International Scale Modeller

And you're right we are lacking in that genre. Sadly.

Or we could open it out a little bit for a main group build and make it anything Civilian which would include trucks, trains, airliners and ships

Civilian, Cars or Racing machines for me, I like Wappys Classic Ford idea too!



Rich

Amphibians and ship-borne? Seaplanes, naval aircraft/helicopters, amphibian vehicles e.t.c?

I do think that "steele rain" would make a nice GB meaning AAA, SPG or fixed gun positions (105 howitzers and so)





Steele rain. ..... or is it steal rain ...........jeeezz..... huge lumps of lead being shot into the air. ......

Wouldn't that be lead rain then?

Huh what yes perhaps. .........i didn't come up with the saying got it from...... Uhm Coen i think. ...... oh now I'm getting all confused .....

STOP!!!!

Too many Orsome options!

I am already unable to take part in all the group builds I want to and now I want to do a scratchbuild Sig and a civilian Sig.

I am only one man.........

Keep 'em coming guys, some great ideas so far

Build anything you like as long as it ISN'T a kit.

that would be a challenge for everyone (Well maybe not for Wappy).

I'm in!

cheers

That's a challenge!

Ian, if you scratched that... I'd have your children, wash your feet with my tounge, and cover you in fresh skunks and slippers!

Dude... You'd be a god!!

I'm going to do one just for this reason!!!!

Well in that case I may not wait for a Sig!

Haha
What have I done

what would be a nice idea is ww2 trucks or recovery vehicles.
That would be awesome

Agreed, 1 vote from me.

I'd do that one!

Several suggestions.

How about a GB on less talked about/familiar conflicts. Say:

Falklands GB
Korean war GB
6 day war GB
Suez etc

Maybe a GB based on say Russian military hardware?

Or maybe a group build based on a particular manufacturer's kits?

Just some thoughts.

Miller on that thought, Afghanistan could be a good subject, and it could cover either the 1970/1980 Russian conflict there, or the more recent ISAF conflict.

Plenty of modelling scope for Russian themed things, or modern NATO stuff.

Count me in! I've got just the nasty kit for this challenge.

We could do a GB in which your build must be a vehicle which you recently bought, and then came home to find that you already have it in your stash.

Me too, got a nice panzerberger in stash....

What about recce/scout vehicles or planes? Loads of cool stuff to choose from.

Since December is a few days away, i think we should do a Christmas GB any kit in 1/72 or 1/76 (for road vehicles or buildings) Painted in Christmas colors (Green,Red,gold,silver etc.)

I like it.

Have a look at Phildafish's tornado thread.

What about a Battle of Britain Group Build???

Battle of Britain - good idea

could add "War in the Pacific", which could include WW2, Korean War, Vietnam

and I had a quirky idea of a build comprising of junk kits and spare parts, not that I have much myself but would follow along with great interest.

This is a idea I've been sitting on for a while, would anyone be interested in doing a Special Forces Group Build, from 1/48 scale right up to busts, from World War two to Present day. it can be figures or vehicles both land, sea and air as long as they directly used or connected to SF units


any takers ?



Shane

maybe a 1900-now prototype aircraft GB just got an awesome model that would be great for a possible GB

lets get a great group of people who would like to get involved

Always thought about a group build for the figure guys out there . Like a conversion GB where the figure or bust is converted from its original to something else. Soon I will be converting a British Para Regt bust to a 1st Can Para bust , not a drastic conversion but that's the idea.

Seeing that Michael got the Arado Ar196 to revisit his first model memories, I suggest a "My First Model" group build.

I've heard rumours about a 6- or 8-wheel GB. Are they true...?

Yes

Lee wrote:Yes

Ah yes it's in the voting for SIGs section. Just to be clear, this is 6- or more wheeled vehicles without tracks, such as a LAV or a Gama Goat, and not something like a Panzer III, which has 12 [road] wheels, correct?

Yes

Not sure if this is the sort of thing you guys are looking for. But how about a GB where you can only use the materials provided in the kit.

I've always wondered if there's enough paint provided, glue supplied or indeed the colours even match what they should be.

I can only think of Airfix and Revell who do the 'everything you need' kits but I'm sure there are more and it might serve as a nice 'consumer test' for those of us who wanted to buy presents for our kids/relatives to get them hooked too.

I bet it'd be quite a challenge to get an amazing looking kit without all the fillers, weathering, and varnishes we are so used to.

Just a crazy Friday night idea

I don't know if this has been said already, but maybe a "Quad Blade Prop GB" basically any aircraft with a four bladed prop or rotor.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread. As you can see by the polls we put most of them to the vote.

I'm going to close this thread as we're all set for GBs for the whole of 2014 now. I'll start a similar thread in October 2014 to get some ideas for 2015s GBs...

Once again, thank you all again for your input and suggestions
