Right here is the poll for the choice of this coming season's GB's. As per usual we will have 3 (plus the 1 week GB which kicks off end of May/early June) and provisionally they will be July/Sept : Nov/Jan : Mar/May. Each will be 13 weeks with 2 weeks allowed for the inevitable extension.

Some explanations for a couple of the categories. The discussion threads will have more information :-

Vice/Verse : For example you can convert an aircraft to helicopter ; military to civil ; Jet to propeller etc and any other switch your fertile minds can come up with.

Anniversary : If this comes into the top 3 we will have a run off vote to pick the actual anniversary (or more likely year) to be modelled.

Paint shop in a time warp : paint a WW! subject in WWII or modern colours or WWII in WWI or Modern or Modern in WWI/WWII etc

You can see a further discussion of these categories in the discussion thread

Maximum of 5 votes per member and voting will finish on Sunday 30th April and the top 3 go through. There will be a run off in the event of a tie.

I also need volunteers to moderate. Without moderators it will be difficult to run them. So if you would like to help please put your hand up now

Thanks

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

An early leader but there's a fair few very close behind.

Chris - who's already looking at the possible rules for a run off  ;)

We'll only be doing 3 GB's plus the one week GB. I just allowed 5 votes per person as there were so many choices

As for using the old kit ? Wait until the GB's are chosen and then ask the Moderators.

Voted, too. Tough choice, even though there's enough room to submit an idea under several banners.
