Quote from: seadude on May 28, 2026, 03:06:46 PMWhen I saw the Australia/New Zealand GB suggestion, I couldn't help but think of the Lord of The Rings films. After all, the majority of those films were made in New Zealand. Maybe somebody will make a Hobbit sized model invading the Australian coast. Kangaroos to the defense!  ;D  ;D

Hobbits and Elves invading Oz, to help Man retake the continent from the imperious forces of the mighty Emu Army.

Oz is actually the Undying Lands

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.  Revelling in numptytism.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

Right I will close this tommorow (Wednesday) morning UK time and get Round 2 up and sorted.

As for Round 2 I think I will depart from the norm and as the The Antipodean/ANZAC GB is so far out in front that will go through to the 2026/2027 GB season automatically and then all those suggestions garnering double figures in Round 1 will go through to Round 2 in order to choose the remaining 2 GB's for the season.
