Round Two of the 2026/2027 GB Subject Poll - pick up to 2. The top 2 will go through to the 2026/2027 GB Season

The Luft'46 80 jarhe GB. As the Luft'46 theme turns 80 this year, why not? There have been a lot of new Luft46 themed kits the last few years,
The Chris's Choice GB - I choose the subject, and I set the rules (no-one else gets a say). Apparently I put a lot of work in and perhaps this would be my reward ? Suggestion by Zenrat
The Sci Fi GB - A proper anything goes Sci Fi GB. Not limited like the lunar vehicles/spacecraft GB.
The Desert GB. Terestrial or non-Terestrial
The Operation Unthinkable GB. The Allied Planning to Cover an Attack on the Soviet Forces in Eastern Europe 1945/46
The Search and Rescue GB (anything to do with search and rescue )

Dinosaurs could fit in Sci-Fi, Desert or Search and Rescue.
It all depends on your scenario.

Have a herbaceous dinosaur eating your local ginkgo trees. It would be just what they are used to.

Quote from: Nick on Yesterday at 08:58:34 AMI'm happy with the Aussie / New Zealand theme. It will be interesting to see what the other two are.

Is anyone else just a bit wary of whatever Chris may inflict on us after all these years suffering as GB Mod?  :wacko:

Yes.  :thumbsup:

And Yes...  ;)

Thanks for your efforts wrangling cats, Chris. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Quote from: kerick on Yesterday at 11:13:42 AMWe need more voters to break the tie! Come on folks!

Why?  :unsure:

The top two subjects go through. It only becomes a problem if there's a 3-way tie at the top of the pile.

Although, more people getting involved would be nice.  ;D

Well I do know and I was going to suggest it as a possible GB anyway, but held back.

Doesn't look like you get it now anyway, but I will let you know what it would have been after the vote  ;)

I must admit I find the Sci-Fi concept difficult to grasp. Sounds easy when you say "Sci Fi" everyone knows what that means, right ? Then you find out it's not as easy as that, as there are a few different views as to what constitutes Sci Fi, I know mine is probably a little basic to put it mildly  :angel:  The Lensman and similar.

As an aside we had a Sci Fi GB back in 2017. So I need to go back and look at the rules/discussion if it gets selected.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Chris let slip to me that he was going to suggest a Crystal Palace GB...

Almost anything can be Sci Fi.  A Sopwith Camel can be Sci Fi if it's strafing the Greek trenches at Marathon.  That's why it'll be a good GB subject.

So can a B-1 at Normandy, or a Nimitz-class carrier off Hawaii on 6 December, 1941.

I know, but I've always struggled with something going backwards in time as being Sci-Fi, purely personal. Sci-Fi to me is set in the future and involves space travel and things from outer space. Very simplistic, but then that's the level of sci-fi I read. As I said the Lensman books etc.

Well until the last 12 months Palace lifting silverware would have been sci-fi  ;)  ;D
