4WD GB idea

[Mr Bowcat]

My eldest daughter has asked me to build Paul Walkers Skyline from the Fast & Furious films.

The R34 GT-R was AWD, so part time 4WD. Would this qualify for the GB?

[PaulTRose]

Works for me Bob.... Its got 4wd

[pjgtech]

I have a WW2 Commando jeep which I assume is 4WD, so may do that, with some figures, may even be another little dio?

[simontie]

I would like to take part no idea as to what but add me to your list if thats ok

[Airborne01]

Stick my name down mate - I'll do a 'quick and dirty' military vehicle!

Good idea. I have something suitable gathering dust at the bottom of the pile. So count me in. November 1st start sounds right.

[Nicko]

How many is that? Sounds like this will be going ahead 👍

[Mr Bowcat]

I think Paul needs to do a list of definites and maybes so we can get an accurate count.

[Geoffers]

I’ve got a 4x4 something being delivered soon so I’m in (if it goes ahead) 😊

I will do a discussion thread over the weekend

[PaulTRose]

Could someone with 'the power' please change the title of this thread to 'rules, regs and chat thread'

Could they also create the subforum in the 2025 GB section and move this thread to it

Ta muchly

1.......GB will run November 1st to January 31st 2026

2.......subject is 4 wheeled vehicles where all 4 wheels have power/drive

3.......military wise this can cover jeeps to armoured cars to trucks etc

Civilian wise its road cars, rally cars, race cars..... Theres even Le Mans type cars which are hybrids but all 4 wheels are driven by electric motors

4......at the appropriate time start your build thread in the to be created sub forum...... Pics of sprues and boxart is required

5.......finished articles post in the usual way

6.........most importantly....... Have fun!!!

Ask any questions here...... Chat away....... Everyone happy?

[Geoffers]

Happy? Yes, it sounds good Paul, I’m looking forward to trying something different to my usual aircraft builds.

Still going to have an RAF theme though as this is my intended build.



I’m pretty sure it’s 4 wheel drive so hope it’s suitable.

Geoff.

[PaulTRose]

At the minute im thinking of doing a Landie as i have 2 of these in the stash

[pjgtech]

Well this one is 8 axle, 16 wheel drive, so would this be eligible?
Are we just sticking to a max of four wheels?
Cheers

[PaulTRose]

The plan is just 4 wheels....or id be doing a 6x4 lol
