What it might be built of would be up to the individual....

I envisaged people's imagination running riot with this. The more scratch built, the better.....Even cotton reels could be used!

 

[PaulTRose]

heres a question...........the purchased for under a tenner..............will we need to provide some kind of proof that it cost less that a pavorotti?

 

[Alan 45]

Paul I'd say yes if it's off eBay but if it's a starter kit you could just leave the price on it

 

[roymattblack]

Ummm.....

Classic cars?

Road and race.

Which bit would they fit in?

 

[Centurion3RTR]

Voted.

If its a Ferrari, then the Ferrari build.

If it is a cabriolet it could go in the Rag-top build

If you can find a photo of the real car, you could put it in the From a photo build.

Put snow chains on and put it in a snowy dio = anything with snow

Put sand tyres on it and cover it in dust = any desert.

Well I would think that the most of us have a pretty good idea of how much things cost.

Trying to do a build of the HK models 1/32 scale B-17, by saying you bought it for £9.99 might cause a bit of a stir among the ranks...lol

Ian this photo one does it have to be a real photo or can it be a photo from a film ?

thats why im asking.....i love a bargain...not so long ago i picked up three 1/24 ferrari kits on ebay.....cos the guy had put them in the wrong place i got all three for 30 quid......the tamiya one alone is worth that

Ian this photo one does it have to be a real photo or can it be a photo from a film ?

If I remember correctly, the last time we did this one it was based on a published photo. HOWEVER should you wise to go the science fiction route it could be rather hard to find an actual photograph. In that case a capture of a single image from a film could be used.

I can see where you are going but I think the spirit of the challenge is a kit at under a tenner retail price was the intention. It's not to be difficult but to be fair. We can all buy a kit for the £10 max but not all can score a bargain on an expensive kit.

Thanks Ian that's helped and has given me what to look for

 

[Ian M]

Exit polls are showing that it is not looking good for all the suggestions that have less than 10 votes...

 

[PaulTRose]

so how are you going to decide what becomes a gb or a sig or whatever?

 

[Ian M]

We'll figure that out once the list is cut down to the top 14-15 suggestions-

I will "make" some friends now....:oops:

I think there are "few" planes (yupi!).... and an excellent different variety of themes!!!

The next year will be fantastic!

 

[Polux]

And yes Ian....I will join in this year!! :D

There are three suggestions that I'm wishing to start

 

[Ian M]

Last chance to vote chaps get them in.

 

[John Huggins]

Okies my votes are in, looking forward to next year.

Here are the preliminary results of the poll. So far the suggestions that got less than 10 have been cut. Those with 10 or more are up for the final grind.

So with out further a do, the winners are......

Under a tenner. Any kit purchased for under £10 (or equivalent there of!) 19

The Desert. Any desert, any war. 18

Post war wrecked armour or aircraft. Found rotting in a field… 14

4 engine bombers. Nuff said? 14

Brail scale armour 1/72 Scale ? Can you see it? 13

from a photo. Post a photo reproduce it as accurately as possible. colour or mono 13

The devil is in the detail. Put as much extra detail on a basic kit as you can. However you can. 12

lands on an aircraft carrier 12

A figure build As in the singular A figure. 12

The battle for Berlin 11

Soviet Aircraft. Any type and era. Political hot pot that one 11

Anything with snow. 11

Locomotive If it is on rails its fine but lets try to avoid the obvious German railguns.. 11

Prototypes that didn't quite make it. Mass produced need not apply. 10

A classic from the seventies. Time to dig those cupboard queens up and build them! 10

Artillery, with or with out tow. 10

Sorry about the iffy formatting, but the info is sound.

The big question.Do you want to vote it out as to what is a GB and TB and SIG If so I will set up a new poll, or shall I just go for it and get the calender sorted.

If that is the case, if you have any preference to a subject being a 6 month or three month build please say so here.

Dont forget that the 1/24 scale or larger Aircraft SIG IS already on the calender.
