How about "Gate Guardian"

[mlp]

As Jeeves added at my plane on poles ( https://www.modelersalliance.com/forum/wesendorf-field/74751-it-should-be-a-monthly-build-but?limit=8&start=8 )

Would be a cool dio idea...like a Monument or War Memorial build?

Well then, How about a Gate Guardian campaign?

The idea would be:

Do a whatever thing (tank, ship, plane, canon ....) on a pole. It does not have to be necessarily a gate guardian but it has to be on one or more poles.

Some examples I found at the web what we are talking about here

... sure, why not

Now that would be interesting.

I'm in.

 

[Jeeves]

I am definitely in...just need to figure out what I want to use...this can be made to be pretty easy or real complex...here's an easy one

Bob-- this would have been good with your MiG build

 

[moon puppy]

It would be Mike, who do I send the Mig to?

Thinking about building up my Hobby Boss KV-1 for this one...there seem to be plenty to choose from...

This actually sounds kinda fun. So many projects....

 

[Jeeves]

Hey John!

but you are right.

If we get enough folks interested it's a go.

 

[Jeeves]

I'll do one of these with my KV-1 either way, but it is always more fun to do something like this as a group so you can see other people's interpretations of the theme. I wonder what Mike Bishop might have in the way of bases for this...

Neat idea!

OK - it's about a month ago - so - I give it a recall anyone interested?

Here's one I think this is at Edwards. I found this pic when I was researching for my F-104 G / NF-104 conversion...


One cool gate guardian fellas!.

[Jeeves]

I'm in for one...

 

[moon puppy]

Get 10 and we'll go.

I'm in with something..not sure.

 

[MrT]

Looks like the count is three.

I can do a Ca-27 Mk-32 Sabre on a pole that's in a town 20 min's from my place.

[kryptosdaddy]

This is an interesting topic, but I'm not in. Can't wait to see whay you folks come up with! .CR

Here's another, not a gate guardian but a monument in Russia. A friend of mine took this a few years ago while on vacation there. He said it had something to do with Napoleon, but I don't know the significance. Really cool monumental cannon though....

I would like to see one of you big gun lovers try this. lol. CR
