i have a sneaking feeling you wont be able to resist this madness paul!

already thinking of what stalled builds ive got and what i can do with them

but like all GB's it depends on the 'when' and 'what else is on the go'

You bunch of nutters!
Well I guess we all knew that lol.
Six months sounds fine, but there are quite a few other builds starting I January, what's the consensus for moving the start date?..

Well...no military stuff and it’s the perfect GB for blow up your own imagination....
I’m in Tony

Stop the pigeon, or "Stoppa duvan" as it was called when it aired here, was shown a couple of years later here in the land of lap-dancing so I'm almost too old to have seen it...
...but after watching that youtube clip I remembered some of it and all of their weird and bonkers contraptions to capture that pigeon - which always ended up in failure and a dog with a chain smokers voice laughing at the end!

It's certainly a bonkers built that would fit my sense of humor but sadly my spares parts drawer is full of German tank bits and not a single piece of air plane or similar. Not a single propeller or jet engine
Perhaps this can all be fabricobbled with plasticard and brass? It's a GB that you can be a bit more relaxed when building for sure!

I'm going to study a whole episode and refresh my aging brain and see if I get any ideas and get back shortly with my eventual participation!
Perhaps you don't need any large pile of airplane parts to pull this off?
Regardless it's a fantastic idea for a GB and one I'd love to join if I felt I could do it.

I'm in favour of leaving it at Jan.1st, but instead of just 6 months, how about the full year like some others?

Bit late now, but thinking about it, is there really a need for any set start/finish date? (apart from the obvious Jan/Dec.)
Given the full 12 mths. would leave G.B. builders free to build what they want, when they want, depending on their personal circumstances.

Full year is fine by me , i always struggle with finish dates anyway!

[Guest]

For me too...

I'm happy with a full year also, I hope this one goes ahead, this is going to be the main kit if it does.

But there will be many changes

[Guest]

Nice one Ian!

I will do it equally....the idea is brilliant, I thought

[Guest]

After some careful and not so careful thinking I've decided to join in on this bonkers GB and will try to cobble up my own flying contraption in the style of Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines!
Mine is going to be more or less a full scratch built one as I have zero airplane parts at hand, but if I find a suitable donor kit that could change...?

Anyhow, I'm in!

Cheers jens , im sure not having any aero parts in the spares box wont be an issue . I think that most of us will be using quite a lot of unusual objects and materials too , wooden spoons , tea strainers , goldfish nets -you name it im sure we will see it! The cartoon nature of the subject too means that anything goes so there really are no limits ! Thanks for joining in , nearly got the required amount now! Cheers tony
