I know what a DUWK is, never heard of an animal of that name. Only official military call names please.

[Jim F]

Hi Ian,
Excuse my ignorance but where in Si. Benson's opening paragraph does it state this, or is it just your interpretation ? Having fallen foul over a comment I made on another GB I don't want a repeat experience but on the previous occassion I was told that the criteria was set by those setting it, not the moderators Can you please clarify?
regards Jim

[Ian M]

Jim. I have not interpreted any thing. I have read the suggestion and the example he made makes it pretty clear.
Quote. ....like a Tiger tank or a Lynx helicopter ... End quote .

So things that have the same name as an animal.

I think I may be able to join this one with something non-German. Like other, a reminder closer to the time will be needed.

Dave , thank you, but I only build ww2 , that's my only real interest. :disappointed:

[JR]

Well I don't want to cause a row over what's what and although Dave has found a modern Russian offering I shall sit on the side lines and watch.

Hi Everyone

Si and I are blown away by the positive response to our GB. Many thanks for all your support. So here is an update of participants to follow on from the one I did on page one.

The wildcat would be a pleasant alternative to the German stuff Dirk. Great choice
Will nudge you Paul some time in Autumn. Great to have you part of the GB
Looking forward to seeing the Hummel Jim. It will be great to see you posting again
A Mustang Pete! That sounds pretty good to me. Great to have you along for the builds
An honour to have you join us Dave. Look forward to seeing your offering nearer the time
Fictional or sci fi is more than welcome Dave. We only ask that it is a machine/mechanical ie man made or alien made :smiling:. Good luck with the new contract:thumb2:
Great to see you are joining us Richard. If you send me the tickets Si and I will pop over to see you in September to run through the finer details:smiling5:
Thanks for taking part Peter. Reminders will be posted regularly and PM's sent nearer the time

Sorry to hear you cant join us John. If you change your mind there will always be a place for you. In the mean time we will have you doing bar tending, biscuit cooking, cake baking, fire watching and general rabble control please. :smiling3::thumb2:

So here we have the updated list of protagonists

The ever hansom Steve Jones
The stunningly sultry Si Benson
The gloriously debonair Ian
The slightly poorly Allen Dewrie
The unforgettable Mike C
The ever faithful Jim
The French optimist Mike Mortimore
The brilliantly bubbly Bob "Bowcat"
The flirtatious Dirk
The northernmost of northern people Paul
The dog loving Jim
The mighty Peter the Great
The ever resourceful Dave Ward
The man with more kits than a model shop Dave
The lovingly luscious Richard
The sculpting genius Peter

So these sixteen fine modellers will be the basis of the end of year GB. However there are over 5,000 members on this forum. So if you havnt done a GB before then come and join in the fun. Even if you just post pictures of the kit and a few updates along the way it would be great to see what you are up to. So don't be shy and come and join in the fun.

Thanks for keeping the thread open for a while Ian. Can we use this thread to discuss research around our builds??

Have a great weekend everyone and happy moggelling

Steve

[Si Benson]

That’s typical, I had just written down all the names and was beaten to it....cheers Steve:thumb2:

Well what can I say..... My extraordinarily dashing GB co-host has summed it up brilliantly

A cracking response and we are very pleased to have you join in.
There’s still plenty of time if you want to join in....so don’t be shy :smiling4:
Thanks again folks

The idea in the suggestion posts are to keep them free from chatter to make it easy to find the names of those wishing to join in. But it's a bit late now for this one,
If you ask me nicely, I can open a forum tomorrow, and make a chat thread. You, or Si can then make the formal intro and you can all chat away in there.
