  • ColonelKrypton changed the title to Anything Wingy, Floaty, or run around on the Ground Thingy - older than the hills but Pre 1919 group build

I had a thought and changed the title already but I do like your suggestions.  I may use your suggestion as is or mash yours and mine together for something else but similar.

 

cheers, Graham

I was thinking of something architectural but they tend to be firmly-planted-on-the-ground thingys :crying:

Certainly fall somewhere between the big bang and armistice day though

 

Yeah and the title implies that figures are excluded too.

I can see where the title would seem to exclude such subjects but that is not the intent. 

 

A bit of a stretch but buildings do "float" on the ground however.

 

In any case, perhaps another tweaking of the title is in order.

 

cheers, Graham

Well then, if buildings are in, I do have this 1/72 Italeri church laying around...  :hmmm:

Originally got it for a hairbrained idea to use a diorama base for a pair of low level Italian F-104s.  The idea hasn't gone anywhere at this point in time and everything is still in boxes.  The whole diorama idea certainly wouldn't fly, but the church by itself would be old enough.

Thanks Graham

I suppose they can also have "wings"

 

Count me in, probably with a Japanese castle

Count is now up to 24 - that was a quick jump in numbers.

 

Due to a bit of confusion I also updated the title - removed "run around" so it now reads

How many do we need to get to the bun fight?  30?

 

cheers, Graham

Yep, 30 is the magic number for bunfight entry for a normal GB.  Once the number is achieved, ping or message Enzo and he'll get you added to the bunfight furball.  Going to be a bloody one this year.  :popcorn:

Getting close to Bun Fight time ...

 

Current count stands at 24 so a bit short of the magic number of 30, time to make some noise, rattle some chains, and stir pot to see who else is up for an interesting challenge.

 

Any more?

 

cheers, Graham

Good morning all,

 

We are now at 25 of the needed 30 interested participants needed to get to the Bun Fight.

Anyone else up for the challenge of taking on something a bit more unusual than their usual subjects and giving yourself the opportunity to play outside your usual comfort zone? 

 

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

 

cheers, Graham

That crossbow and pavaise (shield) were advanced technology in XVc Italy

 

Cool.  Crossbows I have seen but I don't recall ever noticing a shield shaped in such a way.

 

Glad you posted. Reminded me to wave the flag as it were for this proposed group build as we still need a few more interested participants.

 

cheers, Graham
