Scale Where's the builds?

After your above post, maybe we need another button, the love button, like just does not say enough.
I have a neighbor that just finished a T-Bucket from nearly 100% scratch. Talk about craftsmanship, watching him hammer out the body work from a sheet of steel was amazing.
My last comment on the build subject and I'll leave it up to you guys. If I am looking to improve upon my low skills I like to go to build threads, if I am looking for the latest in equipment I go to ARF's and/or 3D threads.

@Bartman, . I plan on doing a 50% or larger, absolute scale, build of the Bulldog II at that time.

I can't wait to follow that.

If you can find it. LOL!!!

I am contemplating methods in which I want to go. If I go a kit it will have to be heavily modified which makes for a lot of waste. Going scratch makes more sense but that's a lot of wood. What I would really like to do is take the set of full scale plans and do a 1/2 scale full scale tube built. It will be several months before I get to it so plenty of time for contemplation.

My comments on classic pattern forums was vague out of respect for the site owner here. Those forums are on other websites but per Bartman's request I'm not going to post a link to the competition.

You can pm me for details if you want.

It would be funny to know of all that voted and all that have replied, whom are builders and whom are assemblers. I lay odds not one builder wants them together. But that is just my opinion.
To me ARF's are everywhere but builds are far and few between.

I think it would be an easy thing to accomplish, add build to all prefix's and an automatic link to the build forum. As it currently stands there is not even a build prefix in the build prefix list. Maybe break the prefix into type of aircraft and type of action such as build, repair, recover, etc.
All I know is there is only one place where builds are predominant, RCSB, but the site is a PITA to navigate, load pics, etc. I love it here, plan on staying, and just hope somehow builds become easier to find.
