We all pick one subject, 1/72 Spitfire, 1/35 Tiger for example, and come up with a 'what if' for that subject - new markings, steam punk version - whatever fancy takes you.
If I may I will take just a part of this as it surprisingly not been mentioned yet. STEAMPUNK...
The Red Arrows. Here's the twist, we would need nine participants and each participant does a different serial numbered aircraft - but how do we get all nine in formation?
How about just a Red Arrow build. If you want to do a diamond nine, a single or anything in between..?
....the only thing I can think of is something like wacky races. Military vehicles like jeeps, kubelwagens horches trucks etc turned into racers as if the war was put on hold...
It was rather lonely at times in some of the GB and SIG builds this year. Suggestions are fabulous, but can we actually commit? It's apparent that Ian takes a lot of his time to organise these builds and when the result is a one or two (or even nil) result for participation it doesn't do much for either Ian or the few who did bother to participate. I think if you make a suggestion and it is selected then we need to confirm that we will build, and make sure we do see it to completion.
Whilst I generally agree with you Joe. There was so much going on this year, so many over lapping builds, I had to miss a couple out.

You beat me to it, Steam Punk is a flexible yet constrained topic and allows imagination to run riot. Anyone can have a crack at it and modify any kit you fancy.
