SPA Modeler

Anybody here remember the “weekend madness” builds on FSM? Those were always fun. Build a kit, start to finish in 48 hours. No pre started kits. It had to be 100% unstarted from kickoff to completion.

ok, ok ,ok ... it looks like it is possible ... for others

No, I never heard of weekend madness at FSM - I have my own here

Perhaps we could do a SPAM Weekend Madness GB here… on FSM it was usually done in the fall when the nights get longer and the days get cool…

Whoa stick you just cut the time in half I think the weekend GB is more obtainable. Though I did do a sub and a dinosaur in a day so....

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
I finally connected the dots between 12 hour GB and 3 monthly zoom meetings and next update in May
This is what happens when you read posts from most recent to least...
Anyway, it's looking really good Carlos. Your other 12 hour builds look excellent. Can't believe that's just 12 hours of work. You guys must have great planning and organizational skills -- plus the mental discipline to stick wit the plan.

Thanks Chris! I can’t speak for the others, but I’m usually not much of a planner in model building, being more of a seat of the pants, take it as it comes, sort. But yes organizing everything before the build sessions is key. Can’t afford to lose time searching for a paint, glue, brush, or tool needed. Gotta have it all prepped and laid out ahead of time like a surgeon. It’s a yin to my usual yang of model building.

Those builts are really really superbs..

Thank you sir! I enjoyed each project.

Session 2 was today… hours 5, 6, 7, and 8. I finished paints up the interior, suspension items, etc. and got the top of the hull glued on, along with a few other small items… I also added some mud texture to the hull undersides and running gear









I just need to add the tracks and glue these last few items in place, then finish the camo, markings and weathering…
