It doesn't state anywhere that the GB leader has to also make his own model. As said in the guidelines:
5. Once the forum is open, GB members may establish their own threads, post box-art and parts photos, start the general chit-chat, etc, before the official start date -- just don't do any work on the model(s). It is not a requirement, but it is prefered, that each modeller have their thread and/or their work started on the official start date. People may joint the GB after it has started.
6. The GBL should encourage all participants to post final photos and to write some sort of closing summary of their build before the GB ends. Two to three days after the end date, the GBL will advise the GBC that it is finished, then the GB will be locked to further posts and moved to the Completed GB forum.
But I have been encouraging people with their models, as they have been fantastic to see built up. Then again, I could make the Fw-190 now I think about it. I just have to sweep a crusty old FROG F-4 to the side and I can start.
