Community build duration times

Just wanted to put in my two cents. I'm not sure why most Comm. Blds.  choose to be ended on Dec.1.

I, for one, have more time in the winter, especially around the Christmas/New Year time period. I would love to see more end on Dec. 31 or Jan. 1

Good suggestion!

Here in Wisconsin and Northern Illinois we do them most in the winter. I have one here in Wisconsin every month, next weekend actually and a friend puts on build days at his house during the winter months........

Good point Karl. 

[Erik Smith]

Good point - but anybody can start and end one when they wish...

I don't build at all from about April-November - no time and too much else going on.

Well, I think that a cbp needs to start in the winter when we are all here,(or at least 1/2 of us)..talking about it,... and voting on finish of last years

And then it's, where ever you can fit in the time,..

Whenever it's fun .....Not watching tv is a real time saver

see ya 'gain next year?

Cheers

I never thought about it ,I build all year long. I started a Rat Rod CBP and changed the start to next week . Hope this wil help someone

I build all year long myself,  but if you can't get a build off done in 10 months, i struggle to see how another month is going to make much difference  ?  A couple of months is more than ample i think..

Me too!  That's why I do my annual Christmas Model Car Amnesty Build.  I usually have the last week of the year off from work. It's not enough time to start a new build and finish it, but it's enough time to finish some old long languishing project!  So each year I find a model that deserves to be finished, hunker down and finish it that week.  I've been doing this for 15 years.   Here's my album...  every year except for 2010 because I was in the middle of moving... http://public.fotki.com/ModelCitizen/model_cars/my_model_cars/my-finished-models/the-model-car-amnes/

There is a community build that has a FaceBook page,  Gary Kulchock hosts the annual 24 Hour Build.  He has a group get together at his home in West Virginia, and there are a few other groups around the country.  And then there are those of us who work from our homes and it's all communicated over the Internet all night long.  The build runs from noon on Saturday until noon on Sunday.  This year it's January 24-25, and this is the ninth annual!   https://www.facebook.com/groups/455951714469809/
