Keep an eye on this general area to see when it begins & what topics are still up for voting.

Mate every year we have Group Builds or a subject build..and like always there's tons of ideas ..now we can't have then all as it would be to mental for Chris to handle em all ..so every person gets to vote and what's most popular gets moved to a second round of voting and that list gets shorter .
In the end we will have a list that is much more controllable for Chris .
Then I think it's up to the Moderators  to sort out the rules of the Group Build and then the real fun beings  ;D
It's like the Post Apocalyptic group build ..my idea and if it's chosen its probable I'll be in control of it..then I'll have to come up with the rules which would be simple..other than that I have no idea from that point on  :lol:
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Thx for explaining, I tought something like that also.

There are a lot of very interesting stuff in the list above  ! 
And the themes are a nice kick , I wouldn't ever build my F86 without the 50's group build for example, so I hope not to miss the results.  See you there ...

There's one bloody annoying fact about this list of group builds and that's there is to damn many good ones ..there's at least 5 that's got my attention but there's now way I could build that many models at pretty much the same time..it's most depressing 🙃
Tell ya what tho ..im gonna try for more than one I can tell ya 😉

Very well explained sir.

The only things I would add are that we have 3 Group Builds a year, each lasting 3 months (plus extension  :angel: ) and the Annual One Week Build (which is actually 10 days). In the end the GB's are chosen by the membership and run by those who volunteer to oversee them. I simply set the threads up and help out the Mods when and as needed. Your classic backroom boy.  :rolleyes:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

 Chris those three things I had no idea of so my last words were quite ture  ;D

As for the backdoor boy I hardly think so ..your more like the head professor who keeps all of his pure A grade nutcases in line and at the same time make their lives easier like sorting this out and making it happen..it's a crap load of work with all the other stuff as well ..back door boy my arse..more like the Headmaster matey ...and we're your head cases 😁
