Out of Comfort - Pick BFRD's Kit

Post by bfrd »

The writing appears to be on the wall for this year's group builds. In anticipation of the Out of Comfort GB here is what we are expecting.

I have placed 5 kits from my current stash in a poll. Each of the kits is one that I am reluctant to start for one reason or another.

Image
This is an older Tamiya kit that will require some careful masking and painting.

Image
This kit has received some notoriety for being difficult to build.

Image
This kit has a level of detail that probably surpasses my abilities.

Image
I have failed this kit once before. They are now very rare and I only have this one because I don't deserve my friends.

Image
It is just so big and has "perfect" in the name.


The poll will run until the start of this GB (assuming it wins one of the three spots for 2021). Whichever kit has the most votes is the kit I will build. In the event of a tie, I designate Scott @Twokidsnosleep to select.
