Group Build Subject

[DieselGriff]

I think I've captured all suggestions so far. I suggest we leave this open until the weekend - we'll need another discussion\Poll if the TBA options are voted the favourite.

[Eric Mc]

I've gone for option 2 as it has allowed my 7 to be included. It would also allow other forms of racing cars such as Indycars.

I'm not against an Armoured Vehicle either.

I expect cost is not such an issue as it was for the first GB as that was an attempt to get people back into modelling or modelling for the first time and we didn't want people spending a fortune and then abandoning the project.

[perdu]

I have a racing car kit already but I don't mind

I'm away for a few days so I will pick up later this week

Let's go for it anyway

has to be fun

[dr_gn]

I went for "Racing Car" becasue it seems to cover F1 and possibly "Sports Cars" too depending on the difinition.

I'd go for the 1950's Merit Alfa Romeo 158 assuming I can get or make some wire wheels for it.

Racing car - so I can attempt the Tyrell 6 wheeler

I'd be interested in watching that build.

[Red Firecracker]

Gone for racing car as well, but could we include all scales? I've a bunch of 1/43rd kits that really need building.

[Eric Mc]

It looks like cost is not a consideration this time.

Also, the last group build has as its motive the oppoprtunity to share techniques and help each other out if one of us had a query or problem. If we include resin or white metal kits, there will be less oppotrtunity to do this.

I would suggest that we don't include 1/43 models this time round. I've nothing against them as I've built a few on the odd occasion but for the moment I would stick (not literally) to a basic plastic kit.

I've a couple of 1/32 models in the stash as well so would like it if the scale range was expanded to 1/32.

I've tried 2 different online shops - both out of stock?! I'm kicking myself as Bealieu had 3 or 4 when I visited a couple of weekends ago...

I wonder if there's a conversion set to allow you to build the launch version (with airbox, flat sidepods and no tyre windows)? My Dad built a Western Models white metal version just after the launch:



Just considering whether it's worth spending more on the 'photo etch' Japanese GP version. It probably is...

[Eric Mc]

"Speed and Power" magazine had a fee cardboard cutout model of a Tyrrell around 1973/74. That would have been a "normal" four wheeler.

I'm going to keep on trying, but placed orders twice only to get the out of stock notice....

Bought one from evil-bay - hopefully it'll be here soon enough Now the search for colour photos of the exact beast begins!

[The_Jackal]

So is Racing cars confirmed?
Is someone doing a starter thread with the rules and start date?
Just picked up a Tamiya Brabham BT50 for £14 from the Midlands Model Expo today, so that will be my model (and first F1 car since I was a teenager lol)

[NismoGT]

I guess racing cars is the subject?

Can it be confirmed so i can get a kit ready?

[DieselGriff]

Sorry for the delay - I will create a wiki but not sure when as my work connection is very slow so it may be tonight.

Subject is confirmed as a 1/20th to 1/25th scale racing car snd GB to run until the end of July actual end date TBC.

Each person to create their own thread with GB: <make> <scale> <model> as subject e.g GB: Tamiya 1:20th McLaren mp4 4

[Negative Creep]

Ill be up for this one. Whilst i do have a Martini Alfa 155 to make, i'm sensing a potential fail with the decals so will probably attempt something else

Good stuff - once decided add your name and subject to the wiki, also if we could direct any discussion onto the chat thread (stickied) we should be able to keep it all together.
