Group Build Poll for the 2017/2018 GB Season

[PR19_Kit]

Second place the flying boat, seaplane and amphibian GB

WHY??

You couldn't enter your Grebe anyway, you've already started it.

Now I will be running the Cold War GB as the final build of the trio simply because we are currently coming to the end of the Soviet GB and the two are similar.

On the subject of a Cold War GB there have been various other "cold wars" throughout history although they wouldn't of used the name. When we come to it we will need to decide exactly what we mean by the term, but that's nine months or so down the line.

Well, if you want to do a different type of Cold War, here's my take on how it could be different:
Build models, dioramas, etc. in a ice, snow, winter, etc. "cold war" type setting/scheme. Anything submitted must have white and/or other "arctic type" colors in it like light blue, sky blue, etc. and/or have been used in a winter/frozen/arctic type setting.

We did that several years ago with the "let it snow GB" before the GB pause.  It had good participation and some great builds.  I still vote we do a pause on GB themes like the Cold War, but again sorry I brought it up perhaps too late.  By happenstance my last Cold War GB entry "Ice Station Delta" was both traditional cold war, AND on ice!

The first thing that popped into my head was a flying refrigerator as an alternative cold war project.
Would that be filled under cargo aircraft?

So, no last minute surge of votes for a pirate GB then.

[NARSES2]

Just to reiterate. I'll run a poll on whether we should "pause" GB categories for a season or two in a month or so after I've got this season's sorted out.

Secondly. Now I know that in a way I started it, but lets leave the discussion on what constitutes a Cold War GB until nearer the date, which will probably be sometime in 2018. Any discussions now will just be forgotten about in the rush to do other things and we'll have to go all through the points again.

Thanks gents.

You could pair it with a man-powered aircraft and call it air-to-air refuelling....

What scales are Indiana Jones figures available??   

Gotta have one if you have a flying fridge!

Exactly

Got a few builds for the flying boat, seaplane and amphibian GB. Just need to finish them.

Just to explain.

The whole point of a G.B. is that you build the model from start to finish within the GB period. i.e. No pre started models.

[McColm]

OK.

Chris,

Serious question.  I've a bunch of part builds that are doing my head in!  A number of them I think could fit into several of the GB themes.  Bearing in mind the rules (as you reminded folk already) would there be any harm in carrying on a part build within the general theme of a GB but not part of it?  So if there's a GB general chat thread going on (say) then post updates on failed GB entry revival progress there?  Clearly not start an in-build thread or have the build up for voting when the time comes.

So for example if the flying boat, seaplane and amphibian GB actually happened, it'd be OK to revive my Bristol Beaumaris build (http://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php/topic,36984.msg596992.html#msg596992) under the umbrella of that GB but not part of it?
