Title: 2015 Group Build Poll
Post by: GTX_Admin 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 (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=5014.0;all).  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

I have a kit and concept lined up for Korea, so fingers crossed it makes it. All five votes cast!

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.

Votes submitted. 

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!

Voted.  Hopefully get back into the GBs once I can clear some space on my bench which is currently swamped in all things Ratte.

Vote in, hoping like heck I can combine some of the GBs into one kit ... a cashed up Arthurian knight flying a VTOL 3 wheeled nuclear powered super Sea Fury floatplane over Pyongyang maybe?  :o

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.

Have a ship kit picked out to be 1/72 gunboatish build for Floaty/Ship/Naval GB.
Last gun boat not finished but learned from it.

Besides good ol --- Clear Your Bench  (make it a default each year?)

Floaty, ESL, Vertical, Left Earth Behind are good bets to be thinking about.
Title: Re: 2015 Group Build Poll
Post by: Volkodav on January 09, 2015, 05:30:58 PM
Yes definitely, probably should be the last build of each year.  Maybe we could have some staple builds and intersperse them with original build concepts with a degree of overlap.

This was the case in earlier years but it slipped off the radar last year (mainly because we had other overlapping GBs).  I am happy to make it the standard, End-of-Year GB if people want it.

I would support this being the annual year-end GB.  Of course, for those intrepid builders among us that always finish what they start, we could have another GB going concurrently with Clear Your Workbench so they wouldn't feel left out.

Well the people have spoken and I will put a consolidated calendar shortly.  I only have one question:  Do you want the Clear Your Bench GB to be first or last this year? (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=5098.new;boardseen#new)
Title: Re: 2015 Group Build Poll
Post by: GTX_Admin on January 18, 2015, 04:00:07 AM
Taking the results of the poll, I believe these will be the GBs for the coming 12months or so:


I will plan on each GB being for 2 months (with possible extensions). 

You will note that the last two might be tight to fit in - this can be done if we have some overlap though.

I will also be looking for volunteers as GB Moderators - speak up now!

Now, about none of my recommendations being down selected… :icon_punal:
Title: Re: 2015 Group Build Poll
Post by: GTX_Admin on January 18, 2015, 11:12:03 AM
Ok, we have one GB Moderator sorted - Mike (aka Cliffy B) has volunteered to moderate the Floaty/Ship/Naval GB.

Now about the rest...
