2024 Definitive Groupbuild Calendar

[Rabbit Leader]

Looks like the Three ‘Frog’ Musketeers are back!! Well done V.P, glad you’re happy to go around again. I think I’ll just stick to the two classic kit GB’s next year unless another gets through that I’ve already committed something for. 
 

Cheers.. Dave

Dave, I'm still waiting for your build(s) to tribute your Maltese ancestors. Hint hint, the Allied, Axis & Co. Twins GB would be perfect for that . V-P

Sounds like a Bristol Twin and Ju 88 would be quite appropriate, all readily available in the stash too!

How did you guess it was just those two I had in my mind too

I thought V-P was going to get you to build 2 halves of a B-17, one half Allied the other captured

That’s an interesting proposition, what about doing two B-8.5’s from one B-17 kit, should any of the WHIF GB’s get up!

I don't host any STGB:s in -24, but I wish the P-51 STGB and the D-Day 80th Anniversary GB wouldn't overlap a lot. V-P

I think you are going to be pleased.

Yes. my egregious mistake, always great to have such a diplomatic proof reader on the team. Of course I meant the next year for which we have to decide our anniversary GB themes, as everyone else probably realised. 🤣

[Enzo the Magnificent]

Okay, the STGB dates are semi-finalised.

 

GB                    Start                  End

F-84 STGB        Sat, 27 Jan 24    Sun, 28 Apr 24

P-51 STGB        Sat, 9 Mar 24    Sun, 9 Jun 24

Tiger Tank        Sat, 30 Mar 24   Sun, 30 Jun 24

F-35                 Sat, 1 Jun 24      Sun, 1 Sep 24

F-86 STGB        Sat, 24 Aug 24   Sun, 24 Nov 24

Honey/Stuart   Sat, 14 Sep 24   Sun, 15 Dec 24

Mirage III         Sat, 28 Sep 24   Sun, 29 Dec 24

 

You may notice that the dates are somewhat different than shown in the first post of this thread.  This is because we had to jiggle the Tiger tank and Stuart tank dates to prevent them from overlapping the D Day GB too much.

 

Thanks to all the STGB hosts for helping out.   

 

Once The Bunfight is over and all the blood has been cleaned up, I will replace the calendar graphic with a finalised one.

No need to rush out and buy one this week then. Phew.

 

As usual, thanks Enzo for all the hard work that you claim to have been doing behind the scenery. 🤣

It was the STGB co-hosts wot did all the heavy lifting.   I'm sat here with a glass of Specky Hen, watching Neighbours.

What are your neighbours doing? Do you have binoculars? Does the mad one across the street know you do this with chickens?

Not my neighbours.   It's too dark.

 

Neighbours.  In Ramsey Street. 

 

I don't have binoculars.  I do, however, have a telescope.  However, it's no good for watching the neighbours as they end up being umop ap!sdn.

 I actually look a bit like him; twenty-three years dead.

[Black Knight]

Ian Dury is dead?!?

When? No one told me!

I liked him in that cowboy series 'The Virginian'

Didn't like to say anything.  Was just going to turn a blind eye to that ..........

Okay folks, we're getting close to a definitive calender for next year.

It’s a work of art, Enzo! When it’s finalised, any chance you could make a copy of the Excel sheet available?

   Not sure if the forum software allows uploads of anything apart from graphic files.   I'll look into it.
