With summer around the corner modelling usually tends to slow down a fair bit. To counteract, here's a humble suggestion for a small but hopefully fun group build. Full credits for this idea go to John, who suggested it numerous times.
Here's the idea:
Take a classic kit, build it as it is and be happy. It's that simple. No aftermarktet, just what you find in the box and scavenge from standard household materials; only things what would have been available 30 years ago. I suggest kits that were released not after 1985, but the exact year is, like anything else, still up for debate. It's all about going back to the roots, either retracing your personal first steps or the "dark ages" of the hobby itself, drybrushing included.
Overall running time would be 4-6 weeks, then it's back to modern times with armoured cars and towed guns.
After all, none of us spent several months building a single kit when we started, right? 
My suggested running time would be next Friday, May 20th, until July 1st, also a Friday.
A few people already voiced their support when I suggested this in private. If you're interested, if you hate it, if you know something much better, please voice your opinion. Of course, any other suggestion is, as always, greatly appreciated.
