modelling minion Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 Same here Rich. I tried to make the GB as inclusive as possible so that members who don't just build aircraft can join in, not sure how we can get the word out further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't cast your vote yet you need to go the "group build 2018 vote" section and place your vote, you can vote for up to 6 group builds that take your fancy, just make sure that 80''s Asia is one of them!

modelling minion Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 We could really do with a LOT more votes guys if we are to stand a chance of making it for next years GB list, so if you haven't voted for us already then please do, and bring along anyone else you can find!!

modelling minion Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Looks like we are firmly glued to the bottom end of the table . Very surprised and disappointed that we haven't got more support as the GB is open to almost every king of modelling! If anyone has any ideas how to shoot up the poles or make us more likely to get selected next year then please feel free to post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asianairarms Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Craig, Â Should we fail to get this going could you do something similar using Asian Air Arms SIG website? I'd be more than happy to host it but you'd have to do the technical stuff. It seems a tragedy to let go such enthusiasm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you could handle the Asian and Australian beer and I'll cover Europe and America . Perhaps if the Russian's knew that you and others planned on reproducing some of their excellent heavy metal then we wouldn't be having this conversation as we would already have 215% of the vote! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an idea Brian, or maybe we can start posting inspirational builds of Asian based models. I don't do "technical" on computers! I know how to look at pictures of planes and spend money and that's about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe broken down along the lines like this:  1, up to 1946, covers everything unto the end of WWII - this era is popular with many members  2, the cold war period up to the disintegration of the USSR - heavy metal at it's best, land and air!!  3, Modern Russian, and maybe former Eastern Bloc countries that are currently NATO members?  Very open type of GB that'd keep the land, sea members happy as well.  This would then cover this GB, the Afghan one from last year and quite a few others that failed in the past as well.  The idea needs some fine tuning but am happy to help out if need be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 As this GB did not qualify for 2018, it gets an automatic entry into the poll for 2019. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Just to let you all know that this one has not disappeared and that we do aim to get voted through in November. Must be something for you all in this proposal, we have tried to make it as inclusive as possible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hi all, we are still in the mix for the GB's next year and hopefully you are all still interested. As we get nearer to the vote we need to keep the momentum on this one going if we are to stand a chance of getting through the vote. There are lots of modelling possibilities in this GB and a lot of equipment that had been retired from front line use in Europe and the US to be seen in some interesting colour schemes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 Another shameless plug to keep this one in peoples minds. Plenty of scope in this GB for modellers of just about all persuasions, except sci-fi and civilian stuff. Always room for more to sign up too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't beat a Phantom, and one in JASDF markings is always good, I doubt yours will be the only one if we get through the vote, so don't forget to cast yours when the time comes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Well guys we have made it!!!!!!!!! Thanks to Enzo's executive decision on next years GB's we have a slot, and the dates for it are July 6th to October 27th (my birthday!) so if you don't have anything suitable in your stash's then now is a good time to have a think about what you want to do. If you're in the UK then Telford would be a great opportunity to get something suitable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
