Bertie McBoatface Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 We lost a couple of votes overnight, I think. And lost some places, winding up in joint 11/12 place on 40 votes each. I have a feeling that everyone who was ever going to vote Entropy, had their names on our list already. And I have to admit strong-arming a few wavering recruits over the months leading up to the bunfight, who have since found easier challenges. It isn't over yet, there's still another week of polling, but I recommend having a back up plan. There's no reason not to build the scrapyard dioramas as ordinary WIPs? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone else wants to take over the job of writing the encouraging comments for the next week, please go for it. Will it change anyone's voting? Probably not. Don’t be disheartened mate. It’s still a fantastic idea and most original gb idea probably ever! I not sure but theirs a hard core of people here on this thread who’d really like ‘this thing of ours’ to go ahead so even if it doesn’t get through the bunfight what about we organise a thread, less formal than a gb, on the work in progress section (problem is what section?) which anyone can go into and start their build, not a gb with a time limit but a entropy work in progress (paradox or what?)? If I’m suggesting something wrong or breaking rules here then please shout @Enzo the Magnificent that’s not my intention it’s just to see if another Collab of modellers can exist elsewhere in the forum without a time limit etc. No sign ups, no poll or final gallery but lots of rot and rust. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the spirit. We wouldn't even need a single thread. All we would have to do would be to follow each other's builds and then we could drop in and comment as if it was a group build. We could find each other by tagging the build Entropy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just the way that things used to be done before the Groupbuild forum was formed. The groupbuild forum simply brings people together and gives a sense of structure with a nominal build length. If you still wish to build your models with the groupbuild community, there is another option. A couple of years ago we ran a "They Also Serve" groupbuild. This was a seperate GB forum which lasted all year and was for people to build models which would fit in the proposals which didn't make the grade in the bunfight. It hasn't been requested since, but if you want me to set the area up, I will do so. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 The wonderful thing about britmodeller gbs is that if yours doesn't go through, the chances are you can fit your build theme into a number of others as theres loads, with several running simultaeneously. so you could have a rusting wreck in desert camo, or a decomposing wreck at the bottom of the salty sea, or a crashed starfighter in southern europe guise and locale, or something in 144 scale or in 1/32 scale, or a sci fi build: a rusting at-at carcass, etc etc. comfort zone probably covers all! in a way you can't lose. so enjoy 😊 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackroadkill Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Come on, Bertie, it's just getting interesting. Remember: anything can happen in the Bunfight - and it usually does. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor L Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Entropy had dropped 1 vote on Rich's daily poll, but has since picked up 2 votes. There may be a bit of movement in the next few days, but we're still in a good position to make it through. Don't throw all your rust pigment away just yet! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foods for thought Maybe a possibility here but should probably see what happens at the end of the bunfight. As many have pointed theirs still time and any thing could happen. What do you reckon Skip @Bertie McBoatface? Thanks to @Dansk Paul that's a fair point you made their. Thanks all, Paul 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 I reckon a winner always has a fallback plan, just in case, though he doesn't often mention it to anyone. A loser never does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill1974 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I'm itching to build my destroyed leopard and have been preparing and buying all sorts of paints and powders and scouring the internet for inspiration pictures and reading / watching youtube videos on replicating damage, this is still on, although it might not be in a group build...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Cassidy Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Is it difficult to convince the admins to create a sub forum space? Would they be amenable to setting up a section titled Entropy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they be amenable to setting up a section titled Entropy? Apparently not, see @Enzo the Magnificent's comment above. At time of writing we are on 44 votes which is a 10% increase over last time I looked. Unfortunately we are falling into a mid forties bump on the waistline of the @trickyrich chart. We may yet settle above the belt in the sunshine but if necessary, we now have openings below in which we can do our rusty business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 Lacking technological interest, I've produced the only chart that matters to me. In pencil, even! It's still too soon to crow but Entropy may now be above the contest that will be fought between the six proposals currently between 37 and 43, for positions nine. ten and eleven. We need to hold our current 47 and pick up a few of the fall-out from the no-hopers to the left and the unnecessarily over-subscribed to the right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
