You are correct Ian, I just checked the rules and if it was not actually built then it is not eligible to be entered into the GB. Sorry sardaukar, I was letting my enthusiasm get the better of me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanJ ok I never saw the 'drawing board' comment in the description on the Revell site I didn't think pzIII had much in the way of paper panzers. I instantly started looking for a pzIII wirblewind 🤔, seems they didn't go that far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm building a couple of assault guns. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f matthews Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 1 hour ago, Retired Bob said: Hi and welcome, all you need to do to join a GB is, when the GB opens, start a new build thread with an appropriate title, you run your thread with other members posting questions, giving compliments or answering questions. When you update your thread, it goes to the top of the GB list so that anyone interested can see there has been new content. Don't worry, it's all straight forward and there are lots of helpful people on here should you need it. Hope this is helpful, just have a look at some ongoing GB's to get the idea. Look forward to seeing your build in just over a week. Thanks! Pardon my stupidity, but does that thread go in the “Work In Progress” under the AFV Modeling Forum or is it posted in the Modeling Forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that makes sense. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the Panzer III Gb isn't open yet, by the 6th of February you will be able to access it, underneath the GB banner on the right hand side will be a black rectangle with the white wording "Start New Topic" pressing that is how you begin, you add what you want as your title, press submit and you are off. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hi @sardaukar and welcome to the STGB. I have added you to the list in the first post of the official GB thread here: As @Retired Bob and @Bonhoff have already kindly mentioned, in Single Type Group Builds, like this one, there is usually a rule that states, unless a vehicle was actually manufactured, then it's not eligible to be part of the GB. There are usually 'What if' GBs that this sort of vehicle can be built in. I hope you can find something suitable to build if you still want to take part. Hi @f matthews. As @Retired Bob and @Stef N. kindly mentioned, the place where you can start your WIP thread will appear in this section: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/forum/106-current-groupbuilds/, during the next week - when Enzo gets chance. And then from Saturday 6th February you can actually start your build. I'm looking forward to following your build of Dragon's Ausf.J. Kind regards, Stix 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Looking forward to this. Got a couple of Stugs in the stash but they're looking very popular so I'll dig out my Ausf L gun tank. Andy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 Hi all. Only a couple of days to go until we can start building our kits!! Judging by the threads already started, it looks like we are going to have a wide range of Panzer IIIs and StuG IIIs to enjoy watching being made, in 1/72, 1/48 and 1/35, from an interesting range of kit manufactures. There's some rather nice aftermarket items going to be used as well! I can't wait for it all to get started!! The Pz.III STGB area can be found here: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/forum/722-panzer-iii-stgb/ KInd regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
