2021 GB Bunfight Poll

[Bbdave]

Well I've voted being a relative newby I've ticked the boxes which would be covered by the few kits I own. I doubt I'd get 9 things built in a year I'm not sure I've ever built 9 models total 🙂. But nearing the finish of my fist GB im looking forward to trying more next year.

Nice one, although there’s more flags there than I know of.. 

OK African GB hosts, lets see you do something similar hey! 

Cheers.. Dave

Vote 🇧🇪 🇳🇱 🇱🇺 too - the geographic group builds are not mutually exclusive, but great fun and offer a lot of variety, n'est ce pas? 🇫🇷 aussi, et 🇦🇺 🇳🇿.

(No I'm not going do what Dave suggested while I was typing this, and I'm not the Africa GB host either )

[Rabbit Leader]

I voted for all these ‘Nationality’ type GB’s as I had so much fun during this years Nordic GB. It really opened my eyes to plenty of cool modelling subjects I’d never seriously considered before, however one warning.... it does nothing for stash reduction! 
Cheers.. Dave

It certainly doesn't! I keep having good intentions of reducing the stash then a great GB comes along and the stash just keeps on growing.

Just think of all those small LHS that we are keeping afloat in these trying times!!  I know I'm doing my part.....now I just have to convince SWMBO that my buying is for the greater good of small businesses!!!

I didn't realise just how altruistic I had been over the years, I'm just a born giver!

Just a fair shout out to anyone reading this. The ANZAC Group build is more than Military subjects. It covers anything from both countries from there birth as Colonies to the modern day.

I very much doubt the forum will allow me to post that many flags in one reply

I voted for things I’ll actually join & finish.

 

Which meant 4 votes, fingers crossed!

I'm still not entirely sure i understand how the bum fights lead to GBs here but there are so many interesting options. I used up all nine of my votes. But if I had to choose one from each group, it would be Double Deckers from the first group (I assume the reference is to biplanes) and ANZAC from group two.

Only four votes used? We need the Britmodeller GB Bumfight equivalent of the Emission Trading System - in the last days of The Fight, you could do big money with five surplus votes

We go back n forth through November willing people to vote for a group build. As of December 1st the top nine builds on @trickyrich’s spreadsheet will get to be in next years group builds. Enzo Matrix has a set of nine time frames all ready set. On December 1st and the following day or two past it Enzo Matrix and the Nine Group build hosts will figure out the dates. Then Enzo will announce the next years list of Builds and Single type builds once its is set.

....and finally it's here........the first results.... they're up there already for everyone to see but here it is easier for us simple folk! 🤪

 

And gee have wee been busy little beavers/Britmodellers!!! There was a huge flurry of votes as soon as it opened, unfortunately this latest version of the forum software doesn't't now show me how many members have voted! So I will not be to give you the average number of votes cast. In previous years the fun amounts have not been used, last year with the choice to use 7 votes we averaged 5 votes per member, so this time I reckon the average will be around 6-7.

 

EDIT ---- other being shown that hidden number we are averaging 7 votes per member, so I was almost there.......yea Holy Spreadsheets!  

 

Surprises....well only 3 of the current top 9, but it's way to early to say much yet. Last year it took 8 days for the lead GB to cross the magic line, that was the "in the Navy" GB, which was the #1 choice and ended up with 93 votes. Will it be beaten this year?

 

OK so after much ado I present the first offical result chat for the 2021 GB poll!!     

 

 

**** I take no responsibility for any errors.....they'll ether be down to my glasses are dirty, or I've had too many beers!

Rich, on my side (Chrome browser), I can see number of votes - in that horizontal bar on the top of the poll - on left side it's written "2021 GB Bunfight poll", and on the right side of that bar it says (at the moment) "87 members have voted" - although that is written in dark grey color so it's a bit harder to notice.

Thanks.....I can see it too, just, gosh it's hard to see!  

 

Will blame Enzo for making it so hard to see........probably not his fault.......but will still blame him!!!!

Interrupted two girls with their knittin'
He said, with a sigh,
"That park bench--well I
Just painted it, right where you're sittin.'"

would I do that!!!

So at present we should all be looking for unarmed, racing coloured French high wing planes stationed in Africa made from resin that cost less than £10...

How else would the Nordic GB be above the cut off line?

Mr Kipling does some amazing French Fancies for less than a tenner.
