Right that's an hour of my life I won't get back.  :angel: Round One of the 2025/2026 GB Subject Poll - pick up to 10 for entry into Round 2

61 suggestions this year compared to 37 last.

They are in the order in which they were suggested.

Now I've given you 10 votes, although you don't have to use them all, and I will put 10/15 or so through to the second round. Not fixing the number now as I don't want to be too harsh and drop things that only narrowly miss the "cut".

To be honest there are a few in the list that I really don't understand, but that can be sorted out if they make the cut.  If you want to see more details and/or read the discussion it can be found via the link below.

https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=53745.0

I'll leave it open for a 10 days or so and organise round 2 on or around 12th April.

Thanks for sorting all this out Chris. You deserve a drink or two  :thumbsup:

It's not just Chris that needs a drink or two. Anybody who votes is going to need a few drinks after going through all those poll options and trying to decide what to vote on.

Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

Thanks, Chris!  :thumbsup:


As usual, there's very little chance of me entering a GB, but I've voted for a few that might get some of my ideas moving.  <_<

I'm wondering one thing ..could wouldn't it make sense to combine the Aliens invading and Apocalypse GBs together ..it'll end up being the same sort of thing.
Both are really bad situations after all and humans fight for survival  .

Thanks Gents. I tend to find the hardest part of putting this together is deciphering my cryptic notes I make as the suggestions are made.  :banghead:

That was hard.  The only way I could get it down to ten was to not vote for any of my own suggestions...

Cheers Chris - nice one. :thumbsup:

There were enough wacky suggestions that I didn't have much trouble voting at all this time... :wacko:

That was difficult! Save that list I think we're covered for a few years!

You could roll the F4 Phantom GB into the Century Series GB.

Thanks a lot for your work.
I had to re-read the suggestions topic to understand some of the GB.
Why the trans-Tasman war changed in "sea"?

BTW, to semplify my choices, I copied/pasted all the list in word and am deleting progressively the suiggestions I find less interesting (or too wacky).
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.
