G'day guys.

So, the next Group Build starts November 1st, Pacific Theater in WWII.

I shouldn't, but am considering entering with a 1:72 C-60A Lodestar or C-47 Dakota.

Anyone else got anything planned?

Thread 'Modellers Wanted! Group Build Invitation'

Hello Aircraft Modellers!

Many of you post your excellent projects under the Start to Finish section but did you know that we have been hosting Group Builds since 2009? We'd love to have more modellers join our GBs as it's a fun way to get more from our forum through discussions with folks with a common interest. So what's a Group Build?

Group Builds involve modellers of all experience levels who start projects with a common theme at the same time and finish within a 4 month timeline. The benefits of participating in a GB include increased support from the modelling community, learning...

Thread 'GBs 66 to 73 - Finalized Schedule'

Here is the final schedule for the next 8 projects as determined by the poll here: Group Builds 66 to 73 Official Poll 10 votes allowed
I've tried to mix up the size, era and mission types here. The way that I'm defining the builds are my opinion and certainly look forward to spirited debate! Zombie/Fav was always going to be first because of the short time to schedule this so everyone should have something already available. I ended with Home Country because this would be a fun end to the builds and let people really show themselves. I even managed to schedule in an...

To be clear; I start with projects that I want to build and suggest GBs to allow them. I then use my admin powers to tweek the parameters if needed. /sarcasm As I'm writing up the final schedule; I'm ordering kits and parts if I don't already have it. So yea, I know what I'm going to build. :D P-40B in Pearl Harbor markings to sit next to my Pearl Harbor Zero from GB59.
 
I have a shelf I refer to as the Bloody Shambles collection. Based on the Christopher Shores series. It just keeps growing and nothing ever seems to come off. I could try to put a dent in it.
Could I enter the Monogram P-36A that was going to be a Norwegian H-75A-6?
