No injection allowed

So you just lost all the scratch builders there Pete.

Indeed. The first post does say "scratch built", hence me joining in.

So you just lost all the scratch builders there Pete.
3D models or figures are very often one piece as the tech allows this to be possible. Are they also a no no.

I think somewhere the rule are starting to get lost in it's basic form the rules are thus
Any kind of kit be it scratch built card metal card ect ect so long as it is not injection moulded
The point I was trying to get across with figures (stand alone that is) there must be some kind of assembly involved otherwise it couldn't be a kit.
As for dioramas ready made figures would be OK as it counts as part of the assembly process
I think its as simple as I could make it if the rules need any tinkering with let me know so we bash it out and make it more clear (waffling on again)

Forgive me Peter but the term scratchbuilt and kit seem to be mutually exclusive. For me, scratchbuilt means made from raw materials, and kit means something you buy , an assembly of pre- made parts.
I interpreted the brief as including both,as long as it wasn't injection moulded.

As my title says build anything that is not injection moulded.
A quick summary is build anything that could be scratch built vac form wood metal so long as it is not injection moulded.
Basically no injection moulded allowed you could even build card if you so wish
I propose a six month build because of the complexity of some of the kits starting at the beginning of October finishing at the end of April

If I may be so bold:
Build a model built from any material that is not an injection moulded kit. Wood, Card, resin kits are fine. just not injection moulded kits.
A figure can also be of any material (other than the aforementioned injected plastic). As long as some assembly is required.
Most diorama are other materials any way so no worries there. If you are planning a diorama if may contain a finished kit but the build thread must focus on the diorama only, the vehicle can be added at the end. (unless the composition demands otherwise).
For the record, Mini-art buildings are vacuum formed so are fine.
No rules without exceptions.
A resin tank could use a set of plastic tracks. Let's face it resin track links are far from perfect!
If for a wood kit has a few parts in injected plastic, so be it
As long as the majority of the kit is NOT injection moulded.

peterairfix Is this much what you meant to end with?

Interesting idea and very different, so count me in. I have a couple of resin kits in the stash I need an excuse to have a go at! And I even have a wooden bike somewhere! Plus I'm not committed to any other group builds at the moment.

Thank for raising the idea.

Vacform - check
3d print - check
Metal - check
Resin - check
Card - check
Hmm. I haven't got wood (ooh, matron! Sorry!)... Unless I get that HMS Surprise kit I've always wanted

Well, that's me sorted then
Except, you know the rest...

Count me in Peter. I have just spent the grand sum of £10.50 delivered for a 1/72 resin kit. Waiting for it to arrive. As I've never built a resin kit before and the price may be a reflection of the quality it could be it never reaches completion. But my attempt should provide a few laughs before I bin it :smiling:

Hope I'm not tempting fate - but I'm sure that I can find a suitable subject to give my 3D printers something to do!

&10.50?
For a resin kit?
In what universe can that even be a thing?

Have you fixed a start and finish date?

I need to find something to build lol
