What takes your fancy for a Group Build

Perhaps some 1/32 Multipose figures, maybe set in a diorama

A Waterloo diorama or vignette in 1/76 or 54mm

Some English Civil War figures, either individually or as a vignette Think

What about a Gun Crew

any Airfix artillery through history, maybe on a base

Or a diorama featuring either the Forward Command Post, Jungle Outpost, Pontoon Bridge, Gun Emplacement or Coastal Fort

Register your vote and we'll get things rolling

This poll will run until the end of March 2008

Providing I have time, I wouldn't mind trying a few 1/32 Multipose figures.

EDIT:
Having said that, I have a Coastal Defence Fort and the 88mm Gun and Sd.Kfz.7 Kit.

Seeing as I will be building many, many 40mm Bofors Guns for the AA GB can they count in a Gun Crew GB too? Think

Otherwise it's the old Airfix 25pdr set for me.....Assuming Gun Crew wins of course!

TIA & All the best
(Can you guess what I voted for?

I'm a little confused. I'm up for the anti-aircraft GB, but it's listed in the vehicles section. The AA I want to do is based on the Airfix gun emplacement set. Would this count as a diorama?

I wouldn't count on the two builds running concurrently

The Gun Crew suggestion (as I interpret it) was to include figures Think

I am torn between building a diorama featuring either the Jungle outpost or Forward Command post or the gun crew option. I wish the desert outpost was still available as then I could site my already built Afrika Korps 88mm along side of it.

Cheers

Stu

I think I am going to vote for the Diorama option with the Forward Command Post, I plan to have a 25lb set up near ready to fire.

I have also decided on the diorama option, can kill two birds with one stone here, could combine the gun crew build in with this and I haven't had a go at a diorama in ages.

Cheers

If this swings in the direction of dioramas, it'll be an Airfix control tower and some other modular airfield type stuff for me.....Bofors Gun emplacements may well figure prominently!

All the best

Sgt.Squarehead · Posted: Fri 04 Apr 2008 20:13 pm Post subject:

Any decisions or conclusions reached at all guys?

TIA & All the best

It would appear there is a lack of interest

Maybe too many options

You might well be right!

The reason I asked (As you can probably guess!

) was because I will shortly be building Bofors guns in the 'AA GB' and I would like to model the deployed weapons here.

For what it's worth & all the best
PS - If you don't mind me saying so.....Might I suggest that '1:32 Multipose' is a bit restrictive! Think

Due to lack of consensus, I'll close this one down

Anyone with a new proposal can put it forward
