AdrianMF Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 @Dansk Paul, thanks for the entry and also for thinking outside the box (or is it circle?) with the logo! I will add your name to the list. When I was away last week and looking in a model shop I spotted a Revell 1/200 excavator kit - finished size over 1m long! My wife let me know in no uncertain terms that this was way out of her comfort zone! Voting is open. Competition looks tough this year with a super selection of themed GBs to choose from.

zebra Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Looking so far like Not My Comfort Zone isn't in enough people's comfort zone. This was my third choice (obviously going to put my own two GBs in the poll first!), I think it's a great opportunity to build something a little bit different and maybe build that kit in your stash that seemed like a good idea at the time but you haven't quite plucked up the courage to build (I know I have a few of those). So come on, vote for Not My Comfort Zone (and Canadian and Emergency! please!). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Voted for this Adrian, hopefully it gets through, as its a great gb for people to ask for and share knowledge, help each other and learn and accomplish new things. All good right. What could be more positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I have a Japanese resin kit that I bought in a moment of madness at a model-show. Only thing is.... I think I would be banned from BM in an instant, if I posted any photos of it. Let's just say "tentacles" and leave it at that. Chris. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one of my voted-for GBs is above the line . This, "raiders of the lost stash" and "parliamo italiano" are just below the line. Let's get some votes out and see if we can't make people less comfortable! Thanks for all the support so far. It's nice to know that there's life beyond single seat WWII fighters.

psdavidson Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I've just re-cast my vote from the Dark Arts 😈 to here. Maybe others will follow. Vacform is definitely not in my comfort zone /P 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Transferred my vote to this one as from the Dark Arts GB. Please could I join this one Adrian. Thanks Chris 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted November 9, 2021 Author Share Posted November 9, 2021 If you are uncomfortable with vacforms, there’s a home for you here! Thanks, Adrian 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Thanks Adrian . Definitely uncomfortable, I have a couple in the stash but not completed one yet , I have cut the fuselage sections from one but that was as far as I got, the other is untouched and a biplane too!!! Might as well jump in at the deep end!!! Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjwomack Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I was on the verge of buying something yellow, but don't want to jinx things so kingkit will have to wait until after the weekend for my money 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galgos Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 The group has slipped from 55 to 53 votes and now in serious danger of not making the cut, which would be a great shame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjwomack Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I'm ready to order from kingkit and the chancellor has personally asked me to save the economy 😳. Come on folks don't let this slip away now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray S Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 What better way of learning new things than joining this GB! There will be plenty of help going if you get stuck, and just think what opens up in the Modelling World once you realise that you CAN build that thing after all! Give it a go, and join us! All the best, Ray (who is planning a double build of things that scare the heck out of me!) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I’ve revoted. Tbh if this gb doesn’t go ahead I have no idea where to put my Wallace and Grommet motorcycle and side car!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Well, I will cheer this on from the sidelines at Telford this weekend! Thank you all for voting and let's keep our fingers crossed for having an uncomfortable time next year! Regards, Adrian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Well thanks everyone for making this a contender. We will just have to post our challenging (and more interesting as a result) builds into WIP… Ultimately, I simply couldn’t compete with free beer and massages. Don’t forget to bill @modelling minion for any expenses incurred!! Regards, Adrian 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Very sorry to see this one didn't make it in the end. I'll have to try and build a few things that aren't in my comfort zone in the other GBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 I'm not sure if anyone has the appetite to try again with this one for the next year on. What do people think, given that you will all have built yourselves a boring old lovely Century Fighter in the meantime? Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Think I'm gonna try and do an out of my comfort zone in another GB Adrian like bare metal foil (I was considering on this GB) as a tip of the hat. What happens now does the GB get packed away never to be seen again? edit: our posts coincided at the same time. so can we revote for it for bunfight 2023? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll do nothing about it until the start of next year. I might just have to schedule in my PE-fest build into the Maritime section, or I could just clear out my ever-growing shelf of shame!

TimJ Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 If this had gone through I was planning either a Tamiya Honda CB750F or a Bandai Ultraman figure. Luckily I can still build them in the Turning Japanese GB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
