Brad Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) I'll give this one more shot at getting up. The idea here is building an aircraft/tank/car that has an significant piece of artwork involving an animal. Lot's of potential here, from airliners (QANTAS with their big roo tails), shark mouthed aircraft, Tiger meet, etc. A couple of examples below of what you could do. (I just bought the swordfish mig myself). Edited September 2, 2023 by Brad 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Definitely in. I assume that the Wehrmachts WWII zoo is eligible, in which case I have a vintage Tamiya Panther in the stash as a start.

Hi mate, it needs some kind of animal art or animal based colour scheme(tiger stripes, leopard spots etc) to qualify. Just a standard camouflaged panther tank doesn't qualify. Sorry.

Marklo Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Not to worry, I’ll probably do it in ambush colours but still not eligible. This would be my next choice. I think it fits the brief… That said I wouldn’t say no to adding a second hind to the collection would this qualify? It’s billed as an alien tiger.

Paul821 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 and there was me thinking from the thread title that I could enter these currently on e-bay for a mere £200, although the animals without a box are fairly cheap 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That penguin is not long for this world...leaving aside that polar bears wouldn't know what a penguin was apart from being small and yummy-looking!

CliffB Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Me too please ... Just a thought @Brad, would it be worth getting the word 'artwork' into this GB's title (to distinguish it from the All Creatures Great and Small one)?

Robert Stuart Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Seeing this, yes, that sounds fun. Did a Swiss F-5 Tiger in last year's STGB Depending on the definition of a 'significant piece of artwork involving an animal' (does it include unit badges?), I could be tempted to build a Tiger tank I believe some Tiger units used animal symbols; s.Pz.Abt. 501 used a tiger for their unit device, s.Pz.Abt. 502 used a mammoth, s.Pz.Abt. 503 used a tiger's head and s.Pz.Abt. 505 used mounted knights in various colours. There is a possibility that 510 used a bear, but photo confirmation is lacking. Pity this is limited to aircraft/tanks/cars. A lot of British royalty included a lion or three (six?) in their coats of arms: Robert the Bruce (one lion); Richard I (two, later three lions), and Llywelyn ap Lorwerth, Prince of Gwynedd (four lions) to name a few.

Skodadriver Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I'll put my hat in the ring for this. There are plenty of civil airliners with animals on them ranging from FedEx's "Panda Planes" right through to the entire fleet of Frontier Airlines.
