Voted....the Leadership will resign, the group will implode, stuff will be said, the Leader will announce "I'm back" and the world will cease.
Or not.... :-\

I think both are winners, just one will come earlier than the other. I'm just glad to see so much interest, hopefully that will equate to lots of entries in both (and the BoB) builds. Both were in my original votes, and have civ/mil in the stash. It is exciting to have a few to think about (and likely change my mind about).

Looks like we have a leader (for now).  Obviously it's the one I didn't vote for - the kiss of death strikes again.

No worries, this is just to determine 1st and 2nd place, both will happen.  First place will run in June - August.  Chris wants to run the BoB GB during the anniversary, so that will run in September - November spot.  Whatever comes out 2nd place will take the December - February spot.
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.

Right the poll is closed and despite it being close we have a winner  :thumbsup: Thank you gentlemen.

So we will be running the civilinise it/militarise it GB from 1st June through 31st August. We will then run the BoB GB which came third as that will mean we will be running it during the 75th anniversary and then we will run the Cold War GB December through February 2016. Then it's 2016's One Week Build and in March we will also have the vote for 2016's GB's. Where did my life just go ???:blink: :rolleyes:

There will now be a short intermission (a few of are old enough to remember those) whilst myself and our brave volunteer Moderators get our acts together but hopefully we should have more news for you early next week.

Thank you again

Chris

Thanks for sorting the poll and the run-off Chris.  Considrr me ready to run 1WGB16.

And I know what I'll bebuilding for the 'civilianise/militarise' GB. Will be a bit of a departure for me.

Thanks for sorting all this out Chris - nice one. :thumbsup:

Glad it turned out that way because I have a model in mind that will fit both the Civilianise it GB and the VTOL GB that starts on the same day over on BTS.  :thumbsup:

Those were the days  ;D

Still not sure what I'm going to build, will have a look for one kit at Newcastle which will go civil to military with a few changes but I want to do one the other way as well

LOL - nope, it's the F.I.G.A.S Hueycobra: bought by Argentina, then "donated" to the Falklands as a disarmed flying crane. VTOL? Check. Disarmed? Check.

Thank you to all the voters and especially to future moderators and even more to NARSES2 for putting this all together.
If you need me I'll be searching through the stash. I have a Bradley with no turret so maybe some form of construction equipment? Cut down the back and scrounge up a crane?

Funny, I had the same idea of building something for both GB's also. Although my idea involves an H-21.

We don't just embrace insanity here.  We feel it up, french kiss it and then buy it a drink.
