Jantrix Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 We've had several threads about the various bad kits that are out there and lets face it we all have at least one in our stash. How about a CBP based upon taking the proverbial sows ear and turning into a cool model? I have a AMT '67 GTO and a Revell IMSA Camaro that are spectacularly bad, and I've been itching to do something cool with them. Interested?? The rules would be as follows 1. Start January 1, 2013 and end December 31, 2013. 2. It's got to be based upon a really lousy kit, which as we know is open to opinion, but no one is gonna call you on it. If you say it's lousy, that's good enough for me. It's all for fun after all. And hey, rebuilding a really nasty glue-bomb would also fit the spirit of this CBP. 3. We may have a popular vote for the best build at the end. 4. That's about it. Anything goes. Any style, genre or scale. So who's in? Note: this thread is for gauging interest only. So don't go posting up pics of your planned build yet. If we have enough people interested, I'll close this thread and start another shortly before the new year.
A.R.C. Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 I like it! If I do this build and the Cannonball that would mean Ill have to finish at least 2 rides next year....thats a record!!
Agent G Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) I have one that will fit the bill. I'm in. G Edited December 20, 2012 by Agent G
Zarana-X Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 I'd be interested. I've got Revell and IMC Beetles that need rebuilding.
Jantrix Posted December 21, 2012 Author Posted December 21, 2012 I think we can all think of a few, and I think that's what will make this fun. We could get all sorts of builds.
Modelmartin Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 I have a Pyro Beetle Beach car started that needs some motivation to finish. I would love to post it here when I am done!
A.R.C. Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Were gonna end up with 2 dozen people building General Lee`s.
W-409 Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 I might jump in too. Don't know what I should build, but I know I have many bad kits on my shelf.
Pat Minarick Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Were gonna end up with 2 dozen people building General Lee`s. I do have a couple of those
Jantrix Posted December 21, 2012 Author Posted December 21, 2012 Well I think we have enough interest in this to make a go of it. I'll start up an official build thread before the first of the year. This should be fun.
Erik Smith Posted December 22, 2012 Posted December 22, 2012 Interesting idea. I am sure I could find an awful kit. If somebody can make this into something cool, I would vote for it: I get sick just looking at that kit.
Abell82 Posted December 22, 2012 Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) Interesting idea. I am sure I could find an awful kit. If somebody can make this into something cool, I would vote for it: I get sick just looking at that kit. That's my ALL TIME favorite kit! Seriously! I got a TON of them. Wait ...here I'll show you... Sorry these are old pics.. And yes I have MANY, MANY,MANY...MORE!! (Lost your lunch yet?!) BWAH, BWAH.. BWAH HAHHAHAHAH!!!! Ohhh ... one more (a project)... Oops thats two silly me! Mery Christmas!

MMMM it's like Jack Daniels and Deviled eggs isn't it? Yummmm!! Edited December 22, 2012 by Abell82
Pat Minarick Posted December 22, 2012 Posted December 22, 2012 I made a quick look at my strash ! 3 General Lees even a glow in the dark one. 2 Amt Daytona Chargers (not any better). America Graffiti 32. Fireball 500. Revell AAR Cuda' I'm sure one of them will work?
Jantrix Posted December 22, 2012 Author Posted December 22, 2012 Yeah those Camaros are not nearly accurately shaped, but I'd love to get my hands on a couple of those dual turbo'd engines.
Cool Hand Posted December 22, 2012 Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) Have picked out a couple kit's.Will post pics and details in the official thread/topic. 12 months is way too long for me to work on 1 build (generally I can complete a build within 1 to 2 months). So if its ok Rob, id like to build 2 Edited December 22, 2012 by Cool Hand
Jantrix Posted December 22, 2012 Author Posted December 22, 2012 Whatever trips your trigger Luke. I made it a year because work, weather, and our lives in general get in the way of building a lot of the time. Look at the Cannonball CBP. 20+ people signed on to start in Feb. but only seven people completed their model in 10 months. Since this is just for fun, an open time frame seemed the best idea.
W-409 Posted December 22, 2012 Posted December 22, 2012 I have one of those Monogram Camaros on the bench, too. The body just doesn't look right, but I think it can be turned into nice model. Haven't figured out yet, what should I build for this CBP. I'll look what I have on my stash.
Chuck Most Posted December 22, 2012 Posted December 22, 2012 I do have a few ideas, including something with that horrendous Lindberg '48 Lincoln...
rmvw guy Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 Count me in, I think I can do at least one.
hvymtl Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 MMMMM Jack and some deviled eggs bring it . i got the rest of the fixings for Lynchburg lemonade so i was really diggin those posts some nice work. i went thru a few dozen growing up also . have one to finish was looking good . and this one gives me an idea.... for this cbp. Michael Just rolling along the asphault drive
64SS350 Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 Sounds interesting!! Since someone is doing the Revell Beetle, I'll check my stash some more or I could definately get one of those glue bombs started!
