2016 Group Build Ideas

[KiwiZac]

Whatever gets picked, I promise to actually get involved this time! I've just put my hand up for the COIN GB so I can at least be part of that.

I'm keen on Gunships as well as Racing.

How about a Totally Wacky GB - instead of trying to make things that are real world or close to, we go the opposite way and just do something crazy and fun.  I'm thinking of things like the following...or crazier:

Could do a spats GB, no matter what you have, just put spats on it or we could do a hover bike or vanship thingy build OR a fighter submarine GB

You mean this sort of thing?



But nobody here likes spats...

How 'bout this? "Out of Your Element"  Ground vehicles that fly, ground combat vehicles or racers based on aircraft fuselages, land-based or space-faring ships, etc. etc.

That would fit in well with the GB suggested in this thread: http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=5724.new#new

I've got at least two concepts on the to-do list that would fit right in with that.

Sorry to be boring but there has to be an all things floaty GB.

Done!  Earlier this year in fact:  http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?board=56.0

I know, but I desperately want it to be an annual event as its about the only one I will ever get kits finished for.

Maybe an easier color to paint than yellow?

Of course.  My vote is purple

My vote is red, but then I'm kinda biased.....

The Hollywood Ride GB

Devise a pitch for a movie and then make a model of one of the vehicles that will be in it. I'm specifically thinking of the sort of thing that movie productions cobble together from aircraft graveyards to make cheap "spacefighters" but the GB could also cover:

Real planes used in a real movie (e.g. the Battle of Britain's "Spanish Luftwaffe")

Flying planes (real or whiff) used in a what if movie

Other kinds of vehicles: cars, ships, spacecraft (could be a movie that's made in the future!)

IMPORTANT NOTE: it doesn't have to be a good movie....

Thats a clever one.  :) I like that Idea

To start - a variation on the Civilian/Non-Military GB:  how about an Executive Transport GB?  This could include business jets, yachts, Limos as well as those military platforms converted as such (see below for an example).

Variation:  Unarmed GB, be it civilian or military
