The Flying Boat, Seaplane and Amphibian G.B - Discussion thread

[NARSES2]

O.K. here's the place for any general discussions including regarding the rules.

Chris

And in previous discussion the mods have determined that hovercraft and ekranoplans ARE eligible.

Do we get to ask questions yet?   

First up is, I'd like to request a ruling from the mods on entering my Porco Rosso Savoia S.21.  I didn't realize that it would be a perfect fit for this GB so I started it, but got no further than cutting the main pieces off the sprue and giving the cockpit interior a single coat of paint.  It's been sitting untouched for a few weeks as I've tried to focus on getting my Sci-Fi GB projects finished... and remained that way in anticipation of this request.

All current work can be reviewed in the build thread - http://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php/topic,44187.0.html

[PR19_Kit]

Yes, questions are OK now. We'll cogitate on your S.21 and get back to you.

We've discussed it &, if that's as far as you've gone, it's a unanimous "Yes, you may enter it" from the mod's.

[strobez]

Yay! I would like to thank the academy for their consideration...

[Old Wombat]

Oh, no! We're just GB moderators! The Whiffy Academy is a whole different kettle of fish!

[strobez]

Can I also respectfully ask one of those fine moderators to move the Savoia thread to this GB section?

[Old Wombat]

OK, I'll give it a try.


Remember, no more work until 00.01 Wednesday 1st November 2017!


Later: Sorry, strobez, looks like I can't. I'll chase it up with Chris.

[PR19_Kit]

Yeah, we moderators may be 'all powerful' within our own GB area, but for REAL power you need a Global Moderator. 

[NARSES2]

I'll get the S21 moved.

Guy ignore my PM I replied to yours before reading this thread.

I've moved it 

[NARSES2]

Looking at the stash I have an ideal candidate for this GB. Problem is, is that it's a vacform and I've never built one 

I may well start it and take my time with it whilst working on something else.

Other scales are available of course.
