Well that sure can speed up the building process! Nicely done! Orange County IPMS had a similar build theme some years back "Weee, I'm a kid again!"- build a model like when you were a kid... no filling, sanding, sprue cutters, etc. Twist the parts off the sprues, use tube glue or liquid cement, and brush pint (or not) then add decals... None of that fancy grown up stuff we all do now  |

None of that fancy grown up stuff we all do now If/when we do a group build along these lines I will choose a much simpler kit. The gun wasn't bad but building that ICM truck with only a knife was a bit extreme. Many of the older kits from when most of us were kids would be much better choices. I have a couple of the old Aurora "Jolly Green Giant" kits so I may do one up OOB, with no tools other than a knife and limited hand painting and one with added detail using all modern methods, tools and skills.  |

I remember that Aurora Jolly Green Yeah, a simple older kit would be the best way to go in a GB with those guidelines... |
