Rules, something along these lines, they're not hard & fast, just a very quick draft of the basics.

1. Build a model of a flying saucer aircraft.  Can be a real project or something from your imagination, from any era of aviation up to the near future, 2050ish.

2. The model doesn't have to be a pure circular winged aircraft, it can be anything from a flying wing to a pure saucer to just a very peculiar aircraft that on sighting may cause any self-respecting Red-Neck to go running for his shot gun!

3. Space craft are welcome, but more from a 'plausible' earth based scenario rather than a full on sci-fi kind of thing.  You can use a sci-fi kit as a basis for a build.

4. OOB(ish) builds are fine as is any level of kit-bashing.

5. Prizes are way off sorting out, but they'll probably be something like Rose & Butlers Flying Saucer Aircraft book, Hase's XF5U Flying Pancake & something else I can't think of yet.

These are really rough, I'm just canvasing interest at the moment.
I exist to pi$$ others off!!!

The GB Officially starts today & finishes on July 15th, so you've got three months.  On your marks, get set, GO!!!!

:party: :party: :party:

Looking forward to some really bizzare shapes to festoon the sky (or ground or water!)!
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Comrade Anatoly might have rules on this, but I won't be asking for the threads to be shut down immediatley as the clock turns 11.59pm Thursday night, so as long you get your pictures up soon after the deadline, I won't be clockwatching.  I think Anthony generally goes on Pacific Standard time, because unless we have members in Alaska or Hawaii, they are the furthest behind.  There will be no further extensions though.

Cheers Mossie - I do NOT want any further extensions, but it's going down to the wire and I wanted to know if I had Thursday evening or not.....

The saucer's a real 3-D jigsaw to put together: last night was the first time I actually had it together, and the self-print decals I MUST sort out for it tonight will be the first I've ever done........
