Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 The Bunfight is approaching fast! This year there will be nine STGBs and nine standard GBs. Nevertheless, the Bunfight will be utter carnage! There will also be two classic GBs which run for a month longer than standard. Of course there are also the three Blitzbuilds. Below is a provisional list of dates for the groupbuilds. Note that some of this years GBs run over into next year, thereby raising the GB count for the first few weeks. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 ...Just like the groups of Flying Fortresses grinding forward on those unescorted deep penetration raids to Reich airspace in 1943; imagine all that Jagdwaffe in the air, more and more Staffeln circling the bomber formations to gain altitude and then relentlessly attacking head on from twelve o'clock high... Oh, didn't anyone mention there's a B-17 STGB in the Bunfight 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 There are times on that calendar where there are 9 simultaneous group builds. It's going to be a great year for spreadsheets, critical path analysis and all other forms of project planning. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my semi New Years resolution is to only build one build for each GB I enter next year (far too late for that especially as the Prototypes GB is going already set to trample all over that thought) so nine should be err fine. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Crap, I totally forgot about KUTA. I actually did a bit of painting this past weekend on a kit I started 8 some odd years ago...or has it been 9? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psdavidson Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Spreadsheets don't help. You have to maintain them. That just eats into the time available for starting yet another kit for the shelf 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just eats into the time available for starting yet another kit for the shelf Sacrilege! Admittedly most of my spreadsheet fiddling happens in between projects at work or on lunch breaks. Most of the time I'm accessing at home is to check existing AM or paint codes when getting setup for the next build to see what I need to order. Or to check to see if I "need" another kit I found on sale for a planned scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will also look at the limits and tell me when is the best time to start another unplanned project. Saturday, by the way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdavidson Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 That's not a spreadheet. I've used project plan apps at work with less fuinctionality 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I make a punch list with good old pen and paper every so often. As you can see the Taube that was in the last KUTA will probably be in the next one 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
