White Wolf Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) Hello, July 1st 2014 will be the 60th anniversary of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, would anybody be interested in a Group Build next year to mark the event? Any subject that was/is in the JGSDF, JASDF, or JMSDF since 1954 would be applicable. Edited October 4, 2013 by White Wolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RKic Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Yes, yes, yes, and YES!!! I've got phantoms, I've got Type 74 tanks, I've got eagles, I've got star fighters. Oh, this will be a good one. I propose you set it up to end on the date of the aniversry. Would be a nice dedication to the men that served in Japan's post-war defense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spejic Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I'll take part. With something a little different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
White Wolf Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Yes, yes, yes, and YES!!! I've got phantoms, I've got Type 74 tanks, I've got eagles, I've got star fighters. Oh, this will be a good one. I propose you set it up to end on the date of the aniversry. Would be a nice dedication to the men that served in Japan's post-war defense. So, January 1st 2014 to July 1st 2014? From the GB Calendar there'll be 3 other GBs going on during this period, plus more later when March comes around...would it be too packed a schedule for everyone?

Litvyak Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 January to July might be a bit densely packed for me, what with helping mod the Aus-NZ GB, plus planning on taking part in the ASW, Bare it all and Bad Boys GBs... How about starting on the 1st of July instead? Kinda appropriate, I think... the JSDF started on the 1st, the GB starts on the 1st...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Anybody willing to volunteer to be a mod for this GB? What do mods do, besides set up the threads? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
White Wolf Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 What do mods do, besides set up the threads? Dunno. But we always seem to have 2 or more mods per GB. Just keeping with tradition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Being a mod is easy. Just keep the GB in sight. The mod should talk it up any time someone posts in his/her GB. Compliment or critique as you see fit. The more traffic you provide the more successful a GB can be. Its "nice" to have prizes at the end of a GB but that is certainly NOT a requirement. Look at some of the recent GBs. The ones were the moderator talked it up seem the most succesful. The ones were the mod tended to be pretty quiet had much less business. A nice banner at the bottom of your posts also helps to advertise. You have a great idea with 20 "yes" votes in a day or two. You should get lots of business. Just up to you to keep it visible. Other things the mod should do (once the GB is started) is start and "pin" important topics (you will receive that power once your GB starts) Such topics as, The rules. Inspiration, Completed builds, Prizes (if your giving any) Just look at some of the recent successful completed builds and you will see what worked. It is actually quite simple.

White Wolf Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Thanks. I guess the only thing now is for everyone to agree on a date that suits the majority. 1. January 1st 2014 to July 1st 2014 (ends on the anniversary) 2. July 1st 2014 to December 1st 2014 (starts on the anniversary) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Being a mod is easy. Just keep the GB in sight. Ok. I'd like to help mod the group build. I have a little experience organizing similar things on other message boards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Sometimes dealers or/and producers of AM stuff are sponsoring a GB. So the GB modeller can get their decals, resin, ... for a lower price. I think that makes a GB also more attractive. Ofc they are promoted by that way and other modellers can see how it looks like when their stuff contributes to an awesome model!
