bianfuxia Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I'll happily join this GB - practically everything I buy is less than ten bucks! Most of my stash is in shipment at the moment but by the time the GB gets rolling I will have had ample opportunity to look through and choose a few things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 Thank you to everyone who has voted for this GB proposal. It seems to have done pretty well so far. If you signed up for this GB proposal but haven't voted for it yet, could you please use one of your votes for this GB before Monday? Less Than A Tenner 1 was great fun and hopefully we can have the same amount of fun (or even more!) next year with LTAT2!

PlaStix Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 Wahoo!!! Last night this GB proposal got through the bunfight and into the Group Build calendar for next year! Thank you to everyone who voted for this GB - it was in the top three places throughout most of the month of the poll....which is fantastic. A big thank you to @Enzo Matrix for organising the poll. This GB will take place from Saturday 15th May, 2021 to Sunday 5th September, 2021. So plenty of time, well five months, to search through the stash looking for those unbuilt cheap kits!! I'm going to have a look through my stash over the next few days to locate anything I bought for less than £10 and I'll post up details of what I find. What is everyone else thinking of building? Just a reminder from the first post of this thread: The basic idea of this GB is that any kit can be built in the GB as long as it cost you less than £10.00 - or the equivalent thereof in the currency of the country you live or lived in - to purchase. This will hopefully mean we get a wide variety of Out Of Box (OOB) builds made without the need to use any aftermarket items. A question arose in the thread before about using things like bits from the spares box which should be fine - as long as you don't purchase £20 worth of decals and then just claim they were "in" the spares box, etc. The kits built can currently cost less than £10 (or equivalent) to buy or you can build something that cost you less than £10 back in, say, 1970. If you have the receipt still or the price sticker is still on the box then that is even better but not a necessity for taking part. However, it would be useful if you purchased the item in a sale, at a real knock down price, if you did have the receipt or the sale/reduced sticker is still in place. In the spirit of the previous GB it will be expected that people are honest about how much they paid for the kit. Someone suggesting a 1/32nd Tamiya Spitfire cost them £4.50 back in 2008 will be looked upon as going against the spirit of the idea of this GB. The question of presents/donations also arose - it doesn't matter that it was free to you, as a present - it's what it cost the person buying it - or what it was originally worth.......it should really be worth less that a tenner to be eligible. The spirit of the GB is to build something cheap, plus enjoy the build and the company of other modellers building cheap kits. The preveious version of this GB was absolutly brilliant and you can find it here - although, unfortunately, some of the photos have since disappeared. Kind regards, Stix 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wimbledon99 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Haha, All good thanks Stix. Hope the same with you. Not sure what Santa's bringing me but my birthday is March so I'm sure I'll be able to engineer something for one of the GBs this year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul821 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I am about to send off some Airfix Flying hours, as the postage is under a tenner would a higher series model come in as under a tenner? It would be as valid as a charity shop purchase 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Gordon Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I've these three to go at,the Hobbyboss F 84 is £6.25 on the Creative website.I paid £21 for three of the Scots Greys in one box,that makes one of them £7.The one in the bag will be revealed at the start of the GB but Big H has one listed at £9.98. Looking forward to this one,it's going to be a good giggle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I'll be building a Hobby Boss F-5E in 1/72. £7.33 from that nice Mr Kingkit. However, there are plenty of other things in The Stash which qualify. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
