Enzo the Magnificent Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Here is my preliminary draft for the 2022 groupbuilds calendar. Some GBs were already grandfathered in, so they haven't moved. It have attenpted to take into account a number of factors: No similar subjects running concurrently No GBs with the same host running concurrently Some GBs have an obvious start date - hello, Canadian GB. If there are any major issues, give me a shout.

Adam Poultney Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Dates for Big and British should work for me. Might not be here much towards the end as I'll be finishing my first year at uni, but it nicely encompasses the Easter break when I can build, build, build and build 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Well done @Enzo Matrix, I won't fit in all I'd like to but there is plenty of options & who knows, I might surprise myself. Time to start planning. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Thanks @Enzo Matrix but the timing of the Canadian GB isn’t great for me - will be away at the start of it and then go into a very busy period at work so won’t be a very good GB host during that time. Would anyone like to swap? Maybe @Adam Poultney this slot would work better for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly are - as long as you have the time in amongst all your other GBs!! I think you've become Britmodeller’s professional host! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've become Britmodeller’s professional host! I should be ok, though I also have the Revellogram co-host slot. Yeah I think you're correct, this is going to be a full time gig next year. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Just update the Holy and Most Sacred Spreadsheet and all is good with the world for next year, no craziness with build all stacked up like this year, only 7 GB/STGB's for me this year! Had 12 build this year!! May even have time to build a monster, a "Car door" conversion of a 1/32nd resin Typhoon maybe??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Gidday, I'm down for Big and British, Falklands and Turning Japanese. I've also got two builds on the go now, one of them in KUTA 2021. I think I'm going to have a VERY busy first half year. But I imagine that it will be impossible to arrange a program that suits all - I'll go with whatever is ultimately decided, and be grateful to the hosts for running these. Best regards, Jeff.

Rafwaffe Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) Can you shift everything to start from 1st of Feb? No? Ok. It’s going to be a busy year from the get go when I get back from deployment! I may not fit it all in but I am looking forward to the challenge. With the matchbox beaufighter I just won on a certain site yesterday, I’m going to use my time here to plan and hit the ground running when I get home.

Bertie McBoatface Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Organising the calendar is a brilliant example of the principle that you can't please all of the people all of the time. Any calendar and any subsequent changes will be good for some folks and bad for others. Most of my chosen GBs are in the first half of the year so I'm thinking 'WIPs in the Winter' or I might go 'out of my comfort zone' and join a GB that I wouldn't ordinarily have chosen in the second half. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
