For the second one we could start a new poll with the 3 themes which got 3 votes. Or your vote as the boss could count for 2.

I’m going to argue my corner for “out of the box”
-lots of options
-plenty of high quality kits out there that have it all
-you will already have one in your stash
-supply issues with COVID are really screwing supply of extras
-should result in a quick build with less chance of going stale
-What can you do without relying on turned barrels, PE, resin and AM tracks?
-should be cheaper
-focus can be on paint and weathering
Happy for others to rebut this.....or change their vote :D

And anything "out of the box" would fit any other category as well. So 2 choices in 1. :lol:

OOTB won't be much of a problem except for deciding what to pick :lol: :lol: :lol:

Would adding a base or figures be allowed?

I think it should be, we could even make it mandatory if you like?

I'd say we keep a base and figures voluntary, but how about we limit the latter to OOTB styrene sets? Resin figures are sort of aftermarket as well :lol:

Alright, little bumper, lest anyone forgot to vote...or change his vote :lol:

While we're at it, what's your preferences for the duration? Two builds over 12 months tend to lose a bit of steam after a while I noticed. Maybe we should try 6 months for each topic, with the second starting on July 1st?

6 months seems suitable for each GB.

My 2 Cents. ;)
