zebra Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) How about an emergency! group build - the emergency services, civil or military, and fairly broadly defined. A few ideas: Police - police cars, helicopters, fixed wing aircraft, boats, military police vehicles, there are probably sci-fi things that would fit as well Fire - fire engines/trucks, fire ships, firebombing aircraft Ambulance - civil and military ambulances, air ambulances, SAR aircraft, the helicopters from M*A*S*H Coastguard - coastguard boats, aircraft, lifeboats There's probably loads more that could fit the theme - mountain rescue, international rescue from Thunderbirds, oil spill response, the AA. Plenty to choose from. I'm not really into setting restrictive rules so if you can come up with a not-too-tenuous link to the theme, it works for me! Any takers? Interested parties so far: 1. zebra 2. helios16v 3. Valkyrie 4. vppelt68 5. Beazer 6. theplasticsurgeon 7. Corsairfoxfouruncle 8. Mjwomack 9. Hockeyboy76 10.

helios16v Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I'd be interested. I've got a SAR helo and a couple kits to make an old police car ('57 Ford Vicky sedan or wagon). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 How do you envision recovery vehicles fitting in, such as tow trucks or military recovery vehicles (ie: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/trumpeter-00370-lav-r-light-armored-vehicle-recovery--102662, https://www.scalemates.com/kits/hobby-boss-82417-aavr-7a1-ram-rs--101403). Bit of a grey area and maybe getting a bit outside your intended scope, but figured I'd ask for clarification. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe on the fringes of the scope, but still inside it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I’d be up for this too a few US Coastguard HH60s and 65s in the house stash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Fire Control Huey Cobras. Oh, and also... PS. Don't count me in, I'm not committing to GBs any more due to a complete inability to complete them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I want to do an Academy WW2 USAAF Ambulance kit. So, please count me in too. V-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beazer Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I could try and do a Canadian water bomber. Count me in if this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 There was an Emergency Services GB in 2011, so high time for something similar again. Now off to check my stash for suitable subjects. Nothing that really fits the spirit. A few transports - but none of those actually has Red Crosses.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Might give me a chance to build an MRAP or converted APC to a law enforcement vehicle. https://www.tactical-life.com/lifestyle/military-and-police/mrap-police/ Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjwomack Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Lacey Scott & Knight in Bury St Edmunds had a load of white metal fire engines in the model auction 6 months ago- good job I hadn't seen this at the time- that's some money saved! But they might have some more in the next one. Go on, put me down though as ever my GB completion rate is on life support and needs emergency treatment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Would a water bomber used to fight forest fires count ? If so i may actually opt that as a possible build ? Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beazer Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Fires up north here so I’d say it contends as an emergency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
