Hi everyone,

it will soon be time for the poll to decide which GBs we will have for 2017. This thread (which will remain locked - ain't I a tease? :D ) is here to try and kickstart some discussion in the relevant chat threads.

Please remember, this is not a final list. there is plenty of time for more entries before the poll starts in November.

Oh... and if I have missed any GBs which have reached the threshold, please let me know.

We are nearing November, which is when the poll starts for next year's Groupbuilds. :yikes: 

 

In the first post in this thread are all the GBs which are eligible for the poll.  Please have a look to see if I have missed any.  Can all prospective hosts start lobbying for their GBs.

A quick heads up.  

 

The first slot for 2017 actually starts on 31 December 2016.   The first GB will start very quickly after the end of the poll.  Hosts might want to prepare their prospective entrants for that.

 

Mind you, some may actually want an early start.

This thread is now open for comments.

 

I propose to start the vote on Saturday, 29th October and have it run through until Sunday 27th November.  This will give four whole weeks of voting. After it closes, I can then start the cat herding phase and assign some dates.  The very first slot starts on 31 December 2016, so there will be little more than a month to get things moving for that GB. 

 

If there are any special dates that apply to your GB, please let me know and we can try and fit it in around those dates.

I have signed in all 8/8... Though the F-16 STGB is the only jet I have a kit for, or actually four for! If I find jet building interesting, I shall invest in the rest of them too. F-15, F-104, F-111, Su 27, MiG 29... No reason to get excited at all?

Can I offer this to encourage some considering artwork GB . .. .  as most were hand painted then you might be able to get a good representation of any of the MANY aircraft shown

Just a reminder that the vote starts next Saturday.

 

Is that the final listings at the top of the page ??
Having not taken part previous it such voting, can you just run by the formalities for those of us in the same situation.

 

Many thanks 

Ian

There are very few formalities.  When the poll starts, I will put up a thread where you can vote.  You can vote for up to six GBs. The poll will run until midnight on 27th November. However, if there is no significant movement for a week, I will end the poll early.

 

At any time, you can delete your votes and start again.  Experience has shown that there is a lot of tactical voting.  All part of the fun! :D

not final.  If any other GBs reach the threshold of 30 interested candidates between now and Saturday, they will be included as well.

 

Currently there are 24 GBs in the poll.   We like to see GBs which are as inclusive as possible and I think that this year we have succeeded admirably.  Nineteen of those GBs (almost 80%) will allow non-aircraft subjects. :thumbsup:

The message finally seems to be getting through!  ;)
