Anatol Pigwa Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Update 10.06.2020: Timeframe removed, Austro/Hungary and Ottoman Empire explicitly accepted. Subject description With the success of the Nordic GB, as well as great response to the French GB proposed for next year I would like to throw another contender in the ring in same vein of a part of the world which deserves more attention from the modelling community IMHO: the Intermarum GB. The main idea is to showcase some of the smaller nations. The Intermarium was a concept floated around after WWI by polish politicians centered around creating a coalition of the smaller eastern european (predomnantly slavic) nations. While it never got off the ground the geographical area lends itself to some interesting modelling. Therefore I propose the modern day intermarium as a starting poont for a GB. All subjects - civilian or military - welcome. Eligible countries would include: Albania Bielrussia Bulgaria Czech Republic Estonia Hungary Kosovo Kroatia Latvia Lithauania Macedonia Moldovia Montenegro Poland Romania Serbia Slovakia Slovenia Ukraine The Intermarum as defined for the GB. Subject would be any equipment or unit manufactured in these countries (or their historical predecessors) or spotting the livery of one of those countries IRL. In the spirit of ditching the timeframe, subjects from Austro-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire are expicitly accepted well. The only restriction is that subjects in the liveries of the German Empire, the Third Reich, Soviet Union as well as modern Russia are excluded. However equipment from those "big players" in livery of the nations included is most welcome. So bring out the Czech Danas, the Luka Modric figurines, the Hungarian Gripens, the Bulgarian Messerschmitts, Kubicas WRC Car, the Romanian T-55s, the Vilna Urkraina etc...

modelling minion Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Now this is right up my street Marcin so you can most definitely add my name to your list. I was thinking of proposing a Balkan GB so this covers that area and even more interesting countries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus Tura Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Marcin, Please put me down for this GB. Enjoying figure modelling right now, I wonder why you need a start date. Why not make it any time? That would take in many other interesting things, or at least people, and still exclude the Ottoman Empire, Soviet Union and Third Reich?

Feel yourself added You have a good point, as particularly for figure modelling the pre-modern times offer a wealth of options. I put in the start date in because the idea of Intermarum originated after the fall of the three empires - ottoman, german and russian. I will ammend this now. It is just important for me to cut out the "big players" as my intention is to spotlight the smaller nations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
