GB Subjects for 2019?

[aur0ra145]

a couple of idea's I mentioned for previous years...

nose art/shark mouth - I know that it would be primarily aircraft but I have seen tanks with painted teeth
dogfight doubles - Spitfire vs bf109, Phantom vs Mig, Tiger vs Sherman or Ferrari vs McLaren etc.
D for Delta - any delta wing aircraft
rally cars

I like the nose art idea. Has nothing to do with the fact that I picked up the Airfix P-40 yesterday....

If a Sherman and a T34 had a baby

[TheNordus]

that's rad. how do we get the_Chieftain from you tube, to do a inside the hatch review

He's done one.

[Tomcat64]

One more from me - we've seen ideas for "not your usual" but how about "The One you really want to build" - I don't know about the rest of you but I've got a couple of kits in the stash that I really want to crack out and build but never seem to get to for some reason or other.

How about prototypes only ...the ones that didn't make it into production.

The Unicorn build - THE kit you put at the top of your to do list, what better time to dust it off and get it built?

Same here! I have a few that I'm dying to build but keep scaring myself off because I'm not good enough.

I think a wheeled vehicle build would be cool, i know car biilding isn't really popular on here but i think it would be cool to get both military and car builders together, maybe for a sig if not a official ism build.

+1

[DBMiller]

And, of course, we need our annual Summer SciFi Build! You know you want it!

Yep that works for me too

And this is definitely Seconded big time

[digger303]

Duck Hunter theme...anything land based used as anti air craft OR artillery with figures almost never see any arty built. That will throw up some challenges for me I don't do figures well.

Now that's a cool idea!

[bfrd]

How about a "Finish the Group Build From Last Year You Didn't Have Time To Finish"!

[Gary30]

How about a "Finish the Group Build From Last Year You Didn't Have Time To Finish"!

That could be a popular one

[digger303]

How about a "Finish the Group Build From Last Year You Didn't Have Time To Finish"!

[Quax]

How about a "Finish the Group Build From Last Year You Didn't Have Time To Finish"!

Or if you have finished do something from Finland. It could be the 3 F's sig....

(lets see who understands that....

Paul

[shortCummins]

any "new" kit released in 2019

[Quax]

theres seems to be a suggestion that GBs/SiGs are being overlooked by the consumer so I thought I'd put the numbers in; this is builds/ posts not gossip or reveals...

WW1 29/1000
Cold War 26/607
Bombers (sig)55/2510 (2000 of them were Twokids telling us to be quiet and go to sleep... no sorry, to get on with it)
1/72-76 21/449
cars etc 50/1226

I think it will be a sad day when FB takes over and GB's and Sigs stop

Agree!

Also, we should have an F-4 Phantom build. You can build US Navy, Marines or Air Force; British Navy or Air Force; Australia; Turkey; Greece; Japan; Germany; Iran; Israel; Egypt; South Korea; or Spain!

Ill be in for that.

Does anyone know what was the results from the last one if there was a post?

Nope, it kinda died unfortunately
I will see to it that that doesn’t happen again

[alextheblue]

How about a Mad Max / Post Apocalyptic build. You can build any subject you like as long as it look's like it's made up from spare parts and is really beat up. Gives great scope for all the sci-fi guys, plus all the scratch builders out there.

Plus, any mistakes can be written off as damage!!

[InvalidUsername]

Couple ideas,
- Something with a mouth on the front? Covers a range of different vehicle types (Planes, tanks, boats, cars etc)
- Aircraft nose art build
- Brand build, (eg. Airfix, Hasegawa etc) build anything from that particular manufacturer

[digger303]

How about submit a pic of the shelf of doom and everyone else votes for the one to finish..... I'm evil

[Maverick231]

How about Russian Origins?
Anything that was built in Russia/Ukraine/Soviet Union.

[chief5437]

That would be interesting. Might actually get something finished!

[Lysus]

We should revive the Summer Sci-fi dealymabob buildup sig
I saw a" Black and White build" on a video of Telford...ANYTHING either black or white.
Ooo we could call it The Ebony and Ivory Build

Love to see the scifi back, does anyone know what happen with the last one?

I do! Got the stuff here in my closet, just need two minutes of free time to rub together and I can send out the prizes (now that I've unpacked them).

[Lysus]

Ok, so read through the thread...

I'm digging the Black and White idea. Like, a LOT.

Also, F1. Pleeease.... Have one in the stash and I really would love to have a go at it.

As for a sci-fi, if they don't get one on the books, I can defo do one again since I doubt I'll be moving the whole family two summers in a row. 'Course I'd need to earn back some good will from the masses and get the last prizes sent out first.

[ElCapitan]

Haven't we normally had a poll by now?

Not sure what your picture is implying there.

Anyway if someone wants to count up the 5 most popular suggested gbs I’ll start a poll.

Famous last words!

[Tomcat64]

Anyway if someone wants to count up the 5 most popular suggested gbs I’ll start a poll.

I've had a look back through the thread and I think the top five most popular in no particular order are:

Top Four

• Sci Fi

• F1

• Shades of Grey (Black & White)

• Anything but your usual

Fifth one could be a couple but I think probably

• Wheeled Vehicles

If someone else could double check and correct anything I got wrong that'd be great (especially that last one!)

Might want to consider adding one category featuring tanks + planes (the red meat, so to speak). Something with a theme along the lines of "Fighting Felines" etc. That was pretty popular and was open to a wide range of subjects.

Just a thought.

I mean, I'll try any subject once, but a lot of folks love their armor or aircraft, wouldn't want them to see slim pickin's this year.

Good Suggestion Jason cheers.

Yep you're right - so how about we make number 5 "Desert Theatre" since that had a couple of mentions too.

Anything (Armour/Aircraft etc) that's either in desert camo or took part in a desert theatre operation from any era.

I think I also suggested expanding F1 to be any open wheeler so the Indycar guys can play too.

I agree on the F1, like anything to do with wheeled racing is good enough for me.
