Movie and TV subjects

[Jakko]

Something I’ve been thinking about suggesting for a while now: models based on movies and TV shows. That is to say, anything or anyone that’s recognizably from a movie or a TV show, whether it’s the DeLorean time machine, an X-Wing fighter, KITT, Oddball’s Sherman, Maverick’s F-14, Spider-Man, an FV 432 mocked up to look like a StuG, the Blues Mobile, a figure of Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine, a yellow Reliant Robin with “Trotter’s Independent Trading Cº” on the side, Blue Thunder, ED-209, or whatever else strikes your fancy.

However, things from reality shows wouldn’t be eligible unless they recognizably only go with that particular show. A police car as seen on Police Interceptors is technically from a TV show, for example, but if you see it you won’t automatically associate it with that so it wouldn’t fit this GB.

A good suggestion Jakko.
We had a similar GB a few years ago and it was quite well attended! Maybe it is time for a repeat..... See what I did there.
Are we lining this up for '23?

 

[The Smythe Meister]

Absolutely no idea what I would do, but there's such a wide scope that I'd DEFINITELY be joining in.

That would be my suggestion, unless you want to make it a “speed build” to be started and completed this year

I wish I’d bought the Wallace and Grommit Anti Pesto van when it was about….have to think about this one……I do have a few figures that will suit……

 

[peterairfix]

I am in as I have an airwolf just begging for an excuse to build it.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Definitely in…..I have two busts and a set of 28mm figures that will fit this brief!

I might have that fake Tiger from Kelly's Heroes.........

If it’s in 1/56 I’ve got the crew to go with it…….

Go for it! It’s recognizably from a TV show and so it fits the theme

In a very old Tamiya catalog is a diorama based on the film, with a T-34 kit converted to a “Tiger” like in the film. At the time I didn’t understand that model at all, until I saw the film some years later.

Here you go, only £54

 

[Mark1]

Think ill be up for this one, haven't a clue what i would build yet but sure i could come up with something.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Here you go, only £54

…and that’s the cheap one….

Great idea Jakko!!! I'll have to sit this one out though as I don't have anything suitable. But there will obviously be a great variety of different things on show.

Good for thinking of it!

 

[Mickc1440]

I definitely like this idea, I would probably have to go for something from a childhood series, something by Gerry Anderson

 

[Mini Me]

I have two possibilities, the U Vll C from Das Boot or an X-Wing fighter from Star Wars......was there another GB scheduled between now and years end or am I imagining things?

 

[JR]

Will watch !

 

[Mini Me]

Oh!!!........just remembered, There's supposed to be a GB with some Emergency, First responders type vehicles.....999/911 stuff. I think Dave (Gern) is heading it up in January. Anyway, I'm definitely interested if the two GB's don't conflict with one another.

 

[Ian M]

definitely interested if the two GB's don't conflict with one another.

Im sure that can be arranged...
