GB Feeler

[armornutii]

    This seemed like the most reasonable place to post this idea.
     I am wondering if there would be enough interest and participation on this forum to do a 1/16th Group Build?
     I am thinking currently of perhaps just the available Tiger I however maybe someone has a large kit languishing in the stash that a build could bring to light.
     No specifics yet just putting this out there, probably wouldn't start until sometime next year.
      Also be kniwn I have never successfully run a group build so IF I get this started I will need some thech help developing a badge and how to make it available to participants.
     So....any interest?

A big scale GB.....now that sounds fun!

[dupes]

Yep. IN!

I should probably expand on that a bit. IN, assuming it's over the fall/winter/early spring. After that I'm stuck back at work for four months, and hardly even see my bench, much less sit at it and be productive. I've got a 251 or Panzer I that I would love to get on sooner rather than later!

I would give it a go. Already stalled in two so what is one more?

[Mence]

If it has a two year timeline I'm in.

That big?!?!? I don't have any kits that big BUT I do have few resin figures in 1/16 that I'd like to paint so will that be counted too?

Me neither, Andy, but like you I do have quite a few figs, lol

No 1/16 for me, but I do have some 1/25 stuff I would consider...

[armornutii]

   Fear not guys, I'm working on how this can be most inclusive for everybody. Thinking pretty much of anything bigger than 1/35 armor, 1/35 aircraft OK, to figs, civilian cars and trucks please keep the input coming and I'll try to put it together. I can honestly say start date will be EARLY 2024.

Personally, I'd rather see it limited to 1/16 scale subjects. Otherwise what's the actual GB title/theme?

But run with what you want and see who you can pull in!

Hmm. I do have a 1/16th scale Rolls Royce and the 1/16 scale AMT thunderbird. 🤔

[armornutii]

    Okie dokie, let me gel this up a bit.
     I suppose the GB theme should be " Big Scale Group Build" BSGB?
    This will allow any thing bigger than the common scales we have available. 
     Cars, trucks, military, aircraft, Sci-Fi, Figures, scratch.... the only 1/35th I will allow will be the new Sword Dora rail gun. Squadron will be building one and I would welcome his WIP in this GB.
     For now let's see how much interest this garners and I'll work on formalizing things to start early 2024.

I have a 1/16 MRAP and a few figures in the stash.

Maybe “Bigger is the New Big GB”? 1/16 armor, 1/24 planes, 1/200 capital ships, etc? There seems to be more “Supersized” kits these days.

[41chevy]

I've got a Revell 1/16 dragster and a 1/16 Funnycar, Also have a few 1/8 Monogram Big Deuces and a Big T. They o.k.?

[armornutii]

   Absolutely 41 chevy.
   Real G, my thought exactly on ships, if someone wants to mortgage their home for a GB   . However if they have one laguishing in the stash and need a reason then this GB could be the catylist.
    I will probably post something " official" in the Group Build section tomorrow or early next week. 
    Sounds like this might be a good idea.
