Enzo the Magnificent Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 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? ) 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 We are nearing November, which is when the poll starts for next year's Groupbuilds. 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.

Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 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.

Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mancunian airman Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Maybe I'm not fully au fait with things but I'm sure I put down for a 2017 build concerning artwork on aircraft ?? Since the format change I cant find the topic itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 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?

Mancunian airman Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) 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 http://www.vintagewings.ca/VintageNews/Stories/tabid/116/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/577/Bite-Me.aspx Edited October 19, 2016 by Mancunian airman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
