Merlin kits - it depends on the master.  Some of them are quite buildable but others are utter garbage, the aforementioned TSR2 being one.  However, it can be built.  I've seen at least 2 over the years.

Resin generally, Unikraft specifically.  And now Merlin.

I suggest a nam ;D ;De change to 'The Bag Of Spanners' GB!

I wouldn't write off resin kits as there are some truly stunning kits - Czechmaster, Airkit (sadly defunct), Hitech (ditto).

But yes, that name change is quite applicable.  Widen it to include vacforms and you're onto a winner.  Resin, limited run and vacforms all fit the bill.

Already done - basically anything that scares you!

I see that there's a separate Scratchbuild GB in the poll, but IMO that would fall within the definition of Fear and Trepidation. I propose to merge the two.

Scratchbuild is kept separate since it is most likely going to be much, much longer than normal GB.  Besides, it is far more specialised.
