GROUP BUILDS 2015 POLL

c'mon "bad idea"- gets my riding crop out.....

Think I have an idea and something in the stash for all the front runners except BoB.  Gotta get creative about that one I guess......

If it is a tie, I'd say that we do the Battle of Britain one to fit the dates, July 10th to October 31st. That seems too long so maybe cut it down to start 1st August and finish on Battle of Britain day which is the 15th September.

And as my favourite bid for the Africarama is not going well, I might just demand the result be declared illegal like that for Bradford West!

Under which heading would Mad Max (ish) vehicles go? I'd like to try something different.

Sci Fi.


Interestingly, just about everything we build could be slotted under Sci Fi because every whif involves an "Alternate Reality" or "Parallel Universe" where things are not quite as they are in the RW.

Yes, but it could also fit a couple of the others. Civilinise/Militarise it for example which is the current leader. Most of the suggestions are not that strict in definition and we know what supple minds wiffers have  

Your second point is interesting as I've often pondered on the point myself, especially as regards the Sci Fi/Fantasy boundry

If this poll is right i'll eat Kit's hat...

A kind but misguided relative gave me one of Airfix's Supacat Coyotes and I've been struggling to 'idea' it. Mad Max....yes! Chris Eubank's latest runaround....more yes Two categories available there.

You can justify anything with a bit of lateral thinking.  For example what if the Battle of Britain referred not to the events of 1940 but to road wars fought on the highways and byways of the UK between highly modified vehicles...

Agree Mil/Civ would work.  Those folks in the Mad Max universe could do quite well with some ex-military vehicles, maybe a land rover or a Saladin, etc., suitably Mad-Maxed of course- and they didn't seem to be too concerned about uniforms....

Battle of Britain in August 1970 when the Nazi flying saucers return from their base on the Moon?

Land Battle of Britain with amphibious German tanks being straffed by Westland P.12 Wendovers?

Branston or Brown Sauce ?

Just the weekend to go for voting lads. I'll lock the poll on Monday morning (GMT) and make the necessary announcements after the scrutineers have checked 

I'll also be in touch with a couple of those who volunteered for moderating....you have been warned
