Introducing the 2025 "Shelf Queen" Group Build!

[Skyhook]

Ok, I am in..just dug up my Caproni Ca.42 from the beginning of this millennium. Scratchbuilt project; lacks the wheels, radiators, rudders, armament, finished paintwork, etc.  I started it long ago, but it was one of those models that was never completed and ultimately I more or less forgot about it. So this group build will come quite handy for me, as far the Caproni goes...hopefully all the way to the finish

Cheers, Skyhook

I will be in with the Bristol Scout C from this build. Sadly the 1 1/2 strutter met a violent end during the build

Some excellent choices there folks!

It's now the 15th folks... charge those glue bottle and sharpen those number 11 blades... we're off and away!

Cheers,

If I should finish my Nieuport in time, I mean in such a way that it makes sense to pick up that here again until time for this GB is up, then I would love to join in. I have a small diorama in my mind which is still in the back of my head since I had started this little armored car some years ago.

Best regards

Andreas

OK, the Eduard 1/72nd Nieuport 17's of mine have been languishing for years and years. I'll pitch in with at least one of those is that's ok.

Now HERE'S a question.....What if, just hear me out, what if we have a kit started by somebody else?!?!? HHmmmmm?

I just realized today that I couldn't live another day without a Hannover on the shelf. Evilbay has saved me yet again, problem is, it has been started by someone else, the cockpit is in, fuselage together.



I don't know if there is actually a category of builder that would build someone else's abandoned shelf queen. "Sick" comes to mind, "Pathetic" is another, I could go on....

[Brad Cancian]

Hi Allan - no rules against it; once it is in your stash then I would call it "your" shelf queen

[Dirigible-Al]

This actually happened to me! I bought a Hansa Brandenburg D.I old Eduard kit from Evilbay and to my suprise the PE interior had already been put together. It didn't put me off and I just continued to build it.

This was sent to me over ten years ago by a client/friend to build for his collection. Just now getting up the nerve!
