helios16v Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I think it's a novel idea and worth revisiting. Was really hoping to see this one, WHIF, & Raiders make it. On the flip side, I don't feel too many obligations going into next year so I can just wing it as I go. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray S Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I think we should give it another try. After all there are loads on here saying that they have bought a kit and are too scared to build it for one reason or another, and this would give them a chance, and get guidance on the way too! I will sign up again if you decide to try. Ray 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfoot Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I really liked the idea for this GB, I’d already lined up what kit I was going to get if it got through. I’d support it again if you decide to retry it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I was disappointed this didn't make it this year, so I'd sign up again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattheCat Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Quite disappointed. I would have liked to be in with a first try at a short run (aircraft) kit. Well, next time maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob S Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Bugger! And I was looking forward to building the Revell 1:200 BWE! 2023? Maybe if I don't sell the "Builder" kit I have in the mean time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 I'm still off licking my wounds and having a bit of a sulk I will resurrect it mid next year and see how we get on again. I still think it's a great opportunity for people to broaden their horizons. But I suppose that, ironically, if you are prepared to get out of your comfort zone, you don't need to! Thanks, Adrian 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 It would be nice if there was some scope available in the GB voting to allow some of the more unusual topics to grt covered rather than the same old same old each year, but then its a popularity contest so the same or similar ideas will always get the most votes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjwomack Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 2023 is the earliest that repeat of the 'Anything but Injection GB' can be proposed for an encore. I had been toying with it, but I've decided not to put up a proposal so as not to detract from this. The irony is though that peeps who do vac-from, resin etc probably find it quite comfortable and so it won't garner many votes for this one- unless they all try these new fangled IM kits!!

JOCKNEY Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Come on @AdrianMF This is far too good a subject to be left in the also ran pile. Ladies and gentlemen, let's get our collective fingers withdrawn and get this one over the line in its rightful place for next year. Cheers Pat 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just pushed myself with a motorbike kit (and deliberately chose the more challenging of the two bikes in my stash) and I'm very satisfied with the result. I've still got a few kits that scare me slightly so I'd definitely be up for a group build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 i hope this is gonna get a reboot soon @AdrianMF. im just buying a kit right now for this GB. I'm that confident in it... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted June 6, 2022 Author Share Posted June 6, 2022 I will resurrect this one soon! I’m starting a century series fighter (no propellers!!) so I’m in training already! Regards, Adrian 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattheCat Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Hello @AdrianMF, I still have the same one and only short-run kit in my stash waiting for such an opportunity (Azur 1/72 Renard R-31). Or maybe I'll go for something with wheels or tracks instead of wings. Regards. Pat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spadgent Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Ooooh! Is this Actually going to be a thing? I’d like to join if I may. I have an idea of getting some old universal monsters modelled and painted. I love the films from the 30s And although I don’t have kits I’ve got my eye on some .STL files that are up for grabs. 3D printed and not even aeroplanes. Does that count? “Count” Gerrit. 😋🧛🏼♂️ Johnny. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjwomack Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 My understanding is that as a comfort zone I'd a very personal zone it can be anything that challenges your one. For my part it's the paint yellow; strange but true, so I'll do something with a lot of yellow in it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 Thanks for all the support and interest this has generated. Sadly I don't think I've got the time and energy to push this through and host it in the near future, so I will let it lie this year. If anyone wishes to take it forward, be my guest.

AdrianMF Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 Well, after some reflection, I’ve decided to shoot for a 2023 slot if I can get one, despite having a bunch of work, domestic and health issues on the go. If I can’t set an example by being out of my comfort zone, then how can I ask my brave band of volunteers to vote for it? So please do vote for this GB and ignore the skullduggery and underhand campaigning from other, less deserving, candidates. Remember, if you don’t vote and we don’t get in, you won’t get that “why on earth did I sign up to build this?” moment sometime next year! Everything to play for… To the barricades, you know you want to, Adrian 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 This thread attracted me because I often feel like doing something different. So, I skipped all the posts above to get this end and register my interest. I'm in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
