AnonymousDFB1 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 I've created a banner for the GB, please feel free to 'nick' it and use it to promote this important Group Build I've also placed it in the GB banners thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsPhil Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Nice banner Mish! Looking forward to this one, not been involved in hosting before so bear with me! I'm sure it'll be a nice friendly GB anyway with such a good cause behind it. I was thinking of having a go at one of the new Airfix AFV sets, including figures. Not done an AFV or many figures since my teens so could be a challenge! I may also do a nice quick OOB 1/72 airfix GR9 to keep one foot in my comfort zone!!

cuprar Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Hi all, I can't wait to get this GB off to a start. Right some of you have been asking about decals of the medal to fit on your build! I have had these made up and I'm just waiting for them to turn up from a friend over in Canada. These are what I have coming Right as for the medal, I have sent Ben an email asking how much to print the medals of in 72nd scale so they will look ok on any scale, this is what I sent So if anybody want one let me know. I will get a price back to you ASAP but PLEASE NOTE I WILL BE PUTTING 40p on each one to cover the postage costs and packing. Sorry to be a tight bottom but if you all have one, then it would add up to a bit Edited February 16, 2012 by cuprar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsPhil Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 You can deffinately count me in for one of those decals! Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erikmuntz Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hey Mish, First off, I'd love love love to join this GB and help out our heroes. I'm curious towards 2 things. 1st, what is the charge? Is it still 5 Euros? Next, is it ok if I reside in the states? Will there be any type of problem with exchanging the money. Thirdly, what are the restrictions on the types of models? And finally, are we still going to sell the finished models at the end of the GB to try and raise more funds, maybe to each other?

I think Chris is talking about decals to go on models rather than to display with models. Hey Mish,First off, I'd love love love to join this GB and help out our heroes.

Erik Erik, No problem with you joining in. The entrance fee is expected to be £5 Wellzy will be co-ordinating this. The scope will be any British vehicle, plane ship or figure from either of the Gulf wars or Afghanistan. The auctioning of models hasn't be finalised that will be discussed and decided upon here before the start of the GB. To further expand on the subject of the scope of the GB: Quote from Help for Heros website: "Help for Heroes was founded by Bryn and Emma Parry in October 2007 out of a desire to help the wounded Servicemen and women returning from Afghanistan and Iraq. The message of the charity is simple: We are strictly non political and non critical; we simply want to help. We believe that anyone who volunteers to serve in time of war, knowing that they may risk all, is a hero. These are ordinary people doing extraordinary things and some of them are living with the consequences of their service for life. We may not be able to prevent our soldiers from being wounded, but together we can help them get better". As such we will limit entries to cover things from just that statement. Anything from UK Forces in those two areas of combat. A Help for Hero's medal sticker (included with the price of the entrance fee) will be display anywhere on the entry. On the model/base or prominent in the final photos. It was felt that we need to limit the GB as to have it too open will detract from possible future GBs, impinge on current and possible repeat past GBs. As for content. We have any British aircraft, ship, armour and figure that was in either of the two theatres. I think that's pretty wide. Just off the top of my head we have Nimrods, Tornado GR.3 and F.2, Jaguars, VC-10, Hercules, Victors Buccaneers, Harriers, Warriors, Jackals, Landrovers, Challengers. Ships I have no idea of but there must be a bevy of destroyers and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Keef, one of the Hosts will liaise with you about the stickers. I think Chris is talking about decals to go on models rather than to display with models. Morning Mish, Sorry, I did realise that one was a decal, I was just making an idle comment that I think the stickers are the same, not meaning that they neccessarily could replace the decals. If you see what I mean....??!! (bit early for me to make sense this time of day!!) Keef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuprar Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hi all, I've just got an email back from Ben about the H4H medal decals to put on our models, here it is:- Hi Chris, that's good news! Are you referring to the medal with the stripes hung over the fuselage?  Or just the medal?  If just the medal, how big do you want it? It looks like if I just fill a page with 1/72 medals with the stripe etc (so a pair joined by the cloth part) then I can fit all 40 into about half a page.  Are these all for different people from your modelling club?  Maybe tell them $1 each?  That doesn't sound too crazy does it? -Ben So with postage it works out £1.07. He is getting these done ASAP so they should be in my hands in about 2-3weeks. Please note I am not making money on these what so ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellzy Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hi All It looks like it`s going to be £5 each entrance fee and how do you fill about a Auction at the end of the Group Build. Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuprar Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hi Les, an Auction would be great. Would that be on here or on eBay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonP Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I think the auction is a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 A personal view here, I would like to see any auction as voluntary as I'm not too happy with the though of having to sell my model especially if I make a good job of it.

I agree with this. I'd love to sell my model and help raise funds even more but it should be voluntary. As for the auction, couldn't we just do it on here? Have a new topic for the auction and just see what people are asking and what people are offering for the model? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I probably wouldn't auction mine, as if it turns out OK, & he wants it, I'll be passing it onto my son in law, as he's flown a number of missions in the intended subject!

OK with Mish on this one if you want to put it up for Auction it up to you ,or in my case how much to get some one to take it !
