekends in.

I haven't got a timeframe in mind, but we always go for a (northern hemisphere) summer to help people with spraying outside and pics.

Who's interested?

Sounds like fun, Neil. I'm in.

Chris

Its great fun Chris, but it seems like no-one here is particularly interested so I guess this one is a no-go

Hi Neil,

I'd be in for this too!

Thanks,
Philip.
