Many thanks to all that have sent in ideas for setting up a calendar for 2011 Group Builds. I will be listing these ideas initially to get a breakdown as to the variety on offer. I will not be saying who suggested what as it is the selection of a subject that matters more than who suggested it. So, initially there are so many suggestions, some quite diverse that they may suit a SIG (Special Interest Group) build for a few enthusiasts rather than a Group Build (GB).
OK, in a rough breakdown, the suggestions fit in as follows.
Theatres:-
Pacific, Yom Kippur War, WWI, Desert Storm, Battle of Britain, Normandy Campaign, Operation Market Garden
General:
It Floats, Civilian Transport, Landing Craft with Load, Truck/Trailer with Load, Aircraft/Helicopter with load, Blackhawk down (any Helicopter downed and under fire), Grease Monkeys (any vehicle being repaired at the front, small workshop under fire)
Even more General:
At Rest (Any theatre or a specific one), Based on a photo, based on a film, Gearing up (a vehicle of any type being prepared, could be military or not), Battle at sea.
Specific subject type:
Sniper, Mistel Aircraft, Wing Walker (none military), Figures (None Military), Kit Bash (Conversion), Aircraft Carrier, Soldier carrying wounded comrade (or as a twist helping a wounded adversary), Night Fighter.
As you can see there is indeed quite some diversity and some would need clarification as to limitations, for example a Film subject, could it be any film or would we be talking War film only?
However, before it could be put to a vote, we have to break it down a bit to end up with four GB subjects and, possibly, a couple of SIG subjects.
No easy task as obviously members have some strong feelings about the type of thing they want to do and even stronger, ones they don't.
So, without going into deep discussions, can you just say which two from each of the sections above you may be interested in having a go at? This will break it down so that it can be voted on later.
