It was suggested elsewhere ,so how about a weekend build? The idea is this start anytime on a future friday and try to finish by the next monday . We can determine an exact start date I think within a week or two and just go for it maybe a common kit theme may help to keep things from being too complicated. for example everyone builds a jeep or scout or meyers manx. the main goal is to get members to post some work and to finish something so try to keep it simple . for right now input would be appreciated . once some voices are heard we can set up a poll or something

Sounds good to me! We tried a few years ago on DRM, but it kinda fizzled out Agreed, keeping it simple is key I think...everyone builds the same current kit.

Jeff ,I I like the common kit idea however I would hate to have to go buy a daisy jeep if that were the "kit" selected .So ,I am just thinking out loud as this stuff comes to me, how about leaving it a specific make ? gives people some options but still narrows it down a little bit.

Sounds like it could be fun...might actually help to "recharge the batteries". I'd probably be game, depending on the time chosen, as I'll be switching over to 12hr days at work starting the 26th of Feb, including working every other Fri-Sat-Sun.

Well, I say Jeeps are out (even though I LOVE them) since there isn't one currently in production. Round 2 and Revell don't have many 4X4s currently in production, but quite a few pickups, vans, and of course the Manx That's not to say we can't MAKE any of them 4WD, but that gets into the whole time-consuming kitbashing/scratchbuilding thing we're trying to avoid with a quickie motivational/group bonding build. Sooo, what do we choose?

What about any 4x4 kit build, that way you might have a 4x4 sitting on your shelf that needs built. and you dont have to buy one. Its going to be hard to find 1 model that all of us have. Like on the other site i started a mini truck build, it covers all mini truck no matter what size (1/32-1/48-1/25-1/24-1/16-1/12). Some of us build trucks, some build jeeps, some of us build internationals. But one thing they have in common is there all 4x4 and some of us have a kit on the shelf and we dont have to spend the money to buy another kit. Just my 2 cents, but iam in as long as i have the kit thats picked. woohoo another build

I myself was kinda leaning towards jeeps figuring that we all have at least a dozen.but then again maybe i have just been buying models for so long I am out of touch.

Maybe the Revellogram 80's Bronco? Jeeps or any 4x4 would be ok too. Maybe we could get a list of possible subjects posted up with a poll? If we're all wanting/are trying to build something that we currently have in our stashes, one could vote no for the subjects that they don't have. Don't know if the polls allow for multiple votes from each individual person though if theres more than one vote needed for people . If there would end up being a kit/make or two that we all have, then there could be a final poll to vote on. Hope my rambling here makes sense, I'm pretty tired and the mind is shutting down....
