2022 GB Bunfight Poll

[Dansk]

Awesome. I gotta get me some australian storage and build up my stash even more.

 

Isn’t that the first red (minus numbers) stat there? Its just the beginning of carnage 

 

Would it be rude to point out Terrance is spelt wrong at this point? 

 

 

In the mid 1990s I was lost in a desert when I thought I could see an Oasis...

But it was just a Blur.

Leopard tank?  I'll be the piranhas aren't pleased about sharing.

My dog used to chase people on a bike a lot. It got so bad I finally had to take the bike off of him

There were a couple of drops the day before, just whetting* the blades.

 

 

*Whetting == sharpening

I met this lovely Dutch girl with inflatable shoes. I gave her a call to ask her out but unfortunately she’d popped her clogs…

You must be busy in the build up to Christmas with all these to write on small bits of paper to go in Christmas Crackers 🎄

Time to suggest some move of votes? I have posted in my original thread that the Railways GB looks as if it will not make the cut. Therefore you might best use your limited number of votes to promote other GB's. Perhaps Railway themed builds could fit into No My Comfort Zone or Big and British. For thise who voted Thank You and remember you can always post railway builds in

it would be good to see more activity there and 30 builds in 2022 would be great.

Ok the update..........will be short as I have a beer waiting for me!

 

Not much to report except I finally have that rotten cut-off line in the right place..... though I should move it every so often to scare people! 

 

Again if you an't got 30 or more votes....we not even Viagra going to help you get up!!

 

 

 

Good to see Big and British still past the line!

Ok, the STGB....... and yes the spelling has been corrected......but who's to say mistakes won't be made again! 

 

Equally not too much in the way of changes......... we need bloodshed and we need it now!

 

 

Now off to have a long bath and a few beers!!  🍺

Come on Do17! We're so close! If neither medium bomber gets through, I'll be quite disappointed in the selection this year, especially with two American cold war jets having got through without going through the Bunfight on top of the F5 in this. Happy about the Meteor being top, but I'm more likely to just watch that one rather than build. Fw190 is probably the only one I'll actually build something for if the results stay as they are

Yeah What if we'ld do that

[Trevor L]

How do you change votes?

Is there a way of removing your vote from one build and placing it against another?

my 0,02 $ Maybe because Bomber/Strike/Ground GB is a kind of catch all, so people are less inclined to vote for the medium bombers because they will be able to build them there anyway? With The F-5 the kit releases from last year might have been a factor as well (although I don't know much abou kit releases of the medium bombers in contest.)

Bomber/Strike/Ground is going to get plenty of entries from me mostly Vulcans.

As far as the medium bomber kits go, Ju88/188s have a decent number of 1/48 kits listed on Hannants, but only as far as I know the Revell kit in 1/72. Mikromir recently announced a 1/72 Ju388 but don't expect to see that for a while. Do17s are much better, in 1/72 you've got ICM Do17Zs and Do215s, and RS Models early Do17 variants. In 1/48, ICM do Do17Zs, Do215s and Do217s. And of course vintage kits for both aircraft families

That looks like the Greater Manchester COVID-19 infection rate chart. Just needs red and green arrows to show rises and falls in rates. 

Enjoy your beer bud.

This is all getting far to serious!

 

Which is precisely why people should vote for What If IV, not at all serious, any old nonsense can go on there!

Go into the voting options at the bottom of the poll, update your choices (making sure you vote for What If IV), and the poll will update itself.

This whole thread is an annual farce, the yearly @trickyrich power grab, with @Enzo Matrix trying to herd the rest of us into some sort of order, yours truly wheeling out the best Dad jokes I know, with @Col. & @modelling minion sitting in the corner giggling over the use of the word “Bum” and special blue pills.

BUMFIGHT!!!!  

 

Why do ducks have feathers?

To cover their butt-quack.

 

Why did the bum get a slap ?

Because it was being to cheeky

 

2 old people sitting on a bench one turns to the other and says my butt fell asleep the other says yep i heard it snore a couple of times

 

If you are American in the living room, what are you in the bathroom?

Euro-peein

 

So a bear and a rabbit are in field, the bear turns to the rabbit and asks, “does your poop stick to your fur?” And the rabbit replied, “no” and the bear then picks up the rabbit and wipes his butt.

@Adam Poultney for those of us who can’t churn out multiple large bombers every month this is all harmless fun. Already thinking that my Belgian F-104 would have to have some bombs if it’s going to fit a GB in 2022, but the Italian F-104ASA hasn’t got a home. But then the Belgian F-104 may have to wait for a F-4 bomb truck or even a B-1. The Canadian F-104 looks like getting built.....  or the Danish Hun.

 

I don’t really mind provided there is a place to build some of the things in the stash in the schemes I want to. 
 

And yes these are all Cold War jets but not the F-15 or F-18.

The Century Fighters GB is still in the top 7 so the F-104s should qualify for that.

Keep thinking I can do multiple models in a GB but I can’t, and the Danish Hun has missed Nordic II...  maybe I can do two widow makers at once. 😀  But there’s the Bone that’s been in the stash since the last century...  that could take most of next year.

I met a lactose intolerant beaver the other day. He was telling me about all his dams. He said: ’I’ve got a dam for every letter of the alphabet. I’ve got 25 dams.’ I said there are 26 letters in the alphabet. Turns out... he doesn’t have an edam.
