discussion Your preference in Model Building. Trains, aircraft, military etc.

[rickoshea52]

My interests are quite loose. The BR blue and grey period of railways is the area that I prefer to model and admire but any well built and detailed model railway layout will always catch my eye.

For plastic modelling I enjoy many different aircraft from WW2 to the present day, typically, but not exclusively, RAF, USN, some IJN and Luftwaffe, but it's been a while since I did a German subject. Large aircraft are a draw like Nimrod, Hercules, Atlas, P3 Orion, EC 121, C97, AN24 Cub, C27 and Lancaster. In general though I'll build whatever takes my fancy.

Other stuff I build is small scale armour and soft skins, dioramas, buildings and of course railway wagons and locomotive detailing projects.

If the rumours are true and a 1/32 Bucanneer is released by Trumpeter then I will be getting one

I think my heart just missed a beat. Just like the wifes will when I buy one (at least).

Sci fi...Pass on that. Civilian cars and planes never really grab my attention. Have a soft spot for vintage cars. And VW's (bugs and busses).

My staple fodder is British Army and Royal Navy/FAA. And of course the RAF. Seen to have a few spitfire issues as well lol

Military vehicles for me...armour or soft skin, maybe the odd wokka wokka but that's it really...oh and a figure or 2...

I especially like ships but I enjoy aircraft, tanks and artillery pieces.

Armoured vehicles for me. in particular modern stuff. I do like them lightly weathered.

Well that is interesting. I guessed aircraft. Only 1 vote for Helicopters

But would never have guessed civilian vehicles as next. I thought Armour would be second.

I've built two helicopters, a UH-1B and a UH-1H, with another UH-1H and a Bell Sioux waiting. If I had been able to choose multiple selections I would have chose helicopters as well. I've also dabbled and will again, with one Bedford refuelling truck and will some day have a go at armoured vehicles and ships. Generally though if it isn't flying then it doesn't really spin my wheels. In addition to my aircraft stash I also have a Schwimmwagen, a Tiger I, an Opel Blitz refueller, some 1/72 figures and an HMS Ajax with PE. Apart from the ship and maybe Tiger, they are all waiting for a few dioramas to supplement a few of my aeroplanes.

Ian - here is a link. It may be a re-hash of a promise not being fulfilled from the comments some are making, but you never know.

Hi Laurie

I like to model a great number of different subjects. Of late, my builds have tended to be all aircraft but I'm hoping to get back to more armour modelling soon. Also, I'm keen to start a few bike kits I have and a couple of rally cars. These sorts of subjects require a totally different approach in terms of build and finish and I'm really looking forward to the change. I've also got a number of naval subjects on the back burner - 1/700 battle ships and cruisers and a number of 1/35 landing craft.

In short I guess I like a variety of different builds!

Thanks

Paul

All of the above...depends on what I fancy at that time.

I think I've done all of them except for a Train.

 

[Snowman]

I like them all, in no specific order........I think.

My interests are quite loose.

I have a liking for that Rick and a chuckle.
