One Week GB - anyone up for one ?

[NARSES2]

Right I've been asked to see if there would be any interest in a One Week GB later in 2015 ? Obviously we'd need to handicap Dizzy in some way otherwise he'd get half a dozen done  

Seriously, if interested jot your names down here

[The Chaos]

Yup!

It does indeed. Apologies. I've corrected it and in honour and memory of Bert Royal my old English master will write it out 1,000 times

I'd be up for it - themed or anything you like in one week?

Anything you want to build as long as started and finished in one 7 day period

Boooo!

Sounds good to me. Will mean a 1000% increase in output and still be tight on any schedule !

Still I can use it as a legitimate excuse to hide away from the missus.   

[Captain Canada]

I'd be in ! When is later ?

In likely- although I actually prefer a theme- I miss those.  Yes I know it requires consensus, and some themes generate more interest than others, but I think it also brings out some great creativity and comeradere working on a common theme.

Broad enough for creativity, but narrow enough to focus.  (ie: "North Atlantic 1946" is broad, "Yak-3 in western service" is not.)

Another idea - how about making this concept the official 2015 GB? Working frame is a calendar week, and the result is to reflect "something" that fits into a matching real world time frame, e. g. a whiffy D-Day model in/for the week of the 6th of June? That does not exclude fictional time, e. g. stardate for Trekkies... just an idea, but probably too abstract?

It'd take me a week just to decide which kits to use for the build. 

Sorry, no chance I'll be competing, but I'll watch with interest.

I like Dizzy's idea, and hanker for a return of real group builds.  A week is likely too short for most, but appreciate the idea of getting timed builds back on the forum.  Heck 90 days was too short for many group builds.

I do like dizzys idea for a focus on a date of history, and gives you some time to think about what kits you want to abuse.

Ideas, not to celebrate war, but to hone in on a theme:

April 1st- bad idea/silly concepts
June- D-Day
November- Armistace, trench warfare/western front
May- VE day, or did the war go on?
May- spring cleaning- build the oldest kit in your stash.  Extra points for really poor/old kits.
August- Atomic ideas
December- winter sets in (let it snow GB, one of WHIF's best GB's)
