discussion Challenger Challenge

[Ian M]

Well then unless some one comes and says otherwise:

Start the first of May ending last day in October.

Andrew, You will be in good hands. As we are building the same subject there will be others building the same kit as you so just ask away. As for the mini art base have you seen the demo video on there web site? It really is most informative. MiniArt: Plastic model kits, AFV, Historical miniatures & Figures, Building & Accessories click on the menu button "Assembly guide" at the left of the page.

I am willing to go for the 1st May if all agree, I have no idea on the time frame though but will fit in with the decision that is made, how about a two month build? Would that suit everyone?

I'd like to put my name down for this one too if that's OK

Any Challenger at 1/35, 6 month build time, is that right?

 

[Guest]

Ok May 1st, six month build. Suits me, start date confirmed then, I take it all pictures, starting with box and kit on spure will be on this thread?

START THE 1st of MAY Six months to build in. Can be with or with out add ons, on its own or a base, simple or diorama.

There will be a new thread started for the builds before long. You can open your thread as soon as the forum is opened, post pictures or the box, the sprues and anything else you will be using in the build. (add ons can be shown at a later date if you are still waiting for them).

Any questions?

Have I missed any one off the list? 'cause I am confused as hell with all these Andrews and Andy's!!!!

Thats because your not called Andrew/Andy!

I remember at school at one point there were 5 of us in the class and of course its nothing to do with Prince Andrew being 1 year older than me I've always been Andrew and resisted being called "Andy" because in school "Andy" was one of the other "Andrews"

Don't think i'll get onto this one unfortunately, not even had the time to look for a challenger kit

Once the Ducati is completed theres a captured aircraft / vehicle GB going to start on escale and i've got another WHIF idea bouncing around waiting to be built that'll be perfect for that one

 

[Ian M]

Never mind, Next time maybe.

John has them in the shop ;-)

 

[Guest]

Will get the Trumpeter photographed at the weekend and place it on here, but I will not start the build until May 1st, that way if anyone is looking to purchase one, they can at least see what is in the box :cheesygrin:

Good review

Armorama :: In-Box Review: Challenger 2 by Darren Baker

 

[Ian M]

Andy: the section is up in the SIG builds forum, You can start your thread already now with any pictures and links that you care to post. But as you said no building until the 1st. May.

Andygh: It was that very review that got me to chose that kit! Good in it!

Looks good, not sure which one I'll go for yet though, the KFOR job with the dozer blade looks quite nice

 

[Centurion3RTR]

Just seen this and i have Trumpeter Challenger 2 Enhanced Armour in my stash too, not going to build it just yet (haven't the room lol). But i'm going to keep an eye on this "SIG" though to see if anyone has problems so i know what to look out for.

Have fun, John

 

[Ian M]

If you change your mind John, feel free to jump in. I have done an in box review of the kit you have, at the start of my thread. I dont have the room either, but I will think of some thing. LOL
