Airfix 1:72 RNLI Shannon Class Lifeboat Starter Set - GROUP BUILD

I'll be interested to see where you guys go with this GB - especially using only the stuff in the box.

My son goes to a school with an RNLI lifeboat station next door to it - they have a Shannon Class boat there, it's a great looking bit of kit. They certainly have fun launching it!

That is a really cool pic.
 
I love how you guys do GB. On the old site we just left had to have 10 people join before it was approved to go and a long out start date by then I was not interested in it and had a ton of stupid rules. Had to make a "GB Chat Thread " and if it got like you guys are doing joking and cutting up we got slapped on the hand and we're told by the mods keep on topic.

This is how we did it on the old Military Model site. Thanks for the memories of the good times building in a GB.

With those guidelines in place it kind of sucks the fun out of a GB.
We usually have an idea or two, pick a date, then launch the build, which is always open to others.
You are more than welcome to join this build, if you wish.

Have to agree with Gary, those rules really suck the fun out of it. It's a hobby, we have a laugh, if not then what's the point of doing it. Usually the only time I get a slap from my fellow modelers is if I leave out something pink (there is a great back story why). Pantherman

I think this is a great challenge to build strictly OOB and I'm looking forward to it.
I agree this is not our standard GB but it about the community doing something together.

I really appreciate the invite but I'm going to sit this one out. I'm still Shell Shocked a little from what went down over on the other site and I really don't have any interest to build anything right now. If you have another GB I wouldn't mine joining in. But I can sit on the sidelines and change your knife blades if need. Lol. Thanks guys.

Scalpel, sponge, suction. We're loosing him!

If you want to.

Thanks and I'll be looking forward to it. Unless it's something really crazy like doing a Brain surgery GB I'm in. I enjoy building any Subjects. I really appreciate it.
