It’s been a busy time for Group Builds recently. As you will have seen we have just had the results of the Airfix Starter Kit GB. From idea to fully fledged GB was just a few weeks and was probably the best supported GB that Britmodeller has ever run.
We ended up with some great builds, two well deserved winners and an awful lot of fun.
Last weekend saw the end of the Armour GB and you can vote for your favourite build here and it’s not an easy task. Last weekend saw the start of the Nightfighter GB and we have some interesting builds started.
Of course let’s not forget the ongoing GBs, we have a out year long Gulf War GB still plugging away some quite adventurous build have and are being tackled. Then there is the Finnish Airforce GB, many diverse subject are finding a place in this GB. It is amazing all the types of aircraft that the Finns have used over the years. I really must pull my finger out and finish my Gladiator. Going even further back in history we have the Great War GB which is producing a variety of builds from early tanks to the wire brace early warbirds. I’ve even delved into this one myself and thoroughly enjoyed building and rigging one of Eduards weekend series Nieuport 17s. I’ve enjoyed it so much I’m tempted to build another! So if you’ve ever wanted to try your hand at building and rigging a biplane, here’s your chance, if I can do it anyone can.
And if planes and tanks are not your thing we have the Ferrari GB still running are real chance for you car modellers to show use some gleaming bodies I meant the finish on the cars you lot at the back!
Upcoming GBs are the Matchbox GB running during June, the Airliner GB starting in July, the What If GB starting in late July The Battle of Britain 70th Memorial GB starting in August followed at the end of August by the Blackburn Buccaneer GB.
For this years calendar see here
We have a packed calendar for the remainder of this year and nearly half of next year. Some great and diverse subject are planned and many more ideas are being discussed here.
So come on join in a GB and if there’s nothing you fancy planned or being planned, start a thread here and you maybe surprised at the response your idea gets. To get a GB approved and on the calendar you normally need fifteen members interested in participating and two hosts to oversee the GB.
