nspreitler Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Next summer are two major anniversaries, the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, and the 75th anniversary of the invasion of Normandy. I'm curious how much interest there would be in GB for either or both of those subjects. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I would be interested in a D-Day build. I think. It is hard to say what I'll want to be doing a year from now. This November is the 100 year anniversary of the end of WW I. If you're interested in having a memorial build, I suggest proposing that, and having it this fall.

phantom Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I would do a D-day build. Make a poll question and get some votes....and interest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niart17 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 BTW, there is already a call and I think a poll set-up for an Apollo 11 50th anniversary group build. not sure where it sit officially though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K2Pete Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I had placed a poll for the 50th of the Moon Landing GB a couple months ago, but the Group Build rules are changing and I'll put up a poll for that when I hear the needed advance wait between poll results and GB start. There will probably be way-y-y more interest in the D-Day GB so if you wanna run that one, that'll keep ya plenty busy! But I'll wait till I hear from the mods re: the New GB rules. Thanx Bill and nspreitler! Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I could see doing the Moon Landing GB, still waiting for a HobbyCraft GB.---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I did a 100 anniversary of the start of WWI and it didn't get much traffic even though the poll showed otherwise. Things could be different now though and it all comes down on the timing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 An apollo 11 50th Anniversary GB sounds good. I have the latest re-issue of the monogram Saturn V which was re-issued for the 40th anniversary. Time flies when a model is in your stash. Before it was re-issued I tracked down an original issue of the kit, at that time I became fascinated with the Apollo progam. I also have the Estes Saturn V, a flying model rocket that has been on my "when I get a round to it" list since 2010. It has vacuform parts... For the Normandy Idea, did you have any ideas regarding the scope of the build? A very interesting amount of subjects are available if you include Ships, armour, aircraft, figures.

Check the decal sheet, one of the later releases had all the "red" markings (USA on 1st stage and UNITED STATES on 2nd stage) printed in black. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nspreitler Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 I'll start a poll for a D-Day GB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
