Okay, What I've gathered (besides mold, dust and rust) are the following suggestions...

1. A Great Britan GB - anything British
2. A Helo GB
3. A Space stuff GB - Real or Sci-Fi
4. A Single Kit GB

Have i missed any?

Here’s an idea that’s the complete opposite of the single kit GB idea… :hmm: How about a “Build anything” GB. Since we all have different tastes, stashes, interests, finances, etc., the kits would be whatever the member wants to build. The whole point is to get everybody building something… anything… but build and participate… just build within the time limits of the GB. :grin:

That could work - buy something you've fancied for a while or dig something out of the stash that been sitting there for eons and build it.

We have done that.

Here we go. You should be able to add threads with your builds. I'll try to keep up with the entries.

Rules. Follow them or a large, smelly guy with a crooked nose will be by to talk wit chew.

RULES:

THE "GO AHEAD AND BUILD SOMETHING ALEADY" GROUP BUILD

It would be a GB that basically has no rules. That is the only rule.

* Any genre - SciFi, ship, boat, lawnmower, automotive, armor, airplane - civie or military, one wing, two wings, no wings (Helo), trucks, rail, small boats, figures (0-9) and dioramas. Anything

* Any material from belly button lint to resin or left over food in the fridge.

* Any scale. Yes, any scale. from . to really big

* You can use paint, glue - any type, crayons, tape, string and scissors.

* The kit can be in any state - percentage complete that is.

* Here is why. You must build

a brand new, not in the stash kit
a kit from your stash
AND finish two or more kits from your "Shelf of Doom", "Shelf of Shame" or "Shelf of Someday"

Time frame - STARTS Now, ends December 2017 or when the Cubs win another World

Sounds like our GB themes are starting to repeat themselves... :hmm:

Hey, I'm already doing that with my own Group Build; just check out my Maddog Manufacturing threads from the past to see what I'm talking about!

Has there ever been an F-4 Phantom GB around these parts?
