On second thoughts, I now think perhaps there is a reasonable chance that we almost certainly won't make it through.

I think I'm possibly feeling indecisive this morning, but I just can't decide.

Personally- I would hesitate to go that far! 🤔

Strange, I'm usually quite firm in the mornings.

Entropy has reached the big Five-O!

Fifty votes!

Still no guarantee of making it through, but it's keeping its nose ahead of the relegation battle below.

It's like the West Ham of gb's!

That puts us into eighth place. Lately we have been as low as ninth so that's good. We can stand three GBs overtaking us and still pass the bar.  🤞

It warm's my heart to see the apostrophe used correctly like that.

Ditto!

[Bertie McBoatface]

In the last hour or so we have been in 10th, 12th and 9th places. Need I remind you that only the top 11 GBs will take place next year?

 

It's time to think about changing any votes that you may have wasted on the top or bottom runners and to consider whether you have actually voted for entropy at all. If you have amended any of your voting and didn't re-select entropy - that vote will have been removed. Re-voting deletes all of your previous votes unless you re-enter them! Not everyone may realise this potentially catastrophic quirk of the system.

Well @Bertie McBoatface I have voted throughout for entropy because I think it will bring out the innate creativity in the community in exactly the opposite of seeing 22 spitfires built side by side.

[Bobby No Mac]

Likewise, Entropy, Salty, Comfort and Karman Line have been my default choices each time because they offer something different

Nowt wrong with a Spitfire 😁

[desert falcon]

Have already voted for Entropy Bertie - in fact several times this week 🤣 

 

But I will leave my vote firm now, would really like the Entropy GB to go through 🤞

 

I even went to a railway modelshop today to look for some accessories for my planned abandoned train carriage diorama. Didn’t buy anything yet, but at least I know where to find it now WHEN the Entropy GB will start!

I hope Entropy goes through because I've chosen a build that is far beyond my capabilities and I'd like to see if I can pull it out of the bag.  Should entropy not make the cut I may build it anyway, but I'd far rather do it in the GB.

Don’t get me wrong I have a spitfire in my collection and one in the stash it is a beautiful design and quite obviously of massive historical importance. But it is very very mainstream and I do like the eclectic. There are some very talented modellers and I’d love to see what they can come up with if their creativity is unleashed.

 

Personally  I was thinking of trying to do an underwater or partially submerged diorama. I suppose I could shoehorn it into the Salty sea dog GB if it came to it…,

I only changed once, and that was only because it was ecoming obvious that one of the GBs I was supporting just wasn't going to make it

All of the others were kept as they were, including this one.

 

[Longbow]

I have voted, Bertie... Haven't had time to touch the bench in months.

Since the Sherman build group, actually, but hope still floats the boat, Right ?!

[Max Headroom]

I’ve voted entropy 👍

 

I’ve already started thinking about my entropic build.

[Bonhoff]

Voted "Entropy" at the start and picked up a Dapol 9F for my GB project yesterday...

I’ve voted, but will do so again as I changed my vote to include “small scales” and am not 100% sure that I also clicked on ‘entropy’ at the same time… Better safe than sorry! 😁

For sure the Spitfire is mainstream but, like the Beatles, it’s hugely popular for a reason 🙂. I see plenty scope for an excellent Spitfire wreck project - half-buried in desert sand, say, or crashed on Dunkirk beach. Sadly though I’m not one of those very talented modellers you refer to, I’ll have to settle for the other half-dozen GBs I’ll be able to lever a Spitfire into 😜.

 

(NB while I won’t be participating I think Entropy is an excellent idea and it has my vote!)

 

(…and nobody has worked harder on the campaign trail than @Bertie McBoatface! Not even me!)

But why not give it a go. I think that’s going to be half the fun of this GB.

When the time comes… we’ll see. I am currently sporting a ridiculous beard based on a passing conversation where I may or may not have said “oh go on then” to a question about participation in Movember. Seems it constituted some kind of verbal contract (the facial hair format was voted on by the kids at the school where I work, and it could have been worse I suppose. See where democracy gets you though, @Enzo the Magnificent?)
 

[Retired Bob]

Voted for the entropy group and haven't changed or 'U' turned on my decision, leave that to the politicians. 

[Jasper dog]

Just re-voted Bertie, it was the concours d'elegance GB you've paid for the votes for??
