morgansmith Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Sooo.......I KNOW. It's ONLY January. And truth be told, I no more have time to fling right now than take a two month vacation. Then WHY can't I stop thinking Spring Fling??? The Creatin' Contest shell is adorable. I immediately saw a terrific project I could even do with my 4 year old. And all I can think is FLING! Am I alone? Crazy? Help!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyckedWood Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I would participate if it was a build a long and not a contest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapchap73 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The temperature has screamed all the way up to 16 so far today; there's an early robin sitting on my back fence wondering what happened because it was not this cold last year. I am rocking here in my chair with my flannels and slippers wondering what this year's kit will look like for about the fifth time this week so you are definitely not alone :lol: Hey Dean, while you guys are planning, maybe you could show some half-scale love this year? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I already pre-ordered my Creatin' Contest shells. Yes, more than one because I have a couple of ideas and at the reduced price and an additional 26% off, it was worth the $$. HOWEVER...I have also committed to the Fling and would love to see something in half or quarter scale to change things up a bit. Ideas are bouncing around in my head. Now...can someone make days about 35-40 hours long while still keeping job hours around 8-10? I need the extra time to enjoy a little mini time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujurodgers Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 you are not alone LOL and I did not enter last year but loved to watch! It did not speak to me last year, or didnt speak to me in the way I envisioned it! I have no right to even be excited or to think about it as I have no room! I just switched out our huge old tv in living room to put my 2011 fling entry in the living room! son is happy to have the tv in his room and my house out of there...thankfully hubby thinks it looks really nice taking up more room than anything else in the tiny 12 by 10 ft living room LOL I can relate to a possible half scale!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariawicz Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I'm doing the fling and I'm going to finish it. This is the mantra I keep repeating because I'm still mad at myself for not finishing last year's Creatin' Contest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I got the fling kit last year and started working on it, but then I got distracted and fizzled out. I am looking forward to seeing the 2013 kit!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shannonc60 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Me too. And I am keeping fingers crossed for either a small 1" scale or a half scale kit. All the competition kits have been too large for the last couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgansmith Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 I hear everyone on the small scale. I completed last years because I wanted the 1/4 scale thank you so bad but sadly, it never arrived. Dean even wrote and asked my address (same as the fling was mailed to) and it still never arrived I would be a wee bit happier if this year was smaller scale.

Blondie Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Since all of you want small, watch it be HUGE... oh dear. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. I'm still lurving 1 inch scale though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgansmith Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 I love EVERY scale. I think it would be alot of fun if Greenleaf created the SF kit in 1" & 1/2" and let us choose. Or even 1/4" too. Laat years kit was great because it's small but I know alot of us would LOVE small scale. No matter what, the reveal will be exciting. My highlight of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minigrandma10 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 My vote is for 1/2" scale, space is surely an issue. (Even if I LOVE 1/2" scale) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspberry Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I would love to see a half scale this year! Have they ever done one? The RGT group has a great buld along with a half scale option, GL needs to jump on that bandwagon!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof2Moos Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I've already committed to entering the Creatin' Contest this year, but if the Fling kit has something good to say or comes in a smaller scale, I would love to enter that, too. I would love to give half scale a shot, and I'd be more likely to keep it then. Another 1:12, and I'm sure I'd have to find it a new home once it was finished,.

CheckMouse Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I got the fling kit last year and started working on it, but then I got distracted and fizzled out. I am looking forward to seeing the 2013 kit!!! I did too. I really spoke to me and I still have all the plans for it. But it's still on the drawing board. I will finish it some day, but am not entering another contest until we get relocated to the Midwest. Just working all little things for now. But I'm tempted by the RGT Build-Along. No pressure on that one - just a great opportunity to learn new skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I really wish GL would rerelease the Victorianna; then everyone could have their Spring Fling/ GL buildalong, whichever they'd want. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheckMouse Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 If they come out with a 1:144 scale I'll jump right on it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alamom Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I really wish GL would rerelease the Victorianna; then everyone could have their Spring Fling/ GL buildalong, whichever they'd want. Holly, I emailed Greenleaf back in November askiing if by chance it was ever going to be released. Lisa emailed me back and said yes to check back in March. I haven't said anything before because I didn't want to jinx it. I've already started buying items for it, so please Greenleaf release it soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyckedWood Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Can someone show me a photo of what it looks like (Victorriana), Ive never seen it and don't know anything about it except I take it, its 1:24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
