[Medicman71]

So someone said that a 1/1000 Gundam would qualify? I don't have any aircraft that would work.

You could always buy a large scale aircraft kit…

   Yessir, Sci-Fi is kinda hard to give an " exact" size on...I offered the builders discresion, while a " Warhammer 40k" figure would be Sci-Fi...IMO it wouldn't fit the principle of the BSGB.
   Bring the Gundam Mm71

[Medicman71]

Ok cool! I’ll post a pic in the morning.

There’s a possibility that I could get a large scale aircraft but we’ll see.

  No worries, don't tease me with another large scale model LOL my wish list has already outgrown my monthly income LOL. WELCOME to the BSGB

I'll throw my hat into the ring with this beastie. It's Wingnut Wings 1/32 Felixstowe F.2a late. I've had it in the stash for a few years now. Now seems a good time to crack the box. I may end up regretting this.
First I have to get the Ta-152 across the finish line for the FW-190 GB, and the ground work for the Stuka. THEN, the Felixstowe! My goal with this has always been to build a ramp into the water in which to place this. We shall see

[armornutii]

   Welcome aboard a total stress free GB Thug626 aka Dave. I want a WW kit so I'm excited to watch this come together.
    I created ALOT of time on this GB so nobody has to feel pressure to finish in just a few months. Enjoy the build plenty of time. Also got ya on the board so.....now ya gitta build it

There’s never been any stress with this site! It’s all internal and self imposed. I’ve shied away from dio/vignette settings. It’s time to place the subject in context. Stay tuned…

Cheers

Well this is just freaking cool. I’ve always thought the Felixstowe was a really nifty aircraft. Can’t wait to see this one from wingnut.

[deafpanzer]

Man, this GB is going to be blast!!!

[armornutii]

    I hope I'm a good host, there are a couple things I think I might be forgeting, and I need to figure out how to make badges available. Yessir it is better than I expected. Thanks to everyone onboard...and those not yet here c'mon, ain't nothing but a big pile of plastic.

[kyledehart5]

It’s a blast so far. Did some more work on mine yesterday!

One of the great things is the huge range of different subjects. Just about every possible genre is covered in this build.

[moparman18064]

I have a 1/8 Grip John Player Lotus waiting to be built, maybe this will kick my butt into gear, also have 1/12 Testors Countach started

    Plenty of time to build both . I'll add you to the roster. Welcome aboard, no stress and have fun.

[keavdog]

I'd like to add this to the BSGB - 1/6 5 cylinder radial engine. Caveat - no glue, no paint.

   Updated roster to add this. Andy's HHQ has a similar offering that I have been toying with buying. Being a retired A/P mech, I think it would be fitting to have in my display. Power forward Keavdog

[keavdog]

Just started this 1/8 MPC Trail 70 and realized it could qualify for this GB.

[project510]

Oh sick! Lets go!

    As host of the BSGB I would like to hear some feed back as to how it is going so far. Has the long build time made it easy to participate or have you lost interest in the subject? 
       I also want to thank everyone for their patience on the individual badges, life and other distractions have kept me from doing my do diligence and getting them available.
       So that being said ........lets bump this thread a bit and thank you all, I really hope you are enjoying the build.

[stikpusher]

I haven’t lost interest, but I’m still up in the air as to which subject to build…

I like the idea of long term build like this one. It can be good for beginners, so they can participate at a slower pace. Those builders (like myself) who get short periods of working time at home can also participate. Or maybe someone who wants to spend a lot of time on fine details or adding extra stuff to a big kit can do so with less pressure. I would not want all GB's to be this long, but this was the perfect category to do it I think.

Personally, it will allow me to do things I have never done before, or have done very little of so I will get more experience. 

Happy building everyone!
