Since everyone's entries are partially done I was wondering it we could suspend the limit of 4 entries for this group build. I have a range that goes from "Hardly Started" to Almost Finished"

Here's a list of my Zombies that are in the running:

1/72 B-17C/D Academy
1/72 Boeing 30 Marquette
1/48 Me-163 Testors
1/48 SPAD 13 Testors
1/48 Nieuport 17 Testors
1/48 Supermarine S6B Testors
1/72 De Haviland Comet Airfix
1/72 Macchi C.202
1/48 Rufe (Zero Float Plane) Tamiya
1/48 A6M2 Zero Hasagawa
1/48 Do-17Z Hobby Craft
1/48 Do-335 Monogram
1/48 Fokker D.VII Monogram
1/48 Bulldog Lindberg
1/48 B-24D Monogram
1/48 F2H-2 Banshee Testors
1/48 X5F-1 Skyrocket Minicraft
1/48 Fokker F.VII Tri-Moter Zvezda
1/48 Fokker Dr.1 Smer

Brad Pitt I presume! Apocalypse Z, or maybe the walking dead. Like I have any room and I'm in the same boat starting with two P-47's and a B-29.

Talk about feeling like a piker? I don't have that many in my entire stash no less already started. In fact less than half!

I see some on the list that I would really like to see being finished. Some models I am not familiar with and some that will be a great reference, given the skills that will be applied..

I did pick up on one thing though. Up to 4 kits can be submitted per BG? I have to force myself to actually 'read' or possibly understand the rules.

Crimea_River · Mar 30, 2021

Not sure I'm good with expanding beyond 4. Us judges have a hard enough time with 1 or 2.......

See what the others think.

Airframes · Mar 30, 2021

Hmm.
Expanding beyond four could lead to a precedent for the future, maybe clogging GB's with unfinished builds.
I think we should stick with a maximum of four per GB - however, there's no harm in opening a new thread, in the general modelling section, for "zombie" builds - I have a few ( OK, quite a few !! ) of my own that would happily go there.

What would be the problem with Only Members Choice??????

Hmmm? I wonder if I could get away with "Hey, the other members are building 1-1/3 kits a month, so that's why I have this sack full of new kits" with the wife?

My problem is my wife says "Just get it"...............
I'm the one refusing to ADD to my misery..........
I have Two I need to rid myself of!

My wife sometimes I think knows more of what I have than I do!

Great Idea Bill! With the kind of strange nature of this next build it would probably be hard to judge with some builds just barely started and others just needing to be finished up. I would be for a member's choice only for the Zombie build. Give the judges a little vacation.

Crimea_River · Mar 31, 2021

It's not a problem judging them guys as they will all be judged in the finished state, not how they started. Just didn't want to see more than 4 from everyone! Haven't heard from

Wayne Little and

Wurger on this issue though.

Wurger · Mar 31, 2021

I agree with Andy. No problemo if you want to give up the Members choice. However I would suggest limiting of the number of entries for each participant rather. As the previous GBs revealed that four models for everyone taking part is too many. The most of them has never been finished or these are abandoned. IMHO the two allowed entries should be enough. Just my three cents.

I was suggesting Only a members choice. Only suggesting.
I could keep it to just 2 entries, no problemo!

I will toss in my 1/48 BF-109 F2 for GB50.

Yeah what he said!

Bustedwing · Apr 8, 2021

Great choices nice variety, a couple kind of have me cornered but not a problem. I am curious though and I realize it's a bit of a stretch but for the Zombie build would a car model with an aircraft theme qualify ? I started my Datsun Kamikaze 510 a few years back and never got back to it.

Crimea_River · Apr 8, 2021

No. The description clearly says "aircraft model". I dont think the judges have any idea how to judge a car model. It's a slippery slope and we'd have to start allowing aircraft carriers and such.

Bustedwing · Apr 8, 2021

I thought so but hey, gotta ask the question !
