It is coming up on that time of year again. March is and always has been the MMM build month. For me this has been the only kit I finished in some years.
So as a reminder and to allow folks to figure out what kit(s) they want to build during the month of March I am putting this up as a reminder. We have 21 days until the start of March so still plenty of time to pick out your build or obtain a kit that fits within the parameters.
The Micro Modeler Month is to showcase the builds of people that usually build the smaller scales and to get others out of their comfort zone to build a smaller scale quick build. It can also give us an excuse to try something different, either a subject, or to just build a kit "Out Of the Box".
For those that are new here (or recently rejoined) the rules are simple for this group build.
The build cannot start before 12:01 am on March 1st and needs to be finished by 12:59 pm on March 31. Photos with time stamps needed for start and finish photos on the build. You can do a placeholder post with the kit before the start date, but no building till start time.
Here are the categories for kit scales to build:
1. Armor builds must be 1/48 or smaller
2. Aircraft builds must be 1/72 or smaller
3. Automotive builds must be 1/32 or smaller
4. Ship builds must be 1/700 or smaller
Note that while you could build a 1/72nd scale B-36 and it would fit into the rules, it might be quite difficult to finish that large kit even if it fits into the "small scale". Also some small scale kits could be quite involved and thus require more time to build than what you might have available within the month.
So choose wisely.
Bob can set up the forum for the MMM builds, and there is already a ribbon created.
Hope everyone joins in and we have a great turnout for 2026.
