future group build ideas

[gregers]

as the title says, how about giving some input as to what your ideas are for future group builds. just to give those of us who like organising them, and those who like to take part an idea of what would and wouldn't be popular.
my ideas are.........

cargo transport g/b (and type, be it truck, train, aircraft or ship)

in civvies g/b, military equiptment finding a peacetime role.

pimp my ride g/b. one for the petrolheads but if you want to 'pimp' a tank or an aircraft then go for it

scratch and spares g/b, as the name suggests, scratch build, out of scrap and spares. probably what if and sci/fi here though you could mate scrap aircraft or scrap afv's bits together.

big props g/b, for anything say DC3/C47 size or bigger, C46's, constallations, DC6's are perfect for this one. a B36 would be cool.

under new management g/b, for equiptment that has been captured and used by the other side. what i'f would be cool for this, imagine an F4 in soviet markings (probably happened) mig 21 in USAF marks (oh, wait a mo nada what if!!!) a pucarra in RAF colours, (hmmm in fact the RAF had one captured from the Argentine forces) spetznaz landrover (yes, they did train with them, and most of the troops thought them superior to Russian equiptment)

whats your ideas, and thoughts on these.

best regards.

Thanke Rob, have you any ideas on the way to go with future g/b's?. which one or ones would you be interested in?. another idea i had is, well kinda hard to describe but basically, take a normal subject and change it around somewhat, lest say i get an airfix DC9, give it bigger engines, or even four DC9 engines, strech the fuselage, hmmm maybe it would be good as a canard, or even a delta.....hmmmm lets make the nose more 'pointy' and how about afterburners......... looks like we have a supersonic medium range airliner on our hands.
Think you will get the idea now. take a familiar subject and just let your imagination run wild with it.

all the best.

Greg,

I have several ideas for GB's to cover any subject of models, If sujestions are allowed these titles might be of use, Century of Flight, Battles and or Campaigns.

With managing future GB's a few ideas come to mind, planed starting date, the time frame or duration of the Gb and adding a host album for GB's as a means of collectively keeping the subjects together for all to see, instead of going from forum page to forum page


Regards
Rob.
