O.K. here's the place for any general discussions including regarding the rules.

Chris
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

And in previous discussion the mods have determined that hovercraft and ekranoplans ARE eligible.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Do we get to ask questions yet?   :-X

First up is, I'd like to request a ruling from the mods on entering my Porco Rosso Savoia S.21.  I didn't realize that it would be a perfect fit for this GB so I started it, but got no further than cutting the main pieces off the sprue and giving the cockpit interior a single coat of paint.  It's been sitting untouched for a few weeks as I've tried to focus on getting my Sci-Fi GB projects finished... and remained that way in anticipation of this request.

All current work can be reviewed in the build thread - http://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php/topic,44187.0.html
Thanks!

Greg

Yes, questions are OK now. We'll cogitate on your S.21 and get back to you.

We've discussed it &, if that's as far as you've gone, it's a unanimous "Yes, you may enter it" from the mod's. :thumbsup:

Yay! I would like to thank the academy for their consideration...
Thanks!

Oh, no! We're just GB moderators! The Whiffy Academy is a whole different kettle of fish! ;)

Can I also respectfully ask one of those fine moderators to move the Savoia thread to this GB section?
Thanks!

Greg

OK, I'll give it a try.


Remember, no more work until 00.01 Wednesday 1st November 2017!


Later: Sorry, strobez, looks like I can't. I'll chase it up with Chris.

Yeah, we moderators may be 'all powerful' within our own GB area, but for REAL power you need a Global Moderator.  ;D ;)

Guy ignore my PM I replied to yours before reading this thread.

Looking at the stash I have an ideal candidate for this GB. Problem is, is that it's a vacform and I've never built one  :o

I may well start it and take my time with it whilst working on something else.
