Robert Stuart Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 Thanks John, @Bullbasket, hope we can balance the builds suitably. Bedford QL? IBG kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 1 hour ago, Robert Stuart said: Bedford QL? IBG kit? Yep, that's the one. Originally, I wanted to do a conversion to represent the one that our CO used to use as a caravan when we went on exercise, but a lack of photos has shelved that for the time being, so just the standard kit (with some AM etch).

Robert Stuart Posted November 6, 2022 Author Share Posted November 6, 2022 Somebody mentioned trucks and bulldozers, in passing, earlier. I feel it is going to be difficult to present a bulldozer as a form of transport; trucks OK, but bulldozers? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW: If you want to display the tank transporter with a load (e.g. a tank), that would be fine, just so long as the focus of this build is the transporter. Chris @helios16v I couldn't have put it better - yes to what you just said. Talking of callouts, wonder if we can get @Hockeyboy76's interest - I think he knows something about transporting stuff. Just noticed recovery vehicles were allowed, good job I voted for this in the bunfight..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desert falcon Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 A CH-47 Chinnok would fit the build I assume? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @Robert Stuart, it would be the Trumpeter CH-47A then, which I believe is shown in a transport config. Cheers Johnny b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Barring something utterly catastrophic, I think this one will get through the Bunfight. I have been thinking through some ideas for this GB. I think the 1/35 London bus will almost certainly make the list. My plans for some British Railways 21T mineral wagons may get transferred to the Entropy GB if it makes it through. I really fancy building a rake of LNWR coaches to go with my Precedent loco. I have some Ratio kits for the 50ft arc roof stock in The Stash. They will not be strictly accurate for a Precedent, but we'll see what happens. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stuart Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 @Enzo the Magnificent Some coaches for that loco (Lucknow?) would be a great addition to the build. I'm sure you could improve the Ratio kits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I didn't sign up for this one it seems the Classics GB will not, sadly, make the cut so can I do the Heller Dh Dragon Rapide here? My other thought was a motorcycle but perhaps a single rider or even one plus pillion won't be sufficient to be classed as eligible? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the role of the one in the AA scheme (was that Heller?), but most would be great. 5 hours ago, Col. said: My other thought was a motorcycle but perhaps a single rider or even one plus pillion won't be sufficient to be classed as eligible? Maybe not a racing bike. A dispatch rider, or blood bike would work; there are other uses that'd fit, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you could improve the Ratio kits? Yes, it's Lucknow. It's not that the Ratio kits need improving. They represent the LNWR 50ft corridor stock which were introduced around 1898 and used for top link express work. Strictly speaking, Lucknow is an Improved Precedent (what later became known as Jumbos) built in 1891. By that time, the top link expresses were hauled by Precursor or George the Fifth class engines. It's much more likely that Lucknow would have hauled the earlier 42ft non-corridor stock. Kits of these coaches are available from London Road Models. However I only have the Ratio kits in The Stash, so Ratio it is! The London Road kits are brass and would make a very nice project. Depending on when this GB appears on the calender, I might look in to sourcing some but that's hardly building from The Stash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just took a look at some images on the London Road site; the LNWR coaches had an attractive livery, though keeping it clean may'n't have been fun.

theplasticsurgeon Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Excellent, TLC - Transports, Loaders and Carriers was successful at the Bunfight. Currently I'm thinking of this stash-lurker. or this one, if I can obtain decals for Night Fright. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngantek Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Nice to see this one get through, it provides a lot of scope for subjects that are less common on these boards. Well done everyone for voting. I suspect given my glacial pace and the number of other appealing GBs, I won't find time to join. Still, I've always wanted to build a support carrier like HMS unicorn (following @JTninja's excellent suggestion of HMS Reaper) which sounds about perfect but theres only one kit listed on scalemates and that doesn't even have a complete entry. I guess a normal carrier is a little dodgier (I suppose one might see the aircraft as its 'weapons'). Would a small inter war civilian passenger aircraft be suitable for example? Another might be finally resurrecting my MISC feelancer build maybe after your sterling effort @Robert Stuart? Andy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Glad this got through, the slot will dictate what I enter, an early slot and It'll be a Dakota, a later slot and will be a c-130. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
