Challenger Challenge

[Ian M]

Hello peeps!

Gern; it would seem that the tradition of box tops and sprues photo is still alive and kicking, so I would say put them on in the first post for your build

Scott, now I now that you have 3000 things to do before December 14, but I think April 18 is a bit soon. I was thinking more first of May just to keep it to an easy start date.

Right what do you lot say, shall we go with the first of May? do you all need more time? (I haven't even got mine yet, but its on is way). Also what do you all think is a reasonable duration for the build. Keep it short; 3 months or do you want a nice long one so you can give it the works, 6 months or some thing in between?

the longer the better for me, i really am weary on this one having never built armour before,i opened the box for a nosey and took a deep breath,looks very difficult..there will be a couple of firsts for me as i am planning on sticking it on a miniart base that i have which is a vac form kit...another big gulp of breath when i open that box.

Hi Andrew i think you'll do well don't worry nice and easy wins the race as they say also were all here should you need assistance, and if you really get stuck iam at rock ferry station don't hesitate to ask anything.

might just come and set up a table on the chester bound platform. wonder if there has ever been a model of a merseyrail train made, bet you have thought about it scott

[Ian M]

Well then unless some one comes and says otherwise:

Start the first of May ending last day in October.

Andrew, You will be in good hands. As we are building the same subject there will be others building the same kit as you so just ask away. As for the mini art base have you seen the demo video on there web site? It really is most informative. MiniArt: Plastic model kits, AFV, Historical miniatures & Figures, Building & Accessories click on the menu button "Assembly guide" at the left of the page.

I am willing to go for the 1st May if all agree, I have no idea on the time frame though but will fit in with the decision that is made, how about a two month build? Would that suit everyone?

Andy

[Guest]

I'd like to put my name down for this one too if that's OK

Any Challenger at 1/35, 6 month build time, is that right?

[Guest]

Ok May 1st, six month build. Suits me, start date confirmed then, I take it all pictures, starting with box and kit on spure will be on this thread?

Andy

[Guest]

Oh well if the plan is start 1st May finish by 1st November then you can count me in as well - I should be able to knock something out by then!

START THE 1st of MAY Six months to build in. Can be with or with out add ons, on its own or a base, simple or diorama.

There will be a new thread started for the builds before long. You can open your thread as soon as the forum is opened, post pictures or the box, the sprues and anything else you will be using in the build. (add ons can be shown at a later date if you are still waiting for them).

Any questions?

Have I missed any one off the list? 'cause I am confused as hell with all these Andrews and Andy's!!!!

Thats because your not called Andrew/Andy!

I remember at school at one point there were 5 of us in the class and of course its nothing to do with Prince Andrew being 1 year older than me I've always been Andrew and resisted being called "Andy" because in school "Andy" was one of the other "Andrews"

Don't think i'll get onto this one unfortunately, not even had the time to look for a challenger kit

Once the Ducati is completed theres a captured aircraft / vehicle GB going to start on escale and i've got another WHIF idea bouncing around waiting to be built that'll be perfect for that one
