    Haven't cancelled this idea but there has been much going on recently!! If interest is still piqued let's decide a time frame, ask for more participants, then throw ourselves on the mercy of those wonderful Admin Gods for ratification. What say my fellow Grunts?

      I’m still interested ?

      Even with the other GBs this is a bit different so could run alongside one of them.

        I'd like to join in the fun. Does this have to start from scratch? I have modified figures that will need painting for a Dio with just one more to complete the scene on hold. Definitely will start the painting nearer the end of this year after all the final sculpturing is done. The painting would take about a GBs timeline for me.

        ​​​​​Cheers,
        Wabble

            No worries Richard, if your figures are started then so be it! My intention is just to empathise with the 'common soldier' of all times and origins - an added boost is the end of WW2 this year as well. I want this to be as easy, non restrictive, wide ranging and empathic as possible!

                      Ok. thought interest had died - may coincide with end of WW2 is a thought (but not a deal breaker). I'm open to suggestions for a convenient time span and then I'll propose it to the Bosses! Thanks for reviving the concept - give me the most acceptable time that suits the majority and I'll action it! Thanks again!

                        I'm doing the Airfix GB which starts next month and hopefully the BoB which may be running from July, but I'm sure I can fit at least one figure in(although I DO have several candidates) whenever people want to do it.
                        Of course I could just enter my next batch of D-Day GIs, but that would be cheating a bit - especially as they're already part of another GB- then again they ARE injection moulded...

                            I'm in as well. Probably will be in the midst of doing a figure when the date is decided and I'll use that as my entry.

                            Cheers,

                              Well, the following stalwarts have expressed an interest; if anybody else wants in (or out!) please say but there's no worries if you want to join at any time. I know many have signed for other GBs so my initial suggestion is a slightly extended time frame of August to end November. Open to mob rule though! So, victims so far:

                              Richard 48
                              Paul T Rose (?)
                              Paul - Minitkr
                              Tim Marlow
                              Neil Merryweather
                              Geoffers
                              Si Benson
                              Papa 695
                              Mike - Valeron
                              rtfoe
                              Paul in Kendal
                              Pigtech
                              Me - Steve

                              Just a recap - any army, any period, any format (eg Busts, Flats, Dioramas etc etc) any scenario - only caveat is they're PBI!
