My candidate is this Jet Provost T.4 starter set purchased from Lidl just before Christmas for the princely sum of £4.99. by John L, on Flickr Hi John and great to have you here! Fine choice of subject too and going to Lidl before Christmas to look for these kit bargains is becoming an annual tradition these days!

If we get this GB through the vote i will look forward to seeing you Bristol F2b in progress! On 23/02/2020 at 17:25, Yetifan said: Hi Stix, been offline for a while but count me in for this. I have some cool old Matchbox kits that need to be built, I’m assuming I could do three in one go if they all added up to less than a tenner 🙂 Hi Yetifan and great to have you back then!! You could build them all as one project but it wouldn't matter if you built them individually - as long as the kit costs less than £10 it is allowed in this GB. You could, for example, build several kits that cost £9.99. There's no limit on the number of builds as long as each individual kit cost less than a tenner. If you check out the last time this GB ran (link in my first post in this thread) you'll see several modellers built many kits during the GB. @Speedman built so many I gave up counting after the second page!!!

In fact you are number 46 on the list!! If you check out my first post in this thread - at the start of the third paragraph I stated: The basic idea 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. It's okay to work it out at what the exchange rate was at the time of purchase too - not just the rate now! 6 hours ago, Corsairfoxfouruncle said: I did ask but never got an answer ?

Just thought it was funny that you had actually 'liked' the reply you thought you hadn't received. Sorry you are having such a rough time of it at the moment and that life's stresses give you a break for a bit. Take care.

PlaStix Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Hi all. Can I tempt anyone else to sign up for a cheap and fun GB? We've got 46 modellers signed up in just over two weeks - which is fantastic - but there’s plenty of room for many more!

snapper_city Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Thanks for the invite. I don't get on the forum much these days unfortunately. Mostly down to no pc to upload pictures from. For this reason I won't be entering but I'll defiantly swing by to offer moral support. The last less than a tenner GB that I ran was a great success. In fact it was one of the largest attended group builds in forum history up till that point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I was just thinking....with the current exchange rate for the Aussie $, a Tenner must be worth oh at least $1000 Aussie dollars now.....so us lot downunder can basically build whatever we want....many times! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anatol Pigwa Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I have a question for this GB @PlaStix. How are parts from the infamous "spare box" treated. I.e. I have some decals left from a previous build, as there where several markings in the box. may I use them or will this count as cross-subsidising? Same goes for payloads, aux. equipment figures etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for payloads, aux. equipment figures etc. Hi Marcin. Mmmmm….. tricky one. It depends on how fair people are with this. If it turns out it's mostly a spares box project with these spare parts being worth a huge amount of money, with a small, cheap, bit of a kit in there somewhere, then it's a no. If it's a cheap kit anyway - say £7.99 and a few decals and a couple of bombs/rockets come from the spares box - then that's fine. The basic point of the GB is to make something really cheap. If the project becomes worth double the tenner as a result of using spares, then that's not in the spirit of the GB. Hope you have a kit you can join us with?

Ozzy Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I've put in a bid on an Airfix Short Sterling for under £10, fingers crossed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Hills Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I learnt something there. It seems ‘the bun fight’ involves voting for your chosen group builds. Will keep an eye out for when it happens 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
