Cool!! I'm certain to have kits and decals that'll work. Don BradG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbk57 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Group builds are not really my thing. Nothing against them, I have never done one though. One thing I heard mention of a while back to do for something different is a time limit challenge build 24 hours, one week or some other short period. Anything you want as long as you build it fast.

Robthepom Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 If I,m honest I did the multi engine GB because of the prizes, and I didn’t win anything haha i would do more if I have a kit in my small stash and I do like watching the others I,m not involved in Rick Griewski and Winnie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GBs i don't participate in i have to confess i don't check in often. Maybe include a link to the WIP? Don That's exactly it....... that's one thing that bugs me the most about GB, but don't get me wrong, I love doing some, there's always a nice bunch of good people with nice encouraging and constructive comment, learning new tricks, etc.. I Just finish one of the two entry I did in Cold War GB, encouters a few finishing problem, got discurage at one point, but had good feedback and options to overcome those problem with very good result, thanks to you guys. To me, showing a finish model is my treat, dont need any price nor is a competition, juste doing my best to takes good pictures for everyone to see all the works done..... That's where is my problem, there is very little or no traffic at all in those GB gallery, you got that right Don. I'm always heager to participate, depending of the subject of course, but when it come to this part, it brakes me a bit too often to finish it on time..... and if I'm not mistakin, it never shows in members article. It's not my trend to comment like that but it's my two cents, ''Finish models should always end up in RFI'' Dan. AlbertD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertD Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I've thought about joining a GB but don't think I would like the pressure of a time frame. I get enjoyment from taking my time and working slowly. I may jump in on one now that I'm retired though. MikeC and Daniel Leduc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 We can always publicise the galleries a bit more, although if you wanted to, when you finish a GB model, make an RFI post too with the link back to your build thread, that's fine with me.

I think Daniel is hinting at the fact that we actively discourage posting finished GB entries in the RFI forum, which would make the GB galleries pretty much redundant. It also relates to our policy of not allowing duplicate content (ie, the same post in multiple locations in the forums).

To be fair, they've never been properly codified, but certainly mentioned regularly. I'm OK with having one solution (GB galleries) or the other (posting in RFI), but not both. Having said that, I'm in the back seat these days, so it's really not my call! Kev Daniel Leduc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 My feeling is that completed GB entries should be posted in the RFI section, they'll get a bigger audience there, a bit like my Lightning which missed the end date and is now in the WIP section where more people will be aware of its existence.

Avenger2614 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 My main reason for not participating in group builds is rather simple. . . I have no practical means of showing my work! After going through a "divorce" of sorts last year, the only online access I have is either via cell phone or through a work computer, neither of which allow me to publish photos to online forums. It's not that I'm not building (notice I said building, not finishing kits. . .), I just don't have a viable way of showing off my work due to not having a personal computer. I used to use PhotoBucket, and some of my older builds can be found on the site, but since PB became the largest photo pain-in-the-ass, I have largely dropped off the earth on this forum, aside from checking the Trader's Forum daily for my next project. Hopefully next year will bring some changes and I can return to being a regular contributor here, and I'll find my way into a group build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Leduc Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Or, just move the GB Gallery right under the group build section on the front page ..? it would be a lot easier to drop by for every one to see and would generate a lot more traffic.....
