Well, Col, I may well take up your offer. I would be concerned that it breaks the rules but on the terms you set out I guess everyone would accept it. To be honest there is little more to do now. At present I am awaiting the replacement decals. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul821 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Just had a notification that I was mentioned in the thread post about those who have signed up. I will now sit this one out as I have a project on the go that has eight build waiting and none of them have any connection to Africa. They will find a place in either unarmed or not injection GB's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pity Rich but your two projects in the ANZAC GB are deserving of your full attention and I know how busy GB moderating is 3 hours ago, RidgeRunner said: Well, Col, I may well take up your offer.

Perhaps we need an Inspiration Gallery thread where we can display our previously completed eligible projects 2 hours ago, Paul821 said: Just had a notification that I was mentioned in the thread post about those who have signed up.

You do realise that, just as you look to the work of others and wish to emulate their standards, there are many who look upon your work as an inspiration and wish to emulate your standards? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Right gang, I'd like to consult your opinion on something if I may; We have the long established 25% Rule by which any eligible GB project must be no more advanced than that stage. It's a perfectly fair rule that has served us well and I'm not looking to overturn it. What I would, however, like to propose is that we accept more advanced projects into the GB which will still be excluded from the final poll but instead can be displayed in a different gallery upon completion - perhaps along side other previous completed projects in an Inspiration Gallery. Does anyone have strong opinions on this they wish to air? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The renovation of our appartment building has been postponed for at least six months, and the building plan/order have been reversed. So I just got a whole year to continue building my kits before I have to pack up everything. So I can participate in this GB after all. I'll start a WIP thread with either a MiG-17 or a Mig-21 as soon as I have found the kit in the stash. /Bosse - who's wondering about a Braai for this GB. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have strong opinions on this they wish to air? I think it is quite ok to have builds that are greater than 25%, it helps make the build a bit more inclusive and could help some stalled builds. I'd be happy to take it to 50% and make a judgement call on those that are greater. Having a separate gallery is a good idea...... though I can see poor old Admin (aka Ezno the Great.... has anyone seen him of late?) being busy moving builds around the gallery for those who may have stuffed up in gallery posting!!!

JOCKNEY Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Hi Col Are you keeping track of what countries are being covered in Africa by the GB subjects so far ?

vppelt68 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I tried for five minutes to find an online list of African countries in alphabetical order. I found several, but none of them was a list of pure text only, without a link to <something> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 If we could encourage @JeroenS into this GB he performed miracles in the recent Heller Classic GB as far as recording and tracking builds was concerned. I'm confident he would know a way to do this. The best I can think of with my Luddite IT skills is start a list in alphabetical order on a separate pinned thread, each person adds their build location to form the list.
