I’m genuinely shock at in the navy, which as I proposed the GB I probably shouldn’t admit!


looks like I will have to dust off my airfix HMS Belfast...

 

gutted North America Aviation, Yanks Abroad and Stranger in Town have dropped. Still a really good range of GB’s currently in the top spots.

 

Regarding these two, it's my fault, I shoild do some more work to push them ! 😁

 

Said that, both GBs struggled a bit to find supporters, so they may require some vigorous advertising campaign to get back in the top 7. I realise however that there may be a bit of overlap between the two, as the first choice of many modellers for both would be some US type in use by the RAF or FAA...

ok a bit of a chart/poll update and prediction.

 

From this and the trend I've been seeing I'll go out and say that there are now 2 more (maybe 3) that you can book in for next year.........baring a mass leaking of votes. Chopper and Interceptors and I'd say very likely Scandinavian will be there as well.

 

but the race for those final positions, any of the 4 or 5 currently below the cutoff line are still in with a chance.

@JOCKNEY, Pat you can stop taking those blue pills now or else we may end up having to call you "Jake the Peg with his extra leg"!!

Crickey Rich... rolling out that old tape of Sir Rolf might tempt someone to suggest a ‘Bad Aussies Abroad’ GB.. the figure modellers would have an endless list of subjects to choose from! 
Now I reckon Giorgio’s GB’s might have actually stolen votes from themselves and if it were rolled into one would have actually got up for next year. Anyway.. the fun continues. 
Cheers.. Dave

ok we have a couple of big moves in the poll.....for some reason "in the Navy" streaking ahead even though it's a guarantee for next years builds. 

 

But the real mover is the "Vietnam GB", it's on the cusp of breaking into the top 7, keep it up folks!! :thumbsup:

It's very possible ! The two GBs however started separately, and the Stranger in Town GB was actually proposed almost a year before the other. The rationale behind them was quite different, so it made sense to keep them separate.

Funny how I mentioned a few times the concept of "cannibalism" in product lines when discussing new kit ideas and now this is in a sense happening here... 😁

Is there a list anywhere for the 'other' group builds that are already penciled in for 2020?

I can see mentions of a Battle of Britain, VE to VJ, Corsair, Panther, etc. but no single list - it would be good to get my stash in order to see what I can earmark for each GB, I might attempt to join all of them (though I make no promises about finishing :) )

.....dear god there goes my life for next year!!!!! :wacko:

 

ok back to the important and the end of the week drinking bun fight chart :D

 

GB%20Poll%20change%2015-11-XL.jpg

 

not a lot of movement for the past couple of days, just 3 members I think voted. Interestingly we had 2 votes moved or removed overnight and 1 member voted? So some of the votes must have cancelled each other out....interesting.

 

we're no at the 1/2 way stage and I reckon the top 4 GB's are in and we're down to 6 fighting for the last 3 spots.

 

The member vote is a bit down at the moment, so maybe it's time to bring out the entertainment??  

 

Arr @Enzo Matrix, @JOCKNEY time for your little number/routine to draw in the members and voters! The little pink outfits should look fine!!! :rofl2:
