‘DNF’ GB ** On the 2024 Calendar!**

Post by TeeELL »

Tongue very firmly in cheek! What about a ‘dnf’ GB, the subject of the build being something that cannot possibly be built in the time allocated (Iggie excepted of course). Yes I am kidding!

About 10 years ago there was a 'Get it Done' GB on the ATF
It went well. I think I got 4 models finished off

It doesn't matter how long GBs last, there's always some who cannot complete. Over on BM where the GBs last 6 months, they have regular KUTA GBs :shock:

Now that would be a group build in which I could post a picture of my entire workbench.

We used to have a "I've started so I'll finish" section but that seems to have faded away. Stuart also suggested a GB back in 2015 https://uamf.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=11624

I remember the Get It Done GB. It was great. Another wouldn't go amiss.

I had made that assumption! The idea of starting a build to deliberately not finish it is weird - I have enough unfinished models as it is....

Yes but if you start one planning to not finish it, I bet you'd complete it in record time. Life is like that (at least mine seems to be).
