The 1950's GB Rules

[NARSES2]

Right, firstly can I apologise but I may well have caused some of the confusion with the rules simply by not keeping them up to date with any modifications. Sorry for that.

So the Rules as finalised, and I've hi-lighted the area that was causing perhaps the most confusion.


THE 1950's GB RULES

1.   The 1950's GB runs from 00:01 Wednesday 1 March 2023 to 23:59 Wednesday 31 May 2023 (all times local).  An extension may or may not be considered/set up according to demand and or pecuniary overtures.

2 Physical models of any scale, profiles, and stories are eligible but your subject must be a whif that was either built, designed, proposed, considered or used during the 1950's. Subjects in use post 1959 are not eligible.
 
Your whiff can be as simple (change of markings or camo scheme) or as complex (full on kit bashing) as you wish.  If in doubt as to what's in scope then contact the Mods.

3)  You may build, draw or write as many entries as you like (good luck!).  The posting of in-progress pictures is encouraged as always.  Back stories - however long or short - supporting physical models and profiles are always welcome.

4) "Preparation" work is allowed prior to the start of the GB - this includes the cutting out and cleaning up of parts, even designing and printing your own decals, but anything involving paint or glue is not allowed.

5) Eligibility of part-started models will be considered by the moderators. You should pm to explain what you have done (pictures are a great help if you can include them) and they will decide, their decision being final.

6) No rule 6 - is there ever a rule 6 ? It's one rule or another so from now on it's 6
 
7) Your Moderators are Crudebuteffective and Crudebuteffective the Younger. Thank you, gentlemen.

8. The completed builds thread will be locked at the end of the GB and shortly afterwards the poll will be set up. The number of votes each member will get depends on the number of entries.  Keep your eyes out for updates!

9) As decided earlier in the year by the Membership the first three placed entries in the Group Build will automatically be nominated for a Whiffy in a new, specific Group Build Class.

I was going to lock this thread and start a new one for the finalised rules, but I thought I might confuse things even more

I'd lock it now, Chris, before people start arguing debating the details of the rules ... Again.

One minor pedantic point, if one keeps to the proper numbering of years, 1951 is the first year of the
1950s and 1960 is the last year as the 1950s are the sixth decade of the 20th century not the fifth.

See!

See!

Next you'll be telling us the current millennium began on 01-01-2001 and the whole 1999/2000 thing was a year early...

I may well do, we shall see.
