Round Two of the 2024/2025 GB Subject Poll - pick up to 3
Basically, I used 10 votes as the cut-off point. Nothing scientific about that, I just thought double figures was a relatively sensible cut off point.
Now I've given you 3 votes, although you don't have to use them all. The 2 categories with the most votes will go forward to the 2024/2025 GB season along with the Tophe/In Memoriam GB
I'll leave it open until the afternoon of Wednesday 10th April (UK Time) so get voting.
Thank you in advance for your participation.

"The Bad Idea" comes close to one I was going to suggest for the next poll: 'Make it Worse.'
A Spitfire with a Gypsy Major engine? (Wooksta clutches his chest and drops to the floor)
Turn any jet into a taildragger?
Taking inspiration from the Mosquito; a wooden tank?
I'll keep the suggestion on the back burner. ;D
An interesting set of choices. Any of these would have made for a good GB. The unused high scoring ones should be rolled over into the next series.

Thanks again for organising this, Chris.
Remember, vote early vote often.
Voted, and three wasn't easy: real hard getting it down from five.
Well done and thanks Chris: you're playing a Tu-22... ;)
Thank you Chris!

That's also the motto in Hudson County, NJ
Story goes that campaign workers would check the cemeteries for people who have died recently whose names would still be on the voting roles and fill out absentee ballots in their names.
Thanks for the effort, Chris! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I managed two votes but couldn't find anything else that piqued my interest enough to even remotely tempt me away from the few builds I hope to get to work on this year.
To be honest I did the same
And thanks gents :thumbsup:
If the Polar Wars GB makes it as one of the final choices, then I may just enter that GB.
Yeah, I know in the past I've probably said I'd enter a GB.............but then I didn't.
But this time, it could be different. :rolleyes:
I'll just have to wait and see.
I voted for the Bad Idea topic so I'll have to put some thought into that. Maybe extrapolate the mixed jet/prop combos into something bigger and sillier.
I have lots of "bad" ideas.
An Avro Canada VZ-9 Avrocar snowspeeder would work for both the Bad Ideas and the Polar War GBs.
;D
If the Bad Ideas and Polar Wars GBs get thru I'll enter both ;D
Already have ideas for both :wacko:
Corvette convertible on tracks and skis? Kind of like the speeder type vehicle on the first episode of the Mandalorian. That didn't work out very well!
I think most of my kitbash builds are bad ideas but they seem to work, it's only after PSR that I have discovered that someone in the RW has tried it before.

Just 3 days to go and then I'll tally things up.
One day to go gents
