Badder Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Not being into 'wingy' things, but appreciating good models, I just had a look at the Starfighter STGB. Some good work in there. And then I had a look at the poll which is now closed. A TOTAL of 6 votes were cast, with 2 models having 2 votes each and 2 other models having 1 vote each. So actually, despite what seems to be 'slow voting' in BM's 'First ever AFV GB', we have actually had a very good response! Still, I don't understand why so few people vote in the polls. I think it's almost discourteous! Badder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Congratulations to all those who won their catagories in this GB, and thank you to the team who made it all possible, especially @Sgt.Squarehead for all the help he gave to all, and the kind donation of prizes. Badder (Very happy with my 3rd place overall, a vast improvement on my first GB entry!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 I do sometimes wonder if some members dislike the semi-competetive nature of the GB format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 GBs aren't really mean to be competitive. The point of them is really to get people building together and having a bit of fun. I think this GB managed that admirably! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can take it or leave it Sgt. I stopped competing in competition as it caused my burnout in ‘05. I like the camaraderie, banter, and helpfulness in the group build’s. My first ever was the Sherman. And im slated for about a dozen now, including one im hosting (Patton). Would it be nice to win ... Yes. But not what im here for.

Foghorn Leghorn Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I've never considered a GB as competitive, but I've never been that way inclined with modelling (although I am competitive elsewhere in life). For me, one of the reasons for entering a GB is the drive to get the thing finished and not end up as yet another shelf queen, the deadline for the gallery is good motivation in that sense.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 Not half as sorry as me, believe me.....Replacing it is going to skint me completely, I'm looking at a two grand hole in my budget at the absolute minimum (and I will have to switch to Win10). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I feel your pain, I've had to scrap together cash for the car. I don't envy you with the windows 10 uplift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Sarge, if you have a hard copy of either Win 7 or 8.1, you can still upgrade free the Win10 by downloading the file on to a USB stick; https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10 regards, Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
