My workbench is all clear and I'm ready to star another car model. I was wondering if the GRM collective was interested in a build thread. I'll even let you pick the model!

Sure that could be cool. I haven't built one in years. But I do have a Chaparral 2E that I never started.

I vote for an F1 car Williams would be nice.

Yes! Make it the large scale McLaren MP4. I almost made a spur of the moment decision to order that one recently.

I have been slowly building up a collection of unbuilt BMW models.. just waiting for when it is too cold to go out to the garage to work on the real thing

I don't have any large scale stuff, I'm all 1/24 or 1/25th.

Let me rummage through the closet and come up with a list of candidates for y'all. We'll start with a box-stock something...

So played out, I already did it. I have an LS1-swap C3 Corvette. Finished it 2 years ago!

Scarab

Hmm, pretty even!

I'll do the Scarab since it's an older kit with less detail. It will make a better first model build tread, then we'll move into more complicated stuff.
