Interesting. Wonder what's causing that?

That has hapenned a bunch of times and don't know why. I even see that in my own posts then i refresh the browser and the reply tab shows up.

I have gotten lazy about adding the other 5 badges but i will eventually.

Wow! Glad to hear that I'm not the only one that doesn't finish a group build! 

Plasticjunkie, I'm not sure why, but I never the reply buttons on your posts so that I can reply to them. Not sure why that is. And it's not just this thread - it's any that I read that you've posted in. Weird.

Anyways, I impressed with the number of badges you have as well. Twenty-two and counting. Pretty cool!!

I pick and choose,so not a whole lot,I think I have been involved in 11 at FSM but sorry to say it its been awhile here.But if I join one,I always complete it.Over in Armorama,I have joined and completed 28 in 11 years ,and i'm currently in Big Cats V

I also pick a group build that fits my stash,I think once I actually bought one for a build

I think the first GB i joined was in 06 or 07. I'm probably on a 75-80% completion rate. I am way behind on adding badges to my Sig line though

Oh I always have the kit in my stash. I've never gone out and bought one for a GB. Staying focused on one build at a time is what's getting me back on track... I had my fingers in too many pies...

Despite the start date under my avatar, I've been here for 10 years. I've probably been in 50, completed the first 25, most of the next 10 and most if not all of the last ones.

One thing that really has made a difference is that about ten years ago, (yes, the crash) I only join GBs when I have a kit in the stash.

Double the motivation there.

I used to do one a year, and completed all but two of those, but haven't participated in about three years, due to lack of interest, or afraid I wouldn't be able to finish. I haven't seen badges in anyone's sig line in years as I only use a phone to look in. PB ruined my sig line, so it just got deleted, though I saved the badges.

I've joined too many and completed not enough... and have lots of partially built kits to prove it. 

But I have been partaking in GBs for probably 10 years on here now, so... some are just too tempting to pass up, but then another one grabs my attention when I lose steam on whatever I'm working on.

All listed on the bottom of my post and 5 more that I haven't added the badges. Completed all and lagging on one now due to Irma's unwanted visit but almost completed on that one.

Well, I was running in about 3-4 at a time and having a 75% or so completion rate the last few years. This year I joined about 5-6 and so far have defaulted on almost all of them. I'm really going to try to stop joining so many next year. I haven't been modeling as much and what I have been working on is mostly non GB type stuff. Embarrassed

Hi, 

None yet.  I've posted on one group build with the intent of taking part, going as far as picking out and buying the models that I will build, but I haven't started yet.  In addition, I have also considered joining one or two others.  But I have a couple ongoing projects that I want to try and finish up first. Stick out tongue

How Many Group Builds Have You Participated In, And How Many Have You Actually Completed?
Posted by Devil Dawg on Thursday, September 21, 2017 7:56 PM

I was looking at Bish's slideshow of completed group builds in his signature line (which, by the way, just simply AMAZED me at how many he had sliding through that show), and it made me wonder about what the subject line says. I think I've participated in three total group builds, and have yet to actually complete two of them in time, although I did actually finish the kits for the builds....eventually. My current group build (my third) is the Monogram Mafia IV. I'm hoping that the third time is the charm.

How about you folks?
