          With regard to a building ...

          Wouldn't it be nice to see a complete one? ie not bombed/shelled to pieces. Not saying it can't be military, just all in one piece.

          PS Forgot to add it shouldn't be old ruins either!

            Great selection of subjects so far and I'm rather chuffed that some of my suggestions are matched in number with some equally appealling ideas, e.g. Japanese items and aircraft maintenance vehicles. With regard to the buildings idea, I'm pleased to see that this has prompted some response that goes beyond using a building as a scene setter like a ruin or battle damaged shell. You could really go to town on this with a scratch build tower block, street scene or railway station. I confess a conflict of interest here with my interest in railways but the genre is a rich source of subject matter. Goods sheds, bridges, gas holders, warehouses, train sheds and depots, signal boxes etc.

            Coming soon: Airfix 1/72 Phantom FGR2.
            Just finished: Airfix 1/48 Stuka & Airfix 1/72 Sea King HC4.

              - I, Robot

              Imagine and create your robot. Free size and great scratch build possibilities!!

              We can do as a "dust-bin" compile former pieces of old kits, metals, sheets of plastic, cables...

              Can be a very funny GB

                What about recon stuff planes armoured vehicles and boats that patrol looking for contraband. Going further out you could have satelites

                    Would that include things like the Gundam figures?

                      Well, next year is 100 years since the start of the Great war. But that's a bit vague. Air, land or sea ?

                      Another suggestion from me is 'The Harrier' Sadly no longer in the UK skies, many different versions to build and many different model manufactures to chooses from.

                        Not exactly... You can find Gundam comercial kits. You can stole pieces of it or a toy if you want...

                        I'm talking to start from zero!
