    999 GB

    Those watching the half-track GB will know I'm working on an old Russian fire engine (I'll have some pics later today).

    While in 'fire engine' mode, I had a thought for a GB topic. As the title suggests, what about a build for any vehicle which would answer a 999 emergency call - or the national equivalent for our overseas friends?

    Typically the emergency services are Fire, Police and Ambulance, but I was thinking it could also include things like air ambulances and coast guard rescue boats as well as military emergency vehicles - maybe even just emergency personnel for the figure builders on here 'cos they do seem to get a bit left out of the GBs.

    My idea was the usual three-month build time starting on Jan 1 next year, addition of AM parts is OK but no dios other than a simple base. (No reason why you shouldn't include your build in a dio later of course).

    Anybody interested?

          Sounds like a plan but I'll have to clear my current GB backlog before I definitely commit mate.

            Here I was, thinking about how complicated a 3D model I would have to draw to get a 999 GB file โ€ฆ and it turns out to be about emergency vehicles

                I might well have a go at sculpting a suitable figure for this one.

                          Over half way you only need 10.

                              Sorry, very unlikely โ€ฆ I have so much else I want to build that sticking yet another thing at the front is something Iโ€™m really rather reluctant to do
