Enzo the Magnificent Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 It's been done already That's basically the wings from two A-10s, an A-10 engine pod, the tail from an OV-10 and the forward fuselage from a Turbostar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotel Papa Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Hi guys, noob here. I think participating in a group build might just be the thing to get me back in the swing of things. The subject I have in mind would actually qualify for TWO of the current GBs (namely: less than a tenner and Trainer Types). Is that admissible? Entering one model in two GBs?

AnonymousDFB1 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 No specific rule to say not but it would be polite to ask the hosts of both GBs if it's okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper_city Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Not really sure on this one. Has it ever been done before Mish? I would say out of sportsmanship only enter one but at the end of the day I'm easy? Will have to check with Radleigh & the training types lot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) (only just seen this) I don't mind personally, and as Hotel Papa is a newbie I'd like to say yes.. reason being as it'll entice him (and others) to maybe enter more GB's? So long as the model meets both GB rules I can't see an issue? Edited February 4, 2014 by Radleigh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to check with Radleigh & the training types lot Occasionally someone asks, it doesn't come up very often, probably 4 or 5 times since I've been looking after the GBs. From memory I think a request has only ever been refused once and that was because there was prizes in each of the GBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotel Papa: Please feel free to start a build thread in this GB and if the guys running the training types gives you the green light then join there GB also.

snapper_city Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Hi Guys We are a week into the GB and there has been some cracking work already taken place. We have one finished build in the gallery already and Speedman is well on the way to breaking records. We currently have 61 build threads running of all shapes and sizes including: Air Racers WW2 Legends Jets A Flying Wing Turbo Props Helicopters A Tank Transporter Tanks A mine Clearer Racing Cars Civilian Vehicles A Fire Truck Even Birds have made it into the GB Scales including 1:1, 1:100, 1:144, 1:200, 1:24, 1:25, 1:32, 1:35, 1:43, 1:48, 1:50?, 1:72, 1:76 Currently no maritime kits being built but I hope to change that with my third entry. This is turning out to be a right old eclectic GB. If you still haven't entered then what are you waiting for. Start a thread and join the madness...

Prenton Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Hi Mods I'd like to enter with this little lad:- I got it for 1 euro at an aviation fair last November in Dublin. On my reckoning 1 euro is about 82 pence, which must be one of the cheapest kits in the GB. Let me know if this is OK, and I'll start a thread.

Speedman Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 We currently have 61 build threads running of all shapes and sizes Yay! Due to the awful weather, what I had on tomorrow has been cancelled so I get more time to build stuff. Before that though, I'm going to catch up with everyone's builds. I've been so flat out I've barely had time to look at them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I've been a bit ill over the last few days so haven't even thought of the Hudson, managed to get the white on the He-111 though which means tomorrow should be Hudson day all day, just hope I shake this off what ever it is I have!? Welcome to all the new people, and Mark, it's turning out to be a proper busy GB, which is great. Roll on L.T.A.T 2! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radleigh Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 LOL, £150! Think you've made a slight mistake Welcome to the GB though! I've made progress on the Typhoon and Hudson, so will have an update this week, still feeling a bit under the weather and the tablets I take for my back aren't helping either (they are for my back though).

Enzo the Magnificent Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I've just realised that the brand new Eduard Mig-15 which I've bought would actually qualify for this build. £9.25 from MJW Models.
