SaintsPhil Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Welcome aboard everyone! I've personally been looking forward to this one for a while now, but still not 100% sure what my build(s) will be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJL Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Bugger, only from 2007 onward? I thought it was from 2003 onward. My build will not be valid then unfortunately. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My build will not be valid then unfortunately.Dave Yeah I thought we was covering from 2003 Desert Sabre (invasion or Iraq) & Operation Telic onwards. Which pretty much rules out my entry Edited July 9, 2012 by Mish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsPhil Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I can't remember exactly what we decided, I think 2007 was chosen as this is when the charity started, however it was set up to raise money for service men injured in Op Telic and Op Herrick so I would suggest both are allowable? Welzy it's your call ultimately as host Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 It's slightly immaterial to me as I currently have nothing that fits ANY of the periods - once the Mods decide, I will have to plan a purchase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonP Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I was hoping for 2003 onwards too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellzy Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Sorry Guys got a bit mix up with this I was following this , "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. But it is now 2003 Les -------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuprar Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Hi all, can every body please PayPal me £5 as a gift or send me a cheque made payable to help for heroes for the same sum please. You will then be entered into this GB. If paying via PayPal I will add up all the funds and send a cheque in myself for the amount and will show the proof. Please pm me for details. Many thanks and don't forget I still have the H4H decals for sale! REMEMBER IM NOT MAKING ANY MONEY OUT IF THE DECALS. YOU PAY WHAT I PAID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuprar Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Right all, I got the H4H medal decals this morning. Right first thing first! IM NOT MAKING ANY MONEY ON THESE AT ALL. They are £1.07 each inc postage. I have had these custom made for this GB so let me know if you want any. But if you buy more than one, you will only get charged for postage once. The decal is no larger than a 5p coin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 A small point, the title should read Help for Heroes Group Build not Help for Heros. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) Right guys, I've got a question, Can we (I) start a build thread before we pay our £5? I'm *tight* on cash at the moment, the joys of starting a new business up! However, I will be entering, Just not yet if we have to pay up front.. If I can enter without paying I will get a thread up asap, then pay later on. If not then I will get some cash sent over in the next few weeks and start one then. Sorry to be a pain... Radleigh.

I am hoping to get in on this with a 1/48 Harrier - a lot depends on how things pan out at work etc so I may be a late entry; is that OK? cheers Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windy Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Just sent my £5 payment in, I will dig out some models later this week and get cracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacon Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I've chatted with AndyC and he is happy for me also make a Revell 1:144 C-17 Globemaster (only right I ask him as it was his choice first). This will be a bit of a challenge as my main modelling area is WW2 and lately WW1 Brits and not much this big (Stirling, oh I've got the Victor too). I'll send the payment in via Paypal before starting though. Cheers Deacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
