"They're selling hippy wigs in Woolworths, man. The greatest decade in the history of mankind is over and there's going to be a lot of refugees" 

I'm almost glad I caught it by nine months.

Well I was 16 in 1968 and started work. Was never a "hippy" type much more a skin/suede head with my two tone tonic mohair suits which cost more than a months salary  Was watching George Gently the other night and the episode was set in 68. Bachus had a two tone Harrington jacket exactly like the one I had

The Magic Number GB.

Here's a nice open wide one: any model/profile/story related to the number three. It might be a three-engined conversion of an existing plane, or a two or four engined conversion of a three-engined one. It might be a three fuselage/boom version of a double or single one. It might be a ship with three hulls, or three turrets, or a tank with three turrets or three guns.

But H, surely 23 is the magic number...

Anniversary builds tend do pretty well (like Battle of Britain)

Some significant anniversaries in 2016:

75th for Pearl Harbor attack. Plenty of land/sea/air ideas.  Perhaps that could finish on December 7th.
25th of Gulf War 1
25th of  Soviet Union dissolution


I also re-nominate my "oh-snap!" GB idea.  Kit basis must be a snap kit, extra credit for those really basic cheap kits we did as kids (and adults  )  I am sure some of the talent on here could really do a number on some of those.

That's got potential: the Airfix Angel Interceptor is a snap kit....

In 2017 we commemorate 100 years of Soviet Revolution. What about a Soviet GB?

All noted and will be in the poll

If you want civilian options, a three-wheeled car or three-wheeled motorbike would fit right into this of course.

You could modify a Revell Trabant into a three-wheeler as the eternal victim of that well-known East German comic character, Herr Bean....

For some of us, the 60s were too good to us,we'll get around to talking about it when the rainbow fades............................what was the question

How about a "Ten Year" Group Build (with a possible two year extension). Might just get something finished in time.

I second this.  Can we have the extension now please?

Otherwise 'Vice/Versa - Piston to jet/jet to piston etc' and 'Frog/Novo/Old kit based' would get my votes
