I'd definitely be up for it but would struggle to fit it in as I'm already doing the emergency services GB which starts January

If it doesn't clash with the emergency services GB I'll have to seriously think about this - sure I can come up with summat.

If we do this one after that, I don’t see how they would get in each other’s way … I’m thinking the usual three months or so, starting April?

TBH, the subject is wide enough that almost anything will be suitable
Of course, I don’t know what you have in your stash, but pretty much anything mainstream military is bound to appear in a movie somewhere …
Must be recognisable as central or unique to that movie though, surely. Otherwise it’s just a build pretty much anything GB……TBH, the subject is wide enough that almost anything will be suitable
Just had an off the wall though……..if this was run at the same time as the emergency GB I could enter my recent Katy ambulance purchase in both, LOL…..not going to happen though.

Perfect. For some reason i had it in my head that this one was starting in January.
This would he a fun build. No idea what I'd build, but there must be a ton of stuff to choose from.

Interesting thoughts chaps....
It occurred to me that I do have the Revell Dambuster Lanc in the stash, which of course has been on film....but has its origins in a historical action....so are least to my mind it wasn't in the spirit of what you suggested Jakko, as Tim has said...... But it is your idea of course!
To me, that’s iconic to the film, but Jakko may have other ideas…..

True....I must admit I hadn't been planning to do it for some time yet.....a four engined bomber is a BIG step up from anything I have done so far and I had planned to get some more practice in on some more twin engined wingy things first..... Especially as it's such an iconic subject.....I want to do it justice!
Just think of it as doing two two-engined bombers at the same time
Wasn’t going to go with it anyway….I have a lucky Jack Aubrey bust that needs painting…..about time I did another big figure……And it would not be allowed.
I so want a K2Y but not landed in Denmark yet!
PS, you’ll like the Katy when it arrives….looks excellent in the box.

True, there is that little detail
But there are a lot of movies in which military equipment plays a major enough role for individual vehicles to be recognisable.In the interest of making people build more things, it’s probably best to keep them separate, then
I’d say with historical films using the proper historical equipment (like The Dam Busters), if you build it as one of the vehicles (planes) used by the main characters, it’d work. For example, if you watch The Dam Busters and paint your model with the same markings as a Lancaster that the aircrew who are the focus of the film fly in, it would count. It wouldn’t if you put generic markings on it that aren’t in the film, though.
I think I’d add the rule that you must show a screenshot (or other still) of the actual vehicle you would be modelling. Not just for these cases, even if you’re building an X-Wing, a T-800 endoskeleton or the NCC 1701 USS Enterprise, putting up a picture of the “real” thing will help people who may not be familiar with your chosen subject.
That’s the idea

Ian, I think it was back in 2016. 'Scene from a film'
Does it have to be a "Proper" kit,or would a completely scratch built piece be ok?....Ah, that was before my time
.... I've got half a plan!
I don't have it anymore, must of cleared it in one of my wargaming culls. But I do have a kit in the stash that will fit.

Entirely up to you — it just has to be recognisable as from a particular film or TV show. If you want to scratchbuild something, then go for it!
When is this one planned Jakko. I know the emergency GB starts in January. In fact it doesn't matter much to me being retired and a burden on society I can easily manage 2 projects at the same time. Don't know what yet but I will certainly come up with something.

Personally I cant see the problem with two GB's running at the same time.
We just had the Half-track and the Mustang GB's same time and befor that there was A tank build and a Heli build at the same time AND that was overlapped with a Spitfire build and a Mosquito build (which also ran at the same time!!! lol). So its not like it has not happened befor. I think that as long as the subjects are not the same its fine.
However it is Jakko's GB suggestion so he has the boss cap on for this one.
Good idea with the Photo/still of the subject.
(Hmm we had a GB "from a Photo" that was well attended as well...
