Round One of the 2024/2025 GB Subject Poll

[NARSES2]

Round One of the 2024/2025 GB Subject Poll - pick up to 10 for entry into Round 2

Nowhere near as many suggestions as last year, and for that I thank you 

They are basically in the order in which they were suggested.

I've included all the suggestions made but have merged a couple of very similar ones so as not to dilute their vote.

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.

I'll leave it open for a 10 days or so and organise round 2 on or around 1st April.

I've voted, and since I'm a backstory writer rather than a modeller, I'd be prepared to have a go at ANY of these.  Thank you all for these ideas.

[Steel Penguin]

voted, and there is a good breadth of options, some are rather though provoking as well,  thanks folks.

[Weaver]

Voted. Some tasty ones there: I just hope I have more time in 2024/2025 to have a go at some of them!

[kerick]

Some interesting ones for sure! I'm interested to see what comes out of this first round.

As always, you don't have to have a GB to build a whiff.  I something on the list gets your creative juices simmering then go for it.

[Old Wombat]

Although I voted for several of the options (I used far less than my full 10 votes) I may not enter any of the GBs ... or I may enter all of them.

Comes down to what I want to build at the time.


Of course, to build anything, I have to finish cleaning up the modelling room first.

The mess is messing with my mojo ... Which is certainly there, I want to build models, but entering the modelling room & seeing the mess just makes it all too hard.

Still, I'm about 80% there. Just got to keep plugging away at it.

Thanks for organizing this Chris. 

looks like a few I can live with in the lead, and a few I am rooting for to make the cut!

Exactly right. I doubt if I enter more than a third of the GB's. I just organise them

Indeed.  Thanks Chris for running with this.

Hawk, Tornado, Typhoon.  Thats the piston engined products of Curtis and Hawker, yes?

So there are at least two of us on the same wavelength!

I hadn't thought of that.... but I like the idea of including all types with those names.

and they would look good in 80s, grey green, or as the red arrows,  though getting sidewinders / sparrows / Paveways under them may be a bit tricky

Not at all.  All it takes is the correct glue.
