What's our next SiG? You decide....

Post by **Lee** » Thu Sep 26, 2013 11:05 pm

OK, so Paul and I have come up with four suggestions after trawling the forum to get ideas for the next SiG and we'd like to put it to the vote.

You guys decide what you want to build from this lot. Again, SnM Stuff will sponsor the SiG and they're prizes will be ace, the same as the ones they've offered for the Sci-Fi SiG...

I'll leave this poll open for one week. Get voting peeps.....

Any conversation is welcomed....

Do the IDF use whirly birds... I'm pretty sure that they do.
Two birds one stone. IDF for me.
I'm about to start my entry into Aaron Newlands GB on Israel so two subjects would be really cool. I even have one... or two in mind.
Hehe...
Paul just wants to build his Turin and Lee his Merk haha.

IAI or IDF.

So I can build this.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO - It's illegal for you to build it before me....!!!

I have this in my stash, but no time to do it

Post by **alextheblue** » Fri Sep 27, 2013 9:06 am

Now I've got a dilemma, I've just ordered the Italeri 1/48 Chinook that I was planning to enter into the Cold War GB - if I don't bottle it of course, never built anything but AFV's before.

But I guess this must be fate................

Israeli it is then!

I went for Lockheed Martin, something a bit different.

IDF GBs are done all the time on places, and there is one running on YT just now, so I think you might struggle to get people who are already entering that one, to enter this as well.

Whirly Birds would be cool as well.

Even though Israeli is really cool I feel its being done alot atm with the YT group build going on.

I've gone for Lockheed Martin as lot of options and even some civilian choices.

Post by **bullgill67** » Fri Sep 27, 2013 3:06 pm

whirly birds for me

Post by **Paul** » Fri Sep 27, 2013 3:26 pm

Im happy with any of these but idf or whirlybirds will do me fine, ill either built the tamiya tiran 5 or my zvezda hind

Post by **5Craven** » Fri Sep 27, 2013 10:03 pm

I voted for the whirlybirds simply because I have a great option in the stash to build but I would be cool with the IDF or military wheels options as well.

Post by **latkin** » Sat Sep 28, 2013 6:37 am

Whirlybirds for me. Inspire me to try something new.

Pity we can't enter the same IDF kit in both group builds eh Gup?

whirly birds for me

Post by **WebbyNZ** » Wed Oct 02, 2013 8:25 am

tempted by lockeed martin, very tempted but as i have not yet done a 'choppa' whirly birds got my vote.
I have 4 in the stash so will try and resist the temptation to buy one if if whirlys win

Post by **gosselin2112** » Wed Oct 02, 2013 3:29 pm

The categories are all interesting, and I'd love to build something in each of them. I'm sure over time that we will get to them. But for now I must cast my vote. . . helicopters. I don't have a chopper in the stash (oh dear). This may be another cold war GB situation where I must think about what I ought to do. Any suggestions?

Yeah blue thunder

I'm kinda hoping it is whirlybirds now as I want to build that zvezda hind

Ha ha ha ha .....

I think we are gonna be seeing a LOT of airwolfs and blue thunders over the coming months........
Landslide to whirlybirds I think......

Who's responsible for the surge and vote swing ?
Mr Coen and sir Paul me thinks.....

Somebody's gotta be building a Chinook.... Oh and a mean Apache...
Oh and a Bell...... M.A.S.H anyone?
Damn, wish I was an experienced builder.

....

Good luck, fingers crossed...

Now shall I change my vote?

https://www.youtube.com/user/bnealuk · Post by **T3hGuppy** » Thu Oct 03, 2013 9:11 am

Okay I may have succumbed and changed my vote.

Do have a chopper in the stash so all sorted their.

Post by **alextheblue** » Thu Oct 03, 2013 9:12 am

Funny you should say that Wappy - the postie delivered me a Chinook the other day!!

Never entered a GB before and never built anything but AFV, so perfect timing. I know the general rule is only ever try one new thing at a time, but I say - dare to be different!!!

Lol I don't think not changing the votes would have made a difference, it was well ahead anyway.

Post by **wappynutter** » Thu Oct 03, 2013 9:29 am

Lol...... Yeah it was gonna win by a slight lead anyways.... But then pulling the old "airwolf/blue thunder" line and allowing vote jumping was an excellent move, I have entered forum voting where the results can change at the last moment where people change or hold off till the very last...

Its a more exciting method in my book and leads to hearty discussions as this thread has shown....
Well done again guys....

I remember Airwolf and Blue Thunder on TV as a kid. Who makes the model kits? I'd be up for doing Airwolf. Sounds like there might be some filler and styrene in the project. But that can also be quite entertaining! I'm in!
