      Ya know, I've never done a GB because I've usually been tied up in something else and I hate leaving anything undone. I do have a few balsa kits that have been begging to get done, though. Yall are tempting me,............................ Na, but I'll be on the sideline rootin yall on, how that be?

            I'm afraid I won't be able to join. This is way off my experience levels but I will be watching with great interest and hopefully.might learn a few things.

            Good luck everyone

              Hmm. This is a difficult decision. And I don't necessarily mean from me.
              I joined the Racing Vehicle and Star Wars GBs, but couldn't post anything for 'technical' reasons. And here will be the same. So, I'll have a build but nobody else will see it!

                Which 'technical' reasons are preventing you posting Chris? Is it the forum or is it your end?

                  Simply put, our new PC
                  1 - Refuses to connect to teh intraweb properly - there's some new setting in there we can't switch on/off, even though the software is a clone of the previous machine
                  2 - It no longer recognises my camera as a valid USB device, even though it knows it's there and switches the camera on - the old PC had an integral memory card reader, so that solved that little piece of solution... If the bloody machine worked properly we'd just get an auxiliary reader

                  So, that's me unable upload any pics of three Churchills, the Honda RA272, the as far as I'm along with the B-Wing, and the Thunderjaw. So far
                  Maybe I'll scratch for a laptop or summat

                      Hi Steve. The failure to connect properly isn’t being caused by antivirus protection is it? I had infuriating problems with my iPad due to a clash with Norton 360 VPN protection and the native software VPN protection. Turned off the VPN protection on Norton and the problem went away.

                        If I had a smartphone. Or any kind of mobile. Which I don't. And only once in the last, ooh, thirty years have I ever actually needed one! :tongue-out2: Is that the tight laugh emoji, or should I just write 'lol'?
                        Social media? Mobiles? MY twenty-first century was supposed to be flying cars and moonbases... Well, so long as the moon wasn't blown out of orbit...

                        We've been thinking it could be something like that. Except... Use an ethernet cable, it's fine. Wifi connection upstairs from the hub, no problem. Take it up one floor to it's usual and former location, it connects for about fifteen seconds, then it says 'no internet'

                        Okay, apologies again for the thread hi-jack, but thanks all for pointers and possible pathways to progress. Ha! Let's see accurate AI alliteration alike that!

                          As I'm going down my rabbit warren of possibilities, what are the exact rules please? Is this absolutely anything that isn't injection moulded? So dioramas, resin figures, metal figures, or does it have to be something built?

                            I has to be a kit but just not the injection moulded even figures but they have to be constructed in some way ie just gluing arms on would in my view be OK

                                So you just lost all the scratch builders there Pete.
                                3D models or figures are very often one piece as the tech allows this to be possible. Are they also a no no.
