    A great idea and in a good cause too. I could go for a 1/48 Tamiya tank, I reckon I could sort that in 48 hours. Nothing in the stash covers it but cheap as chips to buy. :th:
    Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:

    Just to clarify, that is 48 hours work on the model, and not 48 hours as in two days, correct?
    On the table or recently completed:

    1/18 AV8-B Harrier - WIP
    1/35 Churchill AVRE with SBG Bridge Diorama - DONE
    75mm BMW R75 WW2 motorcycle with rider - DONE

    It's 48 hours start to finish so it ends on Sunday 22 March @ 19:30 Hrs.
    It is do-able. Last year I managed the Hasegawa Saab Draaken and finished with 15 minutes to spare
