Welcome to the 2017 forum GB's

[Ian M]

So here we go again! You all groan... Wrong!


for those that wish flexible, pre planned GB's, we have decided to do away with all the tedious polls and throw you all in the deep end without a life jacket!


Polux will shortly post the calendar so you can all see what we are on about. You will observe that there are only themes. Very open themes, that can be interpreted in many ways. As long as the base subject you are in the clear.


We hope that this, together with the user suggested GB's, give everybody the best of both worlds and that we get some great builds going.

can of worms time.................


please define 'muscle car'


i know of an american forum that went in to melt down over that argument lol lol lol

[Ian M]

please define 'muscle car

A big Fast American car designed to go well in a straight line, but corners like a wet paper bag full of jelly.....if you want my definition


other than that, I suggest that you grab a copy of muscle car magazine the next time you are in the news agents.

There you go...I knew somewhere down the line I had read you and Polux were going to publish a combined list for future 2017 builds. 


Excellent list too!


Now, where's my life jacket........


Yours,

Hi Ian and Polux,


First off great calendar, 


I have tried to find the definition for Lorrie, but am a bit confused - so a lorrie according to the free dictionary is a 

1. A small cart or wagon moving on rails, as those used on the tramways in mines to carry coal or rubbish; also, a barrowor truck for shifting baggage, as at railway stations.
   
   
2. A motorized wheeled land vehicle, esp. a large one, with a cab for the driver and a separate rear compartment fortransporting freight; called truck in the U. S.
   

So my question s it a Railcar or a Truck?


Also with the Military GB and Civillian GB - will those be decided later?

[spanner570]

Bob, it's a road going wheeled vehicle. It's called a lorry here in Britain.


Can't help with your second question, sorry.

Bob I think it's ANY of the above for ease and scope for everyone to join, you choose what Lorry, attack helicopter etc you wish to build.

Thanks Ron, that clarifies it.

Thanks Ian, makes sense now.

Bob we call them trucks,18 wheels that type of thing,

[Ian M]

And there was me thinking that Australians spoke English. I guess that I could have said Truck, but then people in Scandinavia would have built a fork lift, LOL
Ron cleared it up quite well. Might have helped if It was spelt correctly as well  :$


The Military GB and Civilian GB, At the bottom to which you refer is just the key: Green Military, Blue Civilian...(Over Kill? LOL).


Right then. As I said in my opening post. Something for everyone, A bit of everything for everyone and subjects that are very open.
 

[PaulTRose]

can we have a definition of 'attack helo' please.......is it a dedicated type of help such as Apache, Cobra or Tigre?..............or something like a Navy Lynx armed with torpedos?......or even an army Lynx or a Bo105 armed with TOW?

[Ian M]

can we have a definition of 'attack helo' please...

A helicopter that attacks things....? 
Seriously: As long as it is armed to the teeth and not a cargo carrier would be my guess.

Ian mate, would these three qualify? They are all heavily armed.
