2015 Group Build - Halftracks & No Tracks
Welcome everyone to the 2nd official Plastic Armour group build!
After the feedback from the last build we decided to change a few things. In fact we'll probably keep changing things until everyone is happy
By popular demand, everyone will now have his own blog - same procedure as usual, but within the two special sub-forums:
4/6/8-wheeled vehicles
Halftracks
The start date is TODAY, March 11, 2015. You may enter with any suitable vehicle build until 6 months from now, which is September 11, 2015.
Now here's the big change: Since quite a lot of people didn't finish their builds in time, this time we will have no fixed end date. Of course we'd still like to see every build completed.
We'll keep a list of all entered builds here for handy reference:

Rob Matthews: Airfix 1/48 Bedford MWD 13 / 03 / 2015 -

Well, no end date I'm not sure this is really wise
I'll enter the wheeled vehicles GB but I still need to make my mind on which kit I'll build.

I can't promise to enter, I have to finish the HET before I start anything else. If I do I might do a Stalwart or Saracen.

6 wheels for me, please!
I think it was Paul Adamson who built one of these back on the MA site. He thought it was a pretty good kit. The sprues look good so far.
I'll plan to start cutting plastic on my next road trip in about 3 days.

Re: 2015 Group Build - Halftracks & No Tracks
So there is a deadline then. I'm all confused Lets look at the last GB, how many folks finished in time?Gary Boxall wrote:Those who finish in under 6 months will get a campaign silhouette for their signatureOlivier Carneau wrote:Well, no end date I'm not sure this is really wise .

Nothing changed from the first GB because folks are still completing their builds there. It not like that tread has been locked and I don't think it should be. Most of us mere mortals can't do a build in 6 months.
