Greetings folks!
I have been tossing around a few ideas for some future builds and some of them might actually turn out to be kind of neat campaigns. I thought I would toss them out there are see what people thought. Here my ideas...
1. Paper Panzers
Paper panzers seem to have become all the rage as of late and seems to be getting fueled by the game World of Tanks. And lets face it, the creativity allowed when building things that only existed in paper or prototype form can be really fun. This would encompass any what if tank or airplane (cause there are some of those too) from any nation at any time. Prototypes are ok too as long as they did not enter full scale production, like the Maus.
2. Kit Bash
Pretty simple take 2 or more kits to make a single subject. This can be of any subject matter, plane, cars, armor, figures, ships etc. I can see the ribbon for this one now - two puzzle pieces joined in the middle. :woohoo:
3. The Epic Build
This probably means different things to different folks. But for this I am think something very involved. To qualify there needs to be the following as a minimum; 3 aftermarket kits utilized (intense scratch building could be excepted instead), at least one figure (an exception could be made for space or ship models), and a base. The base is preferred to be a vignette or diorama, however a nicely finished display base is the bare minimum allowed.
4. 120mm
This is a fairly limited one. Any modern tank utilizing a 120mm gun. This is really just limited to a small group of modern tanks that use the Rheinmetall 120mm gun or a similar derivative. The Abrams, Leopard 2, Challenger 2, Leclerc, the Merkava tanks and a few others all fall into this category.
Those are my thoughts, what do you guys think?
