What themes would you like to see next year guys? Show rods and rally cars will be 2 of the themes but we need a few more. I'll set up a build starting in december for big trucks and it will run til july 2024 since they need more time. Maybe have another longer buid after it with details as the theme if anyone fancies that?

Thinking maybe machines but it might be a bit limited but tractors, dozer, backhoe etc. Maybe extend it to a weathered/ rusted theme? Have you got a theme in mind for the truck build?

Have you got a theme in mind for the truck build? just larger trucks or buses. Theres a few tractod kits available, the revell snappers which are very nice, the heller grey fergie and 70s tractor and theres a 135 next month. then there the ridiculously detailed miniart lanz tractors that are 250 parts that I'm sure if they were metal would run. I think heller are doing some trailers too but i have files to print them anyway |

Maybe a "left for dead" category. For "barn find/junkers/crashed cars, etc. Maybe with a Diorama base too. Been a few years since I've done one.  |

When I first read your post I thought you might've meant something like a Toon build and that sounds like a good idea too. |

Once the Big Rig is done, maybe a "large scale " for the following 6 months ?

febuary - rally cars. the galaxy and falcon were used in europe for rally cars beofre the mk1 ford cortina.
march - vans, pick ups and emergency vehicles
april - dune buggies and off road
may - show rods and toons use a kit or make your own version
june - factory stock
july - colours of your flag (local or national flags)
august - pre 48 inc hot rods and stockers
september - work machines and heavy plant
october - toys what do you pull on your trailers
november - wrecks and barn finds
decmber - rebuilds, glue bombs and parts box build

That looks great to me. Are we still thinking about larger scale for after the big rigs build? Reason I ask is, I have a 1:20 4wd van kit that I'll use in that build if it's big enough. If not, I'll slip it into 1 of the other category builds. |
