here's the rules . (with some added clarification from ######'n B in blue-from comments along the way) Read em over, and if everbody

is cool with em, start posting pics of your unbuilt kits, or whatever you're starting with on Friday, August 22

ground rules

so far this is what we have (if every one agrees)

objective: to build a car that could (or has) compete in a demolition derby type free for all race. armed with horse power and fire power the car will need to be able to destroy opponents it cant outrun? Curbside models are acceptable, if not preferred as it's all about external appearance

the vehicle: anything civilian of your own choice, hot rod, import, american muscle, car, truck, suv or econobox, unbuilt kit, gluebomb, or shelf sitter to start with. as long as it is not a military kit

scale: anything goes? (i would prefer a 1/24-1/25 scale to level the playing field but that is just me)

armour: home made or kit bashed, basically anything goes.

build time: we start on august 22 end by march 1 ? Official start in "on the workbench" on Aughust 22 to conincide with the opening of the movie, with posts of what we're starting with (seems like plenty of time to me but this is my first build of too so...)

records: i say we show WIP pics at every important step as well as one or two shots of the unstarted kit. i would also say we write a little biography of the car to explain the choice of car, armour and modifications (just so we can fully explain what we did to it)

hey guys why not use some of the same models ? just do differnt things to them . i think it would be cool if some of u guys use the same model to see what u can think of thats differnt from the other builds

i think i said the same in the general thread

personally i dont see why some people couldnt tackle the same kit

it would definatly be intresting to see how everyone makes it thier own

sorry must not have seen that

dont worry about it :unsure:

i was just mentioning it in passing by, doesnt matter

anyways, i just got my kit in the mail and it is awesome

i can see how people think it a shame to cut this one up for a custom build like this and even the wife thought i should get a cheap AMT to do it with so im not sure what to do now.

guess i have 2 more days to decide right ?

(its the revell special edition 68 charger that comes with the 440 and the hemi, awesome detail)
