milktrip Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I'd be happy to offer my services Cliff. Never hosted or co-hosted a GB but willing to give it a go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Good to go now. Voting in November BTW the * at the start of the Title is so I know the subject meets the criteria for the vote Edited September 27, 2015 by Mish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arniec Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I have just bought a Gee Bee racer in 1/32 from a friend. If the Racing GB is a no go and this one is I will build it here. If both are thrue than I will need a second back-up. But there is enough in the stash to build on here, so that is not a problem.

Possibly the highest engine:fuselage ratio of any radial engined aircraft? Just got a Revell 1/48 B-17F, just to keep you happy Cliff. Hooray - a multi! Thanks Doug.

CliffB Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Just a reminder folks (if any is needed), that this GB would be open to any radial or rotary piston engined subject - land, sea or air. Or all three if you choose a Catalina. Cliff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Let me count the stash possibilities... I'm still in with the civil Caribou. Getting impatient to start, actually. So get voting you lot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarylH Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) (POOM POOM POOM Is this thing on?)... I've been stopping in for a schedule. Any news yet? I've gathered together my RCAF PV-1 bits and now that I've fondled them they don't want me to go. Edited November 29, 2015 by DarylH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Doesn't look like it's going to get in the top five in the vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 As Mish says, things aren't looking too good! Already thinking about how I might sneak a few radial engines into the more popular Group Builds (purely as a precaution you understand ). Keep the faith.

CliffB Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 So folks, we're almost half way through the year now and I guess we have a feel for the GB choices that will be available for next year. Although the Radial Engines Rock GB wasn't successful in 2016, it did do pretty well (second highest loser after Rising Sun), so it maybe warrants a second chance this time round. We qualify for an automatic entry in this year's vote if we want it - so what do you think? I'm still happy to Host, if there's interest . To recap, the GB would cover any subject that features a radial or rotary piston engine. Aircraft wise, there is a massive choice from WW1 through to Korea, sleek fighters through to heavy bombers and of course a great choice civil subjects too. Edit: Helicopters as well, of course (thanks for the reminder Rob G!). Armour wise, there are options too (I'm afraid you guys will know better than me what these are!). There is also this....... Anyone still interested in a Radial Engine GB? Cheers Cliff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Why not, I voted for it last time! As for subjects, there's boats and racing cars as well. Possibly a motorcycle from New Zealand, too. And heliclopters. Lots of scope. I might make a start on a Wingnut Wings Sopwith Triplane. But don't hold your breath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliffB Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Thanks guys, that's a very clear response . I'll ask Enzo to include us in the 2017 GB vote! Whilst not strictly necessary, I'll update the list in post #1 to reflect current interest. Any further takers? Cheers Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 This one was included in the 2016 poll but didn't make the cut. As such it gets an automatic entry in the 2017 poll, provided it is formally requested - which is what Cliff has just done. It's in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Puff Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I'll play - gives me a chance to do something about my scheme about building a collection of DC-2/3/4/5/6s in Australian markings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 That sounds like an ambitious scheme AP. One of each for the GB? My current plan is for a kit bash. Most of this..... Combined with the front of this... Cheers Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Given my current fascination with armour, I'm looking at an M3 Honey tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
