Round Two of the 2025/2026 GB Subject Poll - pick up to 3

Basically, I used 8 votes as the cut-off point. Nothing scientific about that, I just thought it was relatively sensible given the number of votes cast plus it gives a varied choice of subjects. Apologies to those whose favourites missed the cut.

Now I've given you 3 votes, although you don't have to use them all. The 3 categories with the most votes will go forward to the 2025/2026 GB season.

I'll leave it open until the afternoon of Monday 28th April (UK Time) or thereabouts unless it's apparent we've come to a natural conclusion (31 people voted in Round 1, down on last year, so I could close around the time we reach that number. Notice will be given)

So get voting.

Thank you in advance for your participation.

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

Only three votes? :(

With those prospects I'd need a least ten..........................  ;)  ;)

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

So far it's Plowshares leading, followed by Space/Lunar craft, with a tie between Downfall and amphibians
The F-106- 26 December 1956 to 8 August 1988

Nicely sorted Chris ..thanks mate 😄
Still no idea what Operation Downfall is about but it sounds kinda interesting 🤔 😏
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Didn't this website just have a Plowshares into Swords group build a few years ago? If so, why do it again?

And Thank God the F-4 Phantom group build never made it. I always thought that was an ugly jet. I never liked it.  :angry:
Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

As I recall on the Phantom rollout day some general said it looked like someone stepped on it's nose and kicked in the butt!

No, we had a Swords-to-Ploughshares GB - completely different principle.

Can we not do this please, it influences the vote (it just influenced mine).  Chris has chosen to hide the results until one has voted and we should respect that.
Thank you and sorry for being Mr Naggy-Britches.   :-\

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

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