Our November meeting saw the judging process for one of the club’s time honored traditions. We have a yearly competition called Build a B*tch, which is a collection of kits kindly donated by Mark Bujega from Sprue Finders (also a club member). As per name sake these kits are chosen for their flaws or perhaps the amount of work required to build them into something as the box art suggests.

Some club members (I am definitely not one of them) like to torture themselves challenge themselves and showcase their modeling skills to turn a really bad kit into something passable. All club members judge the winner and generally have a laugh about how crappy these kits are.

A sample of some of the kits that were submitted.

This year’s winner was Martin Reid for his Yak UT-1 by Mikro-Mir in 1/48.
