Not sure if this has been done, but what about an anything but your normal build? Example would be, I personally build almost always fixed wing modern planes. So for the build, I would need to do a car or a ship or a figure. Something far removed from an F15E.
What thinkest you all???
ABYN (Anything But Your Normal)GB????

Re: ABYN (Anything But Your Normal)GB????
I like the concept
I would have to build a tank...Meng dozer or a Cat dozer perhaps
My build line up is well into the fall already though so I am pretty swamped

Re: ABYN (Anything But Your Normal)GB????
What if you build 4 wheel vehicles, aircraft, military ground equipment, and figures? ....
Wait, I got it, I will do something SCI-FI....
I am close to finishing up the 1/24 Airfix Harrier. The canopy is sealed, clear coated the bird, and applied the decals. Now seal the decals and clay wash, then seal it, and finally finish the small assembly. Then I can get serious on a sci-fi kit......

And with sci fi, you have a whole host of things you can do.
If there is enough interest...

Re: ABYN (Anything But Your Normal)GB????
LOL I tried the whole planning stuff out thing. Didnt work. Someone dragged me into some bomber thing and kits didnt cooperate etc etc. I wont be making the mistake of long term planning again by golly! LOL

Re: ABYN (Anything But Your Normal)GB????
Love the concept but since I tend to rotate what I build I think the only thing I've got in the stash that would qualify is a battleship and that scares the bejeebers out of me every time I lift the lid and quickly put it back!
Cheers, Neil

I guess I'd have to make a boat then.
Re: ABYN (Anything But Your Normal)GB????
Well, my idea of building something about space or sci-fi has hit a wall. I stole a kit from my wife of the Apollo moon landing only to see that half of it is missing and she does not know where its at
I'm looking for something like that to purchase and join the ABYN GB. I am in shock at the prices the Apollo lunar module models are getting. Not sure if I go there or look into something else.
