Gigant Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) How about a "Just Build it" GB? Any subject any era. This would allow every member to participate since we all have at least one LSP in the stash. Mike I second Mike's suggestion! This would allow all/any genre's from 1914 through and to the present.

1to1scale Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) The problem is kit availability in 1/32 and above. I count maybe 10 and about half of those would be very expensive resin or Wingnuts kits. There's just not enough to run a GB unfortunately. We also just recently ran a Helicopter GB. Would you at least keep this possibility alive? It has not been done, could be modified to NO wheels............ floats, skis, skids, and hulls (amphibious). There are more float planes than you think, There are some in 1/24, and a lot in 1/32 including conversions. Don't forget the civilian pipers and Cessnas. This also opens it up to any aircraft that have Skis mounted, Stukas, ME-163, Storch, IL-2, piper cub, spad, X-15, etc. I have even seen pictures of a P-39 and P-38 on skis. Skids would be many different helicopters. Also, don't forget about 1/24 also.

LSP_Kevin Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I'm really liking the colour-based theme idea at the moment, as it's specific, yet wide open, and we've not done one before. And we'd likely see some pretty interesting stuff. Kev dmthamade, Rick Griewski and Daniel Leduc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Eagle Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 In light of the upcoming demise of Pacific Coast Models, how about a Salute to Pacific Coast? Builds of any one of their kits. Surely we all have builds we have done or on the SOD or in the box waiting to be started. Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee in Texas Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 What about racing and record setting aircraft? Lots of subjects with modified warbirds. Record setting could be any number of things; speed, altitude, time to climb, you name it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee in Texas Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Call it Colorful Paint Schemes. Everything from WWI fighters to Qantas 747s. Something for everyone. Rick Griewski and dmthamade 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmthamade Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Call it Colorful Paint Schemes. Everything from WWI fighters to Qantas 747s. Something for everyone. Nice and simple, covers a lot of stuff. Don EvilCarrot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_C Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 To me, the more inclusive the build, the better. So I'd be happy with "just build it," or "colorful paint schemes," or "bare it all." The first is clearly the most inclusive, though I suppose it would be like the WiP folder. Personally, I'd love a BMF build, mainly because I have a lot of suitable kits. dmthamade and Daniel Leduc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradG Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 Not sure there's a 1/32 747...that would be a huge kit! If we did a major colour, surely it has to be blue, the colour of LSP. dmthamade and Dragon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimRice Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 If it was vacuform kits, I could keep my 30 year shelf of doom project going. Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
