Question:
What makes a any build a "show stopper"?
What makes a build "epic"?
Just some of the adjectives being bandied around about this build.
Thoughts?
:hmmm
I'm thinking maybe PBY also. The Monogram kit with the Belcher Bits conversion for Guba, a civil PBY-2, or else another PBY-2 operated by American Export Airlines.

The below is pure speculation and not even worth my $0.02...
Show stopper?
I guess it could mean a build, diorama, whatever that is so outside the norm that people gather around it and well stop the show.
Epic?
Well, Epic can mean something Dan Capuano, Bob or Lewis built, or a completely scratch-built model with full interior, etc that is painted and weathered to a very high if not the highest standard. I have little interest to build anything epic. I just like to putter around with projects that interest me, then move on to the next.
Just my thoughts, your mileage WILL vary.

Epic and/or show stopper are probably different for each person. I don't want to put words in his mouth, but I think what Bob was really getting at is that he wants to see as many people participate in this build and do something that is epic to the model builder, what ever that means. Maybe for some, its just finishing a build or maybe to others its something out side your comfort zone, or a conversion from a basic kit, or a fully scratch built model. The list goes on and on...
Just participate, have fun and celebrate this amazing place we all go to share our love of this hobby with others who feel the same.
:v

We have a winner! I couldn't have said it better myself.
Thank you Mike, I'm upping you to lifetime free subscription to the website.
Sorry I wasn't responsive at first, wanted to see other's thoughts on it and I'm in New Jersey this week starting a new project and we have 8 people on the crew so lot of cat herding going on. :frantic
I will refrain from the term "show stopper".
The forum is open.
Ten years, hard to believe.
Remember, this build will be at the best of your skills.
I've been saying i'm going to do the P47 but i'm having second thoughts. I got an Eindecker IV in the stash with all the bells and whistles. :hmmm
