I'd be up for it.  My budget for new kits is pretty shot this time of year though.  Would it be okay to send one of the un-built kits from my collection?  I can't do any small scale kits anymore so I only do 1/48 and 1/32 scale.  I really prefer 1/32 but I don't have a lot of those in my collection.  I love military aircraft, especially WWII era and early jet aircraft.  I don't do biplanes anymore.  My cat has a tendency to think they are large bugs and no good ever comes of that.

Yea, you can absolutely send something from your stash, that is what I am probably going to do.

 

So I believe that makes 6, good.  Anyone else that wants in post, I am gona keep it open untill the 23rd of October.  Id suggest everyone that is in get the kit you are willing to send and have it ready to go.

If you ARE in, I want you to Email me at smeagolthevile@gmail.com and tell me a few things.

 

Your Full name.

If you are under 16 please have your parents E-mail me with permission to do this.

Your Address including Country.

What Genre you enjoy building the most and will send out. 

Any Genres that you have alot of but are not the genre you are sending out.

Any Genre you have NEVER built.

and anything you seriously do NOT want to get.  (like if you hate tanks, dont want you getting a tank)

Right now only 3 people have emailed me, Ill be honest, these things dont work that well with small numbers so unless we get atleast 6 participants I think think this is going to work.

Luckily, there's a ton of time left before the holidays. :)  Did you try crossposting it in some of the other forums?  I'm guessing some folks may only check a couple of forums.

even though its frowned upon I posted in every forum about it.

 

The thing is, while it is a while till the holidays these things normally work like this... Sign up in or before October.  Mid November is the end date to ship out items and the 25th is open them day.

I thought I sent you an email? Must have gotten shuttled to your spam box or something. I DID email you though.

Yea, I got like 3 people responding, which isn't enough, and of those only one sent a second reply with telling me who they were, their forum handle, instead of real info.

Im disapointed, but last one I did here had alot more people too..

Smeagol.

No offence, but if this ones goes the way of your last GB (armour Secret Santa) I wouldnt put my name down for it either.  I just "re-visited" that one, and the final post was made by me in February 2009.  Thats only 2 moths after Xmas !  I dont know who finished and who didnt, there are no completed pics of anything on Page 1, where the host (thats YOU) should put them, and indicates who has finished/who is still building. 

There's  more to hosting a GB than putting a post in the GB forum.  You have to keep people motivated and interested, and shepherd the participants over the finish line.........eventually.  If you dont have the time to do that......maybe stick to being a participant rather  than a host.
