Stew Dapple Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Thanks gents; I enjoyed my build very much although it wasn't the sort of thing I would usually do and would not have done so if it hadn't been for this GB Cheers to everyone who took part, to our charming hosts and the mods for setting it all up Cheers, Stew 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Couldn't agree more with the comments above, I have thoroughly enjoyed my build and watching all the other great builds, and there are some crackers on here. I look forward to the next Huey or helicopter GB. Craig. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synopsis Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Well I enjoyed my build, I would have done a UH-1 but that was what I built for the last Helo GB so I plumbed for a Cobra instead. I have to say I do really enjoy taking part in GB's, it's a side of the hobby I never really thought much about until I took part in my first but now I tend to find myself planning my builds around them rather than anything else! I really enjoy seeing other peoples builds progress and see how they handle issues, and who doesn't enjoy watching one of Nigey's builds progress! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S5 modeller Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Hope to get a poll up soon lads, when I've worked out how to do it. Matt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milktrip Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Evening all, Matt and I have been discussing the poll and wondering if we should split the vote between AH-1 and UH-1 aircraft i.e. 2 polls. What's the general feeling; would you prefer just one poll for all entries or two polls, one for AH-1 (cobras) and the other for UH-1 (iroquois)? cheers Aaron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Heath Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I think the vote should be split, they are quite different looking aircraft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milktrip Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Thanks Nigel, I agree and thought that at the start of the GB but wasn't sure how many submissions there would be in the gallery to justify a split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight_Flyer Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Yes, I'm fine with a split as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Same here, they are quite different beasts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milktrip Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 thanks for the feedback guys. The poll is now open (thanks Enzo). As mentioned above it is split into two, UH-1 & AH-1. I went through the gallery again and really struggling!!! Excellent models, so well done guys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Great, thanks! Is there a way of at least onfoing the GB members about a poll opening? Would be helpful, at least to me! Ehen does the poll close by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Hi guys, After this great GB how about taking part in another helicopter based STGB? I have proposed a CH-46 / KV-107 STGB for 2018 but we need backers. There are 8 of us signed up so far (including some from this GB) but we need more!! There are some great schemes for this wonderful chopper so give it your support and we can build some more egg beaters in 2018. Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Hi Craig! I fear that this GB is too narrow for my liking... i.e. too few possible users. USMC, Japan, Sweden ... did I forget anybody? maybe chances get better if you manage to include Chinooks, or other double rotor designs as well... () I know, STGB rules. :(, at least in 1/48 it would be quite a challenge to finish any of these! just my thoughts of course! all the best! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
