Red Hot & Rollin' Automotive Group Build ---2023 Edition

[406 Silverado]

Now that we have an armor group build under way for June 1, I've been thinking really hard about how to cater to the automotive members of our forum. Some of you that are here may remember my Red Hot & Rollin' Group Build that I ran in 2015 over at FSM. It was a HUGE success and stretched out for two years which was a total shock for me. I figured, "meh" if it lasts 6 months I'll be happy. Little did I know that it would go on until 2017.

So....I figured I'd bring the group build here for nostalgia's sake and give 'er a go. Folks.....on June 1 there'll be another group build in addition to the Panther GB. The guidelines are:



It will run from 1 June 2023 until 2 Jan 2024.


You can enter models in any stage of completion, as long as they aren't past the 50% completed stage.

Crossovers are welcome to join.

Any scale, anything automotive but no military vehicles here please. Only civilian street and competition style vehicles please.

Aftermarket items are allowed. The sky is the limit!

Please share progress and pictures as you build.

No bleeding allowed!

You can enter at any time within the group build time frame

And finally as my most important rule/ guideline: Be social, encouraging and have fun!

Is that James May? That dude does some crazy things when it comes to modeling and just plain fun! His Spitfire 1:1 scale model is my favorite, and it's hard to top his LEGO house

Well the argument could be made that since this is now a privately owned piece it is no longer “military” so should be eligible.

Hello everyone,
I'm going to join to this GB with this kit that I've had in storage for a while...


www.scalemates.com/kits/tamiya-24354-ford-mustang-gt4--1282105

I'll make the car which was the winner of the 2018 Continental Tire Sportscar Championship's, held at the Road America track in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, on August 4, 2018

[406 Silverado]

Oh HECK yeah you did!!! Looking forward to seeing another one of these built up. These are fabulous kits!!!

[dupes]

I'm no car expert, but I do like to build them occasionally. I'm sure I can get something done before the end of the year. I'm in! Subject TBD. 😂

[keavdog]

Rod that Volt livery is awesome! Can't wait to see that paint. I have that kit in the stash so I'm very interested in your build.

This will be fun, I'm sure! You guys can help me pick something from my stash. I'm going to have a few questions that the car dudes can answer, I'm sure, about divisions in some contest categories (definitions of some things).

[Leon]

Count me in Joe!

1.) THAT……is gonna be a fun build to watch Mence!!!
2.) You’d better be wearing your “big boy pants “ tackling an early Salvinos kit brutha! I’m quite confident that your skills are up to the task but I’ve read a lot on those kits and they seem to give even the best modelers some fits.
