Quote from: Wardukw-NZ on March 14, 2023, 11:53:20 AMIt been a while but I'd like another zombie apocalypse GB...we had one some time back which of course I missed .
I'll bet there's still plenty of build ideas out there for one...ive already got 2 .

I'd support that if it was a general post-apocalypse theme rather than specifically a zombie-induced one. Personally I'm sick-to-death of zombies...
Weaver mate I'm quite happy with your suggestion and it's one my brain didn't even think of to be honest with ya.
Yeah a post-apocalyptic theme is a great idea..can then be anything from a virus...alien invasion ..group of seriously pissed off feminists...or zombies .
A GB where it can be anything your mind can invent to do with surviving a post-apocalyptic world.

Just look at the pics from Ukraine for ideas.
Bloody good idea Kerick..fact that just added to my second idea  :thumbsup:
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

After I posted that it kind of made me sad and POed about the suffering going on there because of a few people's egos. Not just Putin, there are others, just not as well known. It is an apocalypse for them.

Don't get wrong mate ..trust me I feel for those ppl in a big way..ive been in that sort of crap before and I got to leave..they don't and tell ya one thing..if I was still active..I would be there.
What I ment about it being a good idea is the wrecked vehicles..destoryed building pics are everywhere so no need to even look at the Ukraine for those.

Hope this isn't too late.....

Trials and Tribulations GB.  Anything used by trials/testing organisations (real or fictional) for testing machines, stores (weaponry, etc), processes, people, tactics - anything, any era.

Could include manufacturers using their own or someone else's products for test purposes.

So in a UK context (apols rest of the world) it would include A&AEE and it's successor organisations for aircraft, Martin-Baker for ejection seats.  Only a couple of examples, many many more I'm sure.

I have an idea for a 2023 One Week Group Build.
The subject could be to design/build new armaments like bombs, missiles, gun turrets, rocket launchers, etc.
Try to think of something new that would be carried by a plane, launched from a ship, or on top of a tank or other armored vehicle.
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.

Somewhere, I have a Roland Emmett cartoon of a "flying squad" tram pursuing and preparing to board a pirate tram

Double 'Em/Halve 'Em

Double the number of engines on your plane, or in you vehicle or boat/Halve the number of engines on your plane, or in you vehicle or boat.

The idea is to try to stay in-period & keep the overall power output about the same.

Don't think I'd try either version with a B-36 kit....................  ;)
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! :)

Old Kit GB could do with another go.

Fred

- 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.

Nope, the call for ideas stays open until 21st March and I'll look to organise the vote on 22nd. Originally plan was for the vote to be on the 21st, but I've a hospital appointment so things will slip a day, apologies.

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

As things stand we don't have a theme for the 1 week GB, so you can build whatever takes your fancy.

However once we get the 2023/2024 GB Season sorted (or well on the way to being sorted) I'll be organising a discussion about the future/way ahead for GB's in general and if someone wants to propose that the One Week GB should be "Themed" then it can be discussed and if necessary voted on.
