GBs for 2017 - Cast your vote - POLL...

Post by **Lee** » Fri Nov 18, 2016 12:56 pm

As with last year, you guys will decide what our three main ISM GBs will be next year. You can make three votes and can change your votes anytime up until the poll ends - Make sure you use all three votes. It's entirely up to you what you choose. If you want to leave some comments and your reasoning then you're quite welcome to....

The poll will run for 14 days until midnight GMT on 1st December 2016.

Winter is Coming - Any military Vehicle, AFV or Aircraft from any era and used in any arena sporting a Winter camo scheme.

Feline Fever - Any military Vehicle, AFV or Aircraft from any era and used in any arena with anything feline in its name - Wildcat/Hellcat/Lynx/Tiger/Panther/Leopard - you get the idea!

Speed Kings - Any racing vehicle such as F1, Rally, Nascar, Formula Ford/Porsche, Le Mans etc etc

Warring Weather - Any model (inc civilian) with a type of weather in it's name - Lightning/Wirbelwind/Snow Cat/Hurricane/Typhoon/Thunderflash - you get the idea!

Capture the Flag - Any Vehicle, AFV or Aircraft captured by an opposing force and used with their own markings.

Really looking forward to the results

International Scale Modeller Group Builds are sponsored by......

Got to say, the two I'd really like to see is the Warring Weather and Capture the Flag. Although, I think they're all good

Post by **Lysus** » Fri Nov 18, 2016 3:14 pm

All good...but come on Speed Kings!

Im with these guys for sure!

Also capture the flag is interesting looking like looooads of what ifs

Post by **SergioSolo** » Fri Nov 18, 2016 8:11 pm

Voted! I changed my mind and added a vote for Speed Kings. It should be really interesting indeed!

Post by **DBMiller** » Fri Nov 18, 2016 8:58 pm

For capture the flag can we build a plane that was turned over by a defector and used for study? I'm thinking of a MiG-15 I have with US markings.

Capture the Flag would be great. Falling behind a bit though. Guess everyone loves their big cats

Post by **snowman819** » Sun Nov 20, 2016 3:09 am

I might try and join in if i have the courage.( I can't build for toffee) maybe something Japanese in the warring weather build.

Post by **wellzy** » Sun Nov 20, 2016 7:28 pm

think it's a good year for cats

Post by **rwsmith14** » Mon Nov 21, 2016 1:05 am

Come on..Capture the Flag !!

Post by **Lysus** » Mon Nov 21, 2016 5:09 pm

Just so I'm clear, is "Warring Weather" ANY kit with weather in the name, or any non-fiction kit with weather in the name?

It's the car or nothing. I don't come cheap.

For some reason I've voted for 'capture the flag', and I don't know why?!

Sheesh, straight to Boardwalk, eh? How about Baltic Avenue and the wheelbarrow or terrier?

Post by **Avgas** » Wed Nov 23, 2016 9:38 pm

Well I can do two out of the three top contenders with stuff I have in the stash so I'm happy with that!

Post by **RossiM1** » Thu Nov 24, 2016 5:33 pm

Hope the speed kings gets it got a couple of 1/12th F1's that need an excuse to be built

Post by **MightyDraw** » Thu Nov 24, 2016 6:47 pm

I'm glad to see the Warring Weather in there!

Post by **Avgas** » Thu Nov 24, 2016 7:10 pm

I was just thinking, 103 people voting for Feline Fever, that's going to be hell of a judging job...

Just for that I'm off to order a Hellcat

Post by **Avgas** » Thu Nov 24, 2016 8:32 pm

I've got a Hellcat in the stash. It's looking like I will get five of the Sig and GB builds without buying anything. Result.

Evening All, love the sound of the Feline Fever ive already made my decision

The Panzerkampfwagen VII Löwe (Lion)

Post by **PrivatePublic** » Fri Nov 25, 2016 7:27 am

Just thinking with Feline Fever and Warring Weather (+1 for alliteration) looking like there in for a win, we could start up a pair of threads or something compliling all subjects that might fit. There's the obvious ones of course, the Tiger, Panther, Hellcat(?), P-38, P-47. But there's also more out there people may not know of like the Japanese J7W Shinden ("Magnificent Lightning") and N1K2 Shiden ("Violet Lightning") along with a lot more that could spark some interest and promote some extra variety. Thoughts?

Another one!

From Wiki:

The Dassault Rafale (French pronunciation: [ʁafal], literally meaning "gust of wind".

Post by **Avgas** » Fri Nov 25, 2016 7:08 pm

The Dassault Fart? Odd name for a plane.

No, no, it makes perfect sense!

"I fart in your general direction!" takes on a new meaning.

I think Ra'am means Thunder, and Sufa is Storm? Probably loads of others too.

Post by **Lysus** » Mon Nov 28, 2016 2:07 am

Hm. 2/3 of my choices are losing. If you haven't done so yet, consider changing a couple votes to Speed Kings and Capture the flag. I can't promise punch and pie, but punch and pie...

Forbes wants my Monopoly car to switch and I'm not made of money.

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Mon Nov 28, 2016 3:19 am

I have had a spaz over the choices the last two years and now have learned not to worry as things work out.
For example, the Star Wars and Sci Fi group builds were not on the voting list in previous years and were absolutely two of the best builds I have participated in. Both were sponsored by members, both of whom I consider friends and made more buds along the way.
So don't anyone lose sleep or freak out, there will be something for everyone in 2017.

Post by **Lysus** » Mon Nov 28, 2016 3:51 am

Not freaking out, I just want to rationalize the purchases I'm thinking of for 2017

Didn't mean for it to be directly implied to anyone my friend, was speaking more in general terms and referring to my own freaks and spazzes...not gonna say sorry just to break that stereotype

Post by **Lysus** » Tue Nov 29, 2016 5:39 pm

Isn't that against the law in Canada? Not saying "sorry?"

2017 ISM GB Choices....
