AnonymousDFB1 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) When: 25th June 2016 to 23rd October 2016 Hosts: Plastix and (vacant) I'm not in the habit of suggesting Group Builds but caught myself thinking that we have never had a diorama Group Build. The more I thought about it I came up with reasons not to, Too bit, take too much time etc. So I struck upon the idea or a vignette GBFor those that don't know a vignette is a small diorama or setting for a model. To make things simple I propose the following:1. The base must be no bigger than 6 inches/15.25cm square or in diameter.2. Must have two components other than a the setting (foliage, building etc,). e.g. 1 vehicle and 1 person (not driving or piloting) .Is this something people might be interested in? I can see it appealing to every aspect of modelling Automotive, armour, aviation, figures, maritime.Please feel free to discuss to tell me to get back to building some models 1. Mish2.

Mjwomack62. moaning dolphin Blastvader, Neu and I have had some discussions and managed to sort out what we hope will be suitable guidelines for this GB. Vignette GB guidelinesWhen: 25th June 2016 to 23rd October 2016Hosts: PlaStix, Neu and Blastvader A vignette is a small diorama that is meant to focus on a very small scene. A vignette usually has a single subject: a vehicle and/or figures, interacting on a specific task. For this GB, however, as were trying to encourage more modellers to have a go at making a base for their models, were saying the vignette must have at least two components other than the setting (groundwork, foliage, building, etc.). So, for example, it could have one vehicle and one person (not driving or piloting), or two vehicles, or two figures, etc., etc. or a combination thereof. The base, for this GB, can have a maximum surface area of up to 36 square inches or 232.5 square centimetres. For example the maximum sizes could be up to: 6 x 6 or 9 x 4 or 18cm x 12.9cm, etc. A circular base must have a maximum diameter of 6.77inches or 17.2cm. The base must be a shape such as a square, rectangle or circle so that the surface area is easily measurable. This means there cannot be any irregular shapes. The vignette can be made in any scale as long as it fits onto the base - see above. Overhang will be allowed so long as the item is directly connected to the base. So a plane's wing overhangs the base that's permitted, because the plane is connected to a base. Figures standing on a wing overhanging the base are not, since they are not directly connected to the base. The base can be one of the ones that comes with a kit (such as Matchbox kits) as long as the surface area is no bigger than 36 square inches. These vignettes, however, will be part of a separate sub-section of the GB. Use of a kit completed beforehand is allowed. You could, for example, make something in another GB (or elsewhere) and use it as part of your vignette. Obviously you could make everything as part of this GB - it's up to you. Use can be made of ready-made items such as trees, resin buildings, die cast vehicles, etc. but most of the vignette must be of your own making. As the whole concept is subjective, use your common sense and sense of fair play. As use can be made of previously completed kits and ready-made items the normal 25% rule will not apply for this GB but the base itself must not be started before the start of the GB. The Vignette can be based around any category of modelling including (but not limited to): Aircraft, AFVs, Figures, Maritime, Railways, Space, Sci-Fi, Vehicles, What-ifs, or even a combination of these. General stuff: All scenic elements must have a WIP thread showing progress, no completed Vignettes can go into the gallery unless there is a build thread. If you are building two or more similar Vignettes, then they may be combined in the same thread. No buying/wanted or selling in the GB area please, there is a buying and selling area in Britmodeller for this. There will be polls to vote for your favourite builds at the end of the GB, but please do not canvas for votes. Finally everybody likes constructive comments on their builds - please be polite and constrictive and no arguments please.

Silver Fox Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I'd be in for this as well. It's a cracking idea as it combines at least two modelling genres. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Thank you Cookenbacher, Bangor Lad and Badger. I make it that we're now one away from the half way mark. Anyone else? This could be a great GB because, as Mish said, we can have the whole range of modelling types involved: Aircraft, AFVs, Maritime, Vehicles, Space, Sci-Fi, Figures, Railway or even a combination!
