Yes I believe it has...\ said:Mad max styled vehicle. Military or civilian, tracked, wheeled. (I think this may have been done before)
Good idea but some of those classics cost more than a new kit...\ said:1970's. Build any OLD 1970's Airfix or Matchbox OOB.
Noted this could be something a bit different. The only problem could be finding kits... A loco fan can put me right on that.\ said:Going Loco. Build a loco with or without rolling stock.
That was a good idea. £10 (or equivv) total cost not including paint and glue...\ said:Under a Tenner. Buy a kit for no more than a tenner. build it, add as much detail as you wish but any extras either come from the spares box, or are scratch built.
Have a very similar suggestion already. also for the blues and twos. (Polux). And the rusty one was covered by Spanners suggestions.\ said:Space the final frontier. Anything space Star Trek, Space 1999, Blake seven, Luna landings.
Edited...\ said:With locomotive kits they are usually steam loco's in brass or diesel in brass or resin and quite expensive with the exception of Dapol for example. An alternative might be to take a second hand ready to run loco to detail and repaint. The level of detail to go into is a bit bewildering as many classes of loco had sub-classes, depot specific paint jobs or traffic flow specific fittings.But you don't have to do a loco, there are diesel or electric multiple units kits out there and of course coaches and wagons. Some suppliers make conversion kits to modify a standard passenger coach to a billion van or overhead line equipment coach.
Just some UK kit suppliers;
Cambrian
Parkside Dundas
DC Kits
Comet models
Hurst models
Bratchells
Dapol
Southern Pride
Silver Fox models

It was rather lonely at times in some of the GB and SIG builds this year. Suggestions are fabulous, but can we actually commit? It's apparent that Ian takes a lot of his time to organise these builds and when the result is a one or two (or even nil) result for participation it doesn't do much for either Ian or the few who did bother to participate. I think if you make a suggestion and it is selected then we need to confirm that we will build, and make sure we do see it to completion.\ said:I rather like the idea of a prototype build....On the list.We had the "Unusual aircraft" thing this year....How many took part in that?
