Then I thought it would be cool to have a campaign to let those of us in this situation cash in on these half done projects that got away from us. Thus "Finish It!" was born into the light.
the concept/rules would be as follows:
1. Complete two or more unfinished models started for other campaigns. (basically you'd be trading in two "too late to get a ribbon" builds for one ribbon.
2. Your models must obey the rules of the campaign they were started for.
3. When you sign up, you must declare what you are going to finish and post pictures of the current state of those models.
4. Your excuses/reasons for not finishing the models for the other campaigns must be publicly stated for commiseration or ridicule.
5. All further work on the candidate models must cease until this campaign starts (hard to enforce I guess, given the nature of the campaign proposal, but it just sounds like a rule we aught to have).
The ribbon would look like a checkered flag I guess. I figure it would start in August or September and go for a standard 6 months (there are two builds, but they are already half built, right?)
If it turns out there are lots of people like me who want to finish old campaign builds that have been put on the back burner and would like some motivation to get those builds going again, then let's make it a campaign.
If there aren't as many as I suspect there are, then how about a long term group build? No ribbon, but a place where your build belongs even if it is too late for it's original home would be nice, no?
(but we all want a chance to catch a lost ribbon, don't we?
)What do you all think?
