2023 SiG Topics

[bfrd]

We have decided on a format for next year's builds. Now we need topics for a poll. Please list your idea for a build on one (and only one) line. There will be no lengthy explanations, extraneous comments, or discussions. I need to make this easy for us to make a poll out of later. Posts that don't comply may not be considered for the poll or deleted. Please feel free to make multiple suggestions in one post; make sure they are all on a new line. Go ahead and post your suggestion even if you are not sure it will work. We will sort out what will go in the poll or not. If your suggestion requires explanation, it will likely not be a good candidate. I will give an example with my suggestions in a new post.

The forum leadership will decide whether this is a Group Build or a Special Interest Group.

Group Build: A build comprising many subjects centered around a broad topic.

Examples:

• World War II
• Sci-Fi
• Tanks

Special Interest Group: A build comprising multiple subjects centered around a narrow topic.

Examples:

• Egg Build
• Feline Fever
• Porsche Appreciation

Buddy Build: A build comprising only 1 (or a few) subjects centered around a particular topic. Buddy builds are user started and are "unofficial." They do not need approval and will not be sponsored. A forum may be created at the staff's discretion.

Examples:

• Bifford's Buddy Bike Build (Ducati only)
• Paul's Open wheel racer

Was thinking the other night - dangerous I know - for 2024 would there be any interest for a "Might have been/if only" theme?

Being honest what brought it to mind was getting hold of the TSR-2 in both 1/48 and 1/72 scale. Probably, from a UK viewpoint, the ultimate "if only" ....
