Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 As a frequent purchaser of (Modelcollect 1/72) Russian ballistic & cruise missile systems, I recently suggested adding 'The Lords of Armageddon' (nuclear delivery systems) as a fifth category in @trickyrich's Specialists GB, but the rules were already laid down and a slot earned, so it wasn't to be. However on reflection, with a little bit of expansion, the idea might have merit as a GB of its own.....'The BM Armageddon GB'. Simple premise,.....You build a model and create a backstory explaining your subject's significance in your own personal end of the world scenario. That's it. As all these scenarios are (Inshallah! ) WHIFs, pretty much any scenario should be acceptable, so if @AndyRM101 or @Will Vale were to decide to build the Death Star doing for Alderaan, it would be every bit as acceptable as @whitestar12chris's beloved SSBNs laying waste to a whole hemisphere. I'd welcome @Mrs PlaStix & @Gimme Shelter's dinosaur models too, if they can be made to look suitably shocked! So, sign up.....Time may be running short! 1 - Sgt.Squarehead (Chief Conspirator) 2 - Col. 3 - whitestar12chris 4 - Marlin 5 - Giorgio N 6 - the South African 7 - Corsairfoxfouruncle 8 - trickyrich 9 - Robert Stuart 10 - helios16v 11 - Bonhoff 12 - Botan 13 - Hockeyboy76 14 - CliffB 15 - Dazzio 16 - Kallisti 17 - Enzo Matrix 18 - rockpopandchips 19 - Ted 20 - Arniec 21 - Tim R-T-C 22 - Two Little Ducks?

Col. Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Sounds like a laugh. Count me in Don't have an V-bombers in the stash and while this sounds a good excuse for them I'll maybe go with a Supermarine Scimitar if that's allowed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Cheers for the support guys, so long as you provide a brief scenario almost anything (suitably apocalyptic) could be a viable subject. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I'd be interested in this one ! Not sure if my scenario would be anything special as I'd simply like to build some nuke armed aircraft, but probably the truth of the missions planned for many pilots during the cold war would be scarier than many Holliwood movies... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 Cheers Giorgio, you are on the list.....I figure a background scenario for nuclear capable aircraft/ships/trucks needn't bee too complex, "mission complete" would sum it up well enough IMHO.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 Nice one Shaun, that's the spirit.....Mad is good! IMHO. This is about as mad as I'm likely to go (two out of three are already coming for Christmas): We Dived Too Deep! PS - Sadly my Shinkai doesn't come with 'Sea Creatures'.....I couldn't find that version anywhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I have two spare Mk.7 Devices in 1/48th scale. Count me in with a go fast USAF Nuclear strike in NATO colors. Probably a Hun or a VooDoo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 for a while I felt guilty not letting you add a 5th theme to the "Specialists GB"......then I saw this!!! See what happens when you're allowed to run free and completely mad! Count me in for sure , either some "End of the World" Soviet Missile system, 1/35th of course or maybe one of these... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to find these ! The “Hans” & “Königsluther” look very close to Battle tech mechs. The others look close but as if customized.

The others look close but as if customized. they're not cheap, especially the Königsluther, but they are still available. There were quite few in the range but unfortunately they've cut the 1/35th one's right back. Plus they are resin, and really nicely cast. Here's the link to the site, it's about the only place you find them now, very rarely they show up on evilBay. http://www.dustgame.com/products.php?sid=50 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 This would be a fun one to follow, even if just for some of the stories. My best bet would probably be a rogue agent captures/steals a nuke laden B-58, drops the bomb/s in the USSR, USSR retaliates w/ ICBM lob, west returns serve w/ a volley of their own...and before you know it nothing north of the equator exists anymore.
