[martinfan5]

Count me in, is it our pick for the car?

[kratvmnd]

Ooohh...I have the perfect car for that..the Revell Corvette C5R Endurance racer. Too bad it's been slightly started! Some of the roll cage and part of the engine has been painted.I'll take a pit penalty if I can join in with that...

[Greg Pugh]

Gosh, I can't get the body worked over in 24 hours.......

[weasel]

hmmmmm....

24 hrs huh...

[bigphoto]

I will be there several club members get together it is a hoot!

[Wildrice]

It has to be an unstarted build. Pick whatever u want to build. No snap kits. Body has to be painted. If you want to join email me a pick of what ur building, name and location and a link to where u will be posting update pics during the build. We start at noon eastern time on Sat Jan 28th and build til noon on Sun Jan 29th. I have 3 guy poss 5 coming to my house to build. Its a blast.

My 24hr Build 2012

[Rob McKee]

Count me in, I just have to decide what I want to build.

Off to the stash I go.

[Terry Sumner]

Sounds like a food dehydrator would be a necessity in this endeavor...and quick drying lacquer paints or two part catalyzed automotive paints!

[Rob McKee]

You sure don't want to use model master enamel.

[Wildrice]

I have two dehydrators that we use. Im using nail polish on my 24hr Build. Custom two tone.

If u are going in make sure you send me a pic of what ur building and all other info. I will pass it on so u can be listed on Gary Kulchock's Fotki site.

[Terry Sumner]

^{Do you guys literally build all night? I mean...no sleep?}

[Wildrice]

Yes Terry we build all night with no sleep. Just throw on some car movies and build. Time flies by.

[diymirage]

mhhh

very interesting

ill have to give it proper thought

[Wildrice]

Anyone going to join in on the fun? Its a blast.

Neither can I. My small brain just can't wrap around the concept of building a model in 24 hours. I might could do it in three eight hour shifts. I would like to give it a try just to see if I could do it. Does the model have to be fresh from the box with zero prep or is prep work allowed? I can't get all of the mold lines sanded off in 24 hours.

X3!!!

But I think it'd be fun to try...

[Terry Sumner]

I'm thinking seriously about it. Do you guys kind of stay online for 24 hours and post in-progress photos too?

[Rob McKee]

Alrighty then,

I am in with a Revell McDonald's Firebirde funny car. I maybe nuts to try and build this kit in 24 hours but it should be fun. Besides I picked this kit up yesterday for $10, so nothing to loose.

Of course this will be built box stock. Maybe I'll add wires to the engine.

I've always enjoyed these 24 hour build threads . . . great going, and I can't wait to see how it shapes up.

[heatride]

I can't even get the shrink rap off the box in 24 hours . That is pretty amazing , and I sure would like to

see some pics..

[BOSWELL891]

Im going to join this build since i got the perfect kit for it today. The model king Vintage Dirt Modified double kit, im going to be building one of the cars from the kit.
