Any thoughts? Maybe it would help me get going on something again.

I haven't put any thought into it yet Mike, do you have anything in mind? The next GB won't be until next year so we have plenty of time to think of something good, all suggestion are most welcome.

I still haven't finished the current GB, nor do I think I'll be able to since I build so slowly! :o ;D

I think I'll excuse myself from starting a new one until I finish all the models I've started this year.

Unfinished / stalled builds?

Yes, that's what I need!

Stalled builds would give me a myriad of choices  ::) That being said I would rather wait a while and see what WNW produces as well as other Manufacturers in all scales. JMHO,

I think that we need something more precise, than "unfinished". Such a topic could cover every model and thus the idea of GB would be lost. Just think, that buying a model you certainly open the plastic bags, look through the instruction, check your references - is it not starting a model? My point is, that every model we buy is already started. It is so with me, at least.
The concept of the current GB, just about to be closed, was perfect. Precise and simultaneously quite wide. I would suggest something of similar format. For instance: British Scouts, or scouts in general, or from a selected period (e.g. 1918). Pfalzes sounds fine, but gives a little bit limited choice. Just my 3 cents.

Since we will be entering 2016, how about 1916 scouts or reconnaissance?  Lots to choose from there.

Maybe something that allows the Camel to be included?

I'm sure there would be a lot of interest...

How about all Sopwith aircraft?  Schneiders, Tabloids, Babies, Strutters, Pups, Tripes, Camels, Dolphins, Snipes, some colorful options to choose from, especially in French, Italian, Russian and Polish service.

I'm a very green newby and I was hoping to join the group build next time.

From my point of view it would be very helpful to be told as specifically as possible what to build, and then, hopefully, use the forum to get specific hints, tips and feedback - sort of like a mini building course!!

However, I realise that most members are experienced and would feel constrained by being too specific.
