So, what's the discernible difference between a theme build and a group build? Asides from the spelling  ;)

The time scale. A Group Build lasts for a definite time, and a Theme Build is infinite, it  never ends.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

In that case I have a number of solo theme builds underway... ;D

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Maybe a Sci-Fi GB?  I think one was planned many moons ago but never happened?
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Not quite

A Theme Build can have a limited time span or it can be infinite, it depends on how those involved want to organise it. It's a very loose "group build" where those participating are free to play with the "rules" as much as they like unlike G.B.'s which have a firm set of rules agreed prior to the start. The site provides the area for you display your builds and then leave you to it. Dosen't have to win a vote, just needs sufficient participants to make it worthwhile.

I'm not sure mate, but it will be one of the choices in the next round of GB voting for the 2016/2017 season

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Getting this topic back on track...........

I just had the idea of kitbashing an A-10 Warthog aircraft with a STAR WARS model. But I'm not sure what to use. Either an X-Wing or a Y-Wing fighter? Which would be preferable? I'm almost thinking Y-Wing since that craft is more of a close air support/bomber type craft and shares similarities with the A-10.
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.

Go for the comedy vote and mix it with a Snowspeeder: that's the real close support type in Star Wars... :wacko:

I did a Venator Star Destroyer conversion in 2012, for a group build in another forum (that focussed on this specific kit).

I have also TIE Interceptor conversion in the project pile, for many years, similar to The Chaos' TIE Defender VK 1 mentioned before. Never had the nerve to start it, though.

What if you take the A-10 nose and cockpit and attach it to the Y wing fuselage but with the Y wing engines mounted close together and high on the fuselage. Some sturdy looking wings to mount the weapons on.

Maybe a TIE Fighter with (four?) engine pods from an A-10...?  :o
