Structure building challenge/contest? - nachoman - 02-02-2022
A few years ago we had a challenge for building an atlas signal tower kit. I found that quite fun. Anyone up for a similar challenge? Maybe build any Plasticville building? They are avalable in all scales, and have plenty of opportunity for improvement...

Sounds like a good idea.

Sounds interesting but I already have all the buildings I need. If detailing an existing "crude" building is acceptable, I will participate. A nice occasion to concentrate on something else than cars. Let’s go.

I still have mine. I'd have to see what guidelines we can come up with.
You're right... it was a lot of fun!!
RE: Structure building challenge/contest? - nachoman - 02-02-2022
Yeah, finishing a "started" structure...thats fun. I've been doing lots of that recently.

Building anything is fun..... Let's talk.

I Have a Walther's kit that I bought 2 years a ago: the Rivoli Theatre.
It's been sitting on the shelf partly assembled since then.
I think this will be a great opportunity to finally complete this project.
You can count me in
RE: Structure building challenge/contest? - nachoman - 02-04-2022
My motivation is because I feel like the current tiny layout I am working on could use one or two more structures, and I would welcome the motivation of a challenge/contest and excuse to be creative. I'm thinking build, kitbash or detail an already started kit structure. "Make the ordinary extraordinary" kind of thing.
RE: Structure building challenge/contest? - ezdays - 02-05-2022
I think Mikey is working on something. I'll be glad to enter, I don't have a kit that works, but either I'll get one or scratchbuild something.
RE: Structure building challenge/contest? - ngauger - 02-05-2022
I won't be joining in the challenge, so I guess I'll run it
How about a few ideas on when to start and end it?
The last one we did, we set for 3 months.
How about March 1st to June 30th?

That'll give me time to get something to do. How about a, "Kit, kitbash or scratchbuild, pick one" challenge?
RE: Structure building challenge/contest? - tompm - 02-06-2022
Mikey and Don your suggestions sound good!

I guess I won't be able to participate in this challenge because the kit is partially assembled and I already have installed lights and extra roof details
Maybe next time and good luck to you all
