BRBO 2020 ?

[Sam I Am]

Just wondered if there is going to be a BRBO for 2020.

[gotnitro?]

I'd participate again , really enjoyed watching all the builds come together 

I'd have to get my squirrels back from Tbill though ! 

 

[tbill]

I’d do it again...

 

squirells are packed and ready for shipment...

[landman]

I think I have one that would fit the bill.

I'm interested but build small scale trucks as in 1/87 and 1/160 scale trucks. 

So don't know if my small scale qualifies for this build off

[Oldmopars]

Can one model be used in 2 community builds? I have plans for a truck build for the Canonball Run, could I also use the same truck for the BRBO? Not sure I will have time this year for 2 full builds.

Ok, what's a BRBO again? Been awhile for me!!! LOL

I believe that is a Big Rig Build Off.

LOL, yup!! That's it... Just needed the ol' grey matter stirred up!! Thanks Howard!!!

I've had an idea for one but not sure I have the time to take control of a build off...

[Bennyg]

I’d love to just get something finished. I’ve only done one model this year.

I may be interested in signing on for a BRBO too. I have a rig I'd like to do although I am still searching for the kit I'd like. That, and I have joined the Cannonball build, again, plus I have 5 other models I'd like to work on/finish too. The rig would be for one of those 5 though.

Heck Kerry join up for some fun truck chat, and distractions from home life for a while  ! Theres a few squirrels trying to derail my current build but if the BRBO takes off again I'll have something to mess around with

I'm not the campaign manager for the BRBO, but would be cool seeing smaller scales included so more builders could enter !  1/160 now that' would require magnifying to build 

[BaBaBooey]

I think I've gotten enough supplies to build something if this build off gets going. Im pretty sure I've dine enough digging through pages and pages of things in the bench section to give it a go.

Yes changing model railroading scale to N scale aka 1/160 will be fun more detail painting than actual detailing but still a few details that can be ordered.

Plus I found a new source of n scale trucks hehehehehehe.

We'll see if i'll be allowed in to the BRBO. 

[gotnitro?]

I asked driptroit if he minded if I hosted the BRBO 2020 , and he welcomed it ! So it sounds like we have interest, so I'll start an official post and folks can enter there ! I'll ask one of the mods if they'll pin it , making the topic easier to find.

Cant wait to see what everyone plans to build, and enjoy the projects along the way ! See ya ll there 

Oh...yeah I'll definitely allow any scales , I'm dying to see the N scale trucks

I’ll have to sign up for one. Just not guaranteeing I’ll finish it. Have a few rigs I want to build! Bear, Bandit and Paul Cox’s K100... Also working on the rebirth of my Pete wrecker that’s been rebuilt 3 times and on its fourth!! 

I had an idea for a build theme and would like to put it out there as it would be a fun one. I think anyway...

Count me in then I'll at least start with a Diamond T COE with 40' skateboard.

Might even build a few others time permitting lol.

When's the start and end dates of the brbo.

As my truck won't be here until 1st or 2nd week of January then I can post pics once it's here.

[fivesuns]

My last big rig build was a personal disaster.  I need to redeem myself.  I also joined the cannonball, but I believe I can do both.  Count me in, just have to choose and buy another kit.

Do you want to build a snowman?

I've started talking to
The pictures on the walls!

HA!!!! Get that song out of your head now!!!! 

Ill come up with something!

[gotnitro?]

Thanks Kerry !! Believe me that song is permanently on loop in our house, but its fun  Or the ..There,'s a snake in my boot lol

I realized the cartoon nowadays are more educational than when I was young, at least the ones our daughter enjoys. We only had a mouse thumping a cat, and some tiny people that always had hypothermia that lived in a mushroom.

The official post is up !
