Yet another 24 Hour build

Much like ACME the GPMG does a 24 Hours of Lemans build. This is our third consecutive year. My build is a Tamiya 962C with Studio 27 decals, Perry's Resin BBS wheels and corrected doors added. The box was opened at race start, 8 beers, 6 Red Bulls and 24 hours later results in this...

Re: Yet another 24 Hour build

Great finish! Dunno 'bout you guys, but it's a good thing our models were done before hour 21. Maybe we need more Red Bulls

This was ACME's first year; we talked about it long enough and decided to go for it after our initial plans for a Daytona 24 hour build fell through due to a schedule conflict. We're even entertaining a 12-hours of Sebring build event.

Re: Yet another 24 Hour build

Thanks for the compliments. Things certainly get a little silly around hour 12 but by hour 20 we're awful quiet because we're 1/2 asleep. We do a 12 hour build every spring, the level of stress is much higher for the that. Thanks again.

Re: Yet another 24 Hour build

Looks awesome. Nice to see another 24 hour build, even though it sure doesnt look like one.

Re: Yet another 24 Hour build

Nice!

I wish I could build like that after 8 beers and 6 Red Bulls. Was that alternating, done chaser style, or mixed?

Re: Yet another 24 Hour build

Beautiful. The livery is a stunner.
With these 24 hour builds turning out so well maybe we should consider building all our models like that?

Re: Yet another 24 Hour build

Great 24 hour build!

These builds are a fantastic way to spend the day, watching the race, building, drinking, and hanging out with friends.

Re: Yet another 24 Hour build

I have to agree. These are great fun, hanging out building with friends. I'm guaranteed to finish 2 models per year, our club 12 hour build and our Lemans 24 hour build! Sadly that is usually all that I complete.

Re: Yet another 24 Hour build

Great build guys! Maybe next year it should be a Can-Am build!!!
Above the border builds International drivers/cars and South of the border builds North American drivers/cars.

Re: Yet another 24 Hour build

Once again thanks for the compliments. Sadly the build quality between my 24 hour rush job and a regular build is very minor. At least I finished something is how I look at it. One less kit in the pile!
