Tips and tricks for building fast
taiidantomcat:
With such a short window from to start to finish for this GB I felt it would be appropriate to have special section on tips and tricks (this would normally be the "inspiration" section) for building faster and more efficiently. Feel free to add to this with your own tips or links or other posts even if you don't plan on participating in the GB. every bit helps!
Kerick:
One color camo scheme!
Old Wombat:
Plan your build first; know what you're going to do & when.

Brian da Basher:
First off, I just wanted to thank Mr Tomcat for bravely moderating this lengthy but not so lengthy GB!
Here's a few things I've learned doing blitz builds:
Pick a kit you're familiar with. When time is tight, you don't want to have to figure things out.
Which leads to planning, as Mr Wombat said. This will save time & trouble.
Sort out decals in advance, along with replacements.
Stick to a simple color scheme (as noted by kerick). The best I've been able to manage is two-tone uppers with a third underside color.
Use CA (super glue) and acrylic paints. These dry fast enough to make a blitz a lot more achievable.
I also like painting by hand with a brush. Nothing could be simpler or take less prep and there's no take-down like with an airbrush.
Strategic snacking and tactical use of adult beverages is also helpful.
