Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 This is the first year that Britmodeller has ever had an armour-specific STGB. And suddenly we have two! I have a Tamiya Nashorn in The Stash. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 That's great news Enzo and thank you for moving this to Future Group Builds. I have added you to our list. Well we now have an AFV GB at the start of next year (the M3/M4 Medium Tank STGB) and then this one to end it! Enzo has let us know this GB will run from Sat 15 Dec 2018 until Sun 17 Mar 2019 Now we have over a year to get the kit(s) sorted we want to build!

That will give me plenty of time to save up for the Nashorn and full PE and upgrade tracks! And coincidentally, enough time to talk Enzo out of building a rival Nashorn!

I thought there was at least going to be three of you building the Tamiya Nashorn kit! I think that's great! We could have a Nashorn section.

I'd be up for a Tiger STGB but I think it's been suggested before but not got enough people signed up. That's not a reason not to try again though - let's face it - this is the first time there have been AFV only STGBs on Britmodeller. Happy to to start a thread if you want me to.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Im up for a Mk VI BUILD 👍 Tigers are still one of my Favorites and far to many options 😜. Im really liking these because it’s getting my Armor Mojo moving again. Edited October 10, 2017 by Corsairfoxfouruncle Additional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plasto Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 To get a GB to run you have 2 choices. A STGB which needs I think 20 sign ups or a themed GB which needs circa 30 sign ups and is then put in a ballot with all the other themed GB suggestions. A ‘Tiger Tank’ GB could be construed as a STGB ‘Big Cats’ Would be a themed GB I think Id sign up for a Tiger Tank STGB. I guess you’d have to have a think about the scope and what’s included in that. HTH Plasto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Ozzy has now started a Panzer VI Tiger STGB here over in the chat section. Make sure you head over there and sign up! The more AFV GBs the merrier! Kind regards, Stix Edited October 10, 2017 by PlaStix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 It would still be good to have a few more signups for this STGB - the more people taking part the merrier - and don’t forget to sign up for the M3/M4 and Tiger STGBs too!

Meteors Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Hi Guys, I recently purchased a Dragon Panzer IV Ausf C, and I'm keen to be involved in a group build, but I'm not too sure of how it all works, so I just have a couple of questions. What does STGB stand for? (I'm assuming the GB stands for Group Build) The dates listed for this group build have the start as in December 2018, is this correct, this build doesn't start for over a year? Thanks, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasto Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Single Type Group Build. The date is correct. Britmodeller has a very full programme of Group builds happening. The upside is you can take you time deciding what to build. Or build something as practice between now and then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 To add to what Plasto has said. You can also gather information, aftermarket goodies to use, or as the rules say you can have 25% already assembled when it starts. So if this a dragon it probably has individual track links. You can build up the little sections and have them ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteors Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Thanks for the replies guys, I like the idea of these group builds to help me focus and keep me on target. I have so many kits in my pile of shame that I probably wouldn’t get to this one until around then anyway, so please put me down for this one if there’s room!
