2015 Group Build - Halftracks & No Tracks

Post by Philipp Gross »

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 :lol:

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:

Gary Boxall: BM-21 Grad MRL 11/03/15 -
Rob Matthews: Airfix 1/48 Bedford MWD 13 / 03 / 2015 -

Well, no end date :?: I'm not sure this is really wise :lol:

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.

So there is a deadline then. I'm all confused :o Lets look at the last GB, how many folks finished in time?

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. :D :roll:
