I think our problem might be that Canadians are too nice to indulge in the traditional GB blood-letting! And in again! We made it! Now for a couple of requests - would anyone like to co-host please?

PlaStix Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Hi Zebra. I only own one kit that was going to be suitable for this GB, but I thought I was going to be building it in the Leopard STGB. As we now sadly know, despite @modelling minion’s best efforts, the Leopard STGB didn’t get through the voting. So, if it’s okay with you, can I please build it in this GB?: Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackG Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Putting the the GB banner in your signature can act as quick reminder for the build date, but understand some members don't like the 'clutter'. regards, Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes it a lot easier for newbies like me to keep track. Will do, as soon as the dates are finalised. @Enzo Matrix has proposed dates that don’t work very well at all for me (and also I think for @JeroenS who has volunteered to co-host) so we’ll see if it can be moved. if it can’t be moved we’ll probably need another volunteer for co-host - I’m expecting to be away at the tentative start date in July and then very busy at work through to the end of August - so it’ll need someone who’s available during that time. Any takers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Jack, just waking up here, and was on my phone so couldn't see signatures. The new one you've done is brilliant - lets go with that - although I'm hoping we'll be able to change the dates! Many, many thanks for doing it cheers Julian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see what happens, I'm still up for co-hosting no matter the dates, we'll just have to make it work somehow. But I imagine a swap can still be done.

JeroenS Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I will build this. It's incoming from a second hand site, though still sealed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Cool, no problem about the banner dates as the artwork is saved as a working file. All elements are separate, so can easily alter the dates if necessary. regards, Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 @zebra There was some doubt about the dates for this GB. Are the dates acceptable? The reason I chose that date was that the GB will start on Canada Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I chose that date was that the GB will start on Canada Day. Thanks Enzo. Canada Day does make a lot of sense as a start date (I had no idea it was Canada Day - I have absolutely no connection to Canada, just thought it would be a good theme and fancied building a Chipmunk and a CF-104!). I think we should take the dates we have, we'll make it work. Since my capacity to host it might be limited during the first half of the GB, and it's also not a great time for @JeroenS who has volunteered to co-host, perhaps a third co-host would be a good idea. Would anyone like to volunteer please? Might be nice if one of the hosts was actually Canadian! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
