Blitzbau XX *** Complete / Archived ***

Post by jssel »

Hi everyone. February is fast approaching and time to start thinking Blitzbau. Blitzbau XX will be co-anchored by myself and Fredk. So start thinking of your projects. Think I have mine selected. At least one of mine. :).

I love Blitzbau and really don't want to miss this one, but we'll be over in Greece and we don't have an internet connection. Would it be acceptable to track the build progress as it happens, but post at, say, lunchtime and evening?

Only if it involves the local bar Image
Best wishes

So you intend on blitzing but can only check in twice. Once at lunchtime and once in the evening? I don't see any particular issue here. Two 12's or a 24?

At any rate welcome aboard.

I have a subject in mind, and a kit of that subject, but I'm not sure how I'll find 24 free hours...

Uncovered a FROG Dehaviland Hornet in the stash. Might be a good start to Blitz. Plus a CBK to boot.

Lots of options so will see as it gets closer.

Nor do I. Just get an affidavit signed by the barman and countersigned by the waitress, or a letter from and signed by all your great-great-grandparents excusing you not checking in every 20 to 30 minutes

That'll be nice. I've never seen one built up. It'll be nice to see it and how it goes together.
