2015 Group Build Poll
« on: January 02, 2015, 07:11:16 AM »
Ok folks,

Time to vote for the Group Builds you would like to see for the next 12 Months (or so…).  I have listed all the ideas that have been proposed here.  Some may have been re-worded slightly or consolidated/broadened where deemed necessary (e.g. to consolidate similar ideas or to broaden to allow for wider inclusion).

You have 5 votes and you can change your mind if so be it.  The poll is open for 2 weeks.  Please feel free to lobby hard for your favourites.

Timings etc can be worked out after we have down selected.

Please free to ask any questions.

Kind Regards,

Greg

Votes cast.  Gotta say: even the one-line descriptors in this list are so intriguing as ideas that I took a screen capture of them for future inspiration, regardless of how the voting might turn out.

Added a self-critical note to actually join in the GBs this time around instead of merely being a spectator. 

Looking forward to what you all whip up from your fevered imaginations in 2015!

I started an Italeri Hawk three years ago, an S Tank two years ago, a KGV, Marder, F-23 and Hellcat last year.  Been desperately wanting to get one finished, preferably the Hellcat, soon but have been prevented by my inability to sit upright in a chair for more than about ten minutes since I fractured my spine beginning of last year.  Ironically, prior to that I was time poor due to work and family commitments, now I have all the time in the world....just cant win.
