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

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

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.

• Sci Fi

• F1

• Shades of Grey (Black & White)

• Anything but your usual

• Wheeled Vehicles

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.

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.
