          How about earth moving equipment, dock cranes, agricultural stuff, anything that moves muck or lift things really.

          This is something we've not done, is away from our 'norm' and just imagine the weathering possibilities!

            With my lack of weathering skills I would have mine direct from the factory floor

              How about something from a civil war? Could you include Korea and Vietnam provided only native figures/troops were used?

                  1. Helicopters

                  2. Small scale anything - 1:144 and smaller

                  3. Race vehicles (anything as long as they are non-military and are used to race against similar vehicles e.g. cars, bikes, boats, etc)

                  Some other great suggestions here already.

                    If you'll forgive the input of a an inexperinced person, who would love to have a go at a group build, I too would favour helicopters.

                      Try this boys....

                      'A moment in History'......Could be anything, early flight, rockets, moon landings, Titanic, speed records (Bluebird), a turning point in some conflict, a gallant act, me refusing a drink!

                      This could produce a real diverse and interesting build, make us all think and perhaps do something we have never attempted to build before.

                        I like it Ron. I can see this being a winner already.

                          Brain storming really, that's a first for me!

                          But how about "My first attempt.".......This would mean having a go at something you've never built before. For my part I've never built a model car, modern or otherwise, a sci-fi subject, a motor bike, a figure in armour or on horseback.......

                          We would have to be honest....which we have in bucket loads. Seriously, my ideas are to get away from our usual stuff and be adventurous by trying something totally new.....I refuse to use that colonial expression 'Comfort zone'!..... Oop, I've said it!lol

                          Cheers

                          Ron

                            What about returning to our youth, where we build the first kit we ever built is a child?

                            Or something that shows the plane, tank, vehicle in a less well known role or in unusual markings of a different country.

                            Retirement home, where did that plane finish its career?

                            Just a couple of ideas

                              a first attempt at summot .... that would be a plastic destroyer/aircraft carrier type thing. can't remember building one. done a couple of sailing jobbies but that's it.

                              and I've got a couple in my measly stash so yay

                              not a bad idea Ron.

                                Identical subjects - or as near as possible - in different scales.
