Feeler Thread for a No More Excuses GB: Part Deux - Updated Rules

Posted by macattack80 on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 8:22 PM

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a GB for those kits you started a while ago and then put back on the shelf to collect dust?

This GB would be based on Wyoroy's GB from a few years back.

I was thinking of running starting it around November 2011, or later if requested, for a year.

-Any kit that has been started then put away would qualify

-Any kit that was entered in any other GB that wasn't completed within that deadline would also qualify,started or not.

-Any subject or scale would be welcome.

-If your excuse was being intimidated by a new genre of modeling, have no fear here! Bring it!

-Any project you put off because you didn't feel like getting to that dio/vignette would qualify as well.

Instead of a photo of the sprues, post a pic of your started kit covered in dust or the name of the GB the kit was supposed to be a part of or whatever you got!

Let me know what you think. This would be my first time hosting a GB so any suggestions are welcome.

Kevin

Hey Kevin! I participated in Roy's GB (which was very satisfying to finally finish a couple of my shelf queens) and I'd definitely be interested in participating again! I have a few more queens that have been sitting for faaar toooo looong!!! However, I'm sort of booked for the next few months due to other GB's I'm in...a January start date would work better for me. Just my 2 cents

Anyway, I hope this GB makes it out the door! Good Luck!

Thanks for your interest in the GB.

It seems like a January start would be better from the feedback so far. This GB will go for at least a year so even if I start in November or December it will run until next December.
