DDC Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Howdy all, Was thinking today, I can't be the only one with a pile of half built kits, put aside for whatever reason. What about having a GB to finish off these neglected kits? It's probably been done in the past, so must be about time for another one. I know there are a stack of GBs happening at the moment, so I'd wait for a few of them to finish before we commence, but for now, I'm testing the waters. Only rule I think need apply is, the kit must already be started. What you all reckon? Denzil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liberator24 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Well, I am definitely a candidate for this group build..... I would do it.... -jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Old Blind Dog Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I put aside those half-built kits because each one in its own way is a PITA and had stopped being fun. No way I'd be interested in doing any of them "on deadline;" that's a sure recipe for misery. Sorry. cheers Old Blind Dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticWeapons Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 That would be the unofficial Slackers Group Build, being "run" by Animal. :wacko: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyboyf18 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hmmm, that's a lot of buildin', couldn't finish them all!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Ghost 531 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Ha! I did that on my own seven or eight years ago, I finished off about five orphans and now I'm pretty much one kit at a time. I only have one on the bench now and I'll work it to the point that I have to wait for something to dry before I can continue. At that point I feel it's okay to start another. /But - I don't see any problem with other people having multiple partly done kits. Heck, I think it's okay to never finish a kit at all if you don't want to. Just build the cockpit if that's your thing. Just open 'em up and smell the plastic and then put them back on the shelf, it's all good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) I have 6 of various stages going on and was thinking of starting an armor kit to break things up. I would be in! Edited April 19, 2011 by Spectre711 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobrahistorian Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Currently looking to finish my Spitfire IX, P-400, F-6B, A-36A and two P-47s. I'm in... as long as there's no deadline. Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Hemsley Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 That's the key, isn't it ... NO DEADLINE. Too bad a GB means a deadline. If we're talking strictly on the table (as opposed to started but fit back into the box and replaced in the stash), I've got a CF-5A, Mitchell and an H-21A on the go - all Canadian subjects, all 1/72 and all stalled!

DDC Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 Slack bunch :P The idea is not to pop out competition quality build, just get the stubborn things done. There'd need to be a deadline, otherwise we'll just put the things aside again! 6 Months sounds plenty enough time. PlasticWeapons, New to me, i'll check it out, cheers Denzil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticWeapons Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Yeah, the Slackers GB has a deadline. I think it was "whenever." :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eatthis Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 im in iv got far more unfinished than i have finished :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
texgal45 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I am not sure if I can do this or not. I have a couple of kits in the corner with so much dust and other crud on them that if I disturb them, the EPA will probably throw me in jail for poluting the atmosphere, the drinking water, the Moon and even Mars.

Patrick_Nevin Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Only rule I think need apply is, the kit must already be started. What you all reckon? Interested. This year I want to get to one model at a time, and much faster. There is a backlog to overcome :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PNW_Modeler Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Yeah, the Slackers GB has a deadline. I think it was "whenever." :) Duke Nukem Forever was in this GB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SoarinSukhoi Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Duke Nukem Forever was in this GB Duke Nukem Forever came out before this GB was finished, but we all know how DNF turned out... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick_Nevin Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Duke Nukem Forever came out before this GB was finished, but we all know how DNF turned out... The funniest thing about DNF was the jokey Zero Punctuation review announcing its' release - as if this would ever happen - followed by the real one two weeks later. That Yahtzee fellow has style. I have already agreed to finish two models before returning to work (9/1/12), so as soon as the sun is up will clean what appear to be two very clogged brushes, tidy the bench at get to it :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alvin5182 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Gents: I'm good for about 13-14 models that are about 80-90% finished. I was going to make it a New Years resolution to clear the decks, but this might help. Count me in! Will send photos to document if required. Alvin5182 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rm20886 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I would be down for this one. I have a few on the bench I could finish up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfgun33 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'd be in for this one as well. I have three kits in various stages that need to be finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
