At what point can we suggest kits for a single subject build?

I have gone for the WW2 Allied Tanks build, but would be happy to change for the convinience of others!

I voted for the "all make the same tank" as I would like to see how everyone would tackle the same kit in their own way.

If that were to be the vote winner (and whilst it's early days it's certainly the most popular so far) how would the vehicle be selected?

A poll for each vehicle in the range? That could take some time if the 1:24th Aircraft poll is anything to go by.

Alternatively we could narrow down by era (pre WW2, WW2, Post war).

I would prefer it if the subject was something that is still in production as I don't have any in the stash un-started and don't want to have to spend too much money or time trying to get a "rare" kit on eBay or the such like, however I would still try and get one.

No problem Paul, in truth I suspect that if the 'all build the same kit' option is chosen then I would imagine that an in production kit will be the winner, sadly there are not many of us that have the 1/32 Lee/Grant in the stash

You can still join in on the Willys Jeep build Andy over in Group Builds plus

. I hope that the GMC will feature in a Group Build all of its' own sometime in the future.

Cheers

Looking longer term, maybe a softskin individual kit or theme build

Cannot see any reason why not Ratch, there are plenty of options there too

I really think just any WW2 Airfix Allied Tank would be best, just seeing Churchill after Churchill or Tiger after Tiger could get a bit tedious in this case, a broad overview could show how members deal with the problems of all different kits

we only do about 2 per year anyway, I thought it would be a way to empty the stash a bit and add a bit of variety. Besides then we can start on the Dio GB and other stuff

Well it looks like we will all be building the same kit for the next Military vehicle group build.

I shall lock this thread now and start a new poll where we can chose the build subject. The list will include all Airfix WW2 tank kits(hopefully I will remember them all) and will give the option to vote for more than one subject.

Cheers
