unless all you want to do is attract the Pros and their little army of supporters who come in grab off the goodies and never be seen again.
Been there,done that as they say with both modeling and sim racing. You'll lose people,not gain any.
I want to be friends with the community and not a competitor.

)
It's actually quite a good idea, specific but still with a wide enough option to keep most happy and being a Kiwi orientated site it's a good idea for a first GB.

I know I rib you guys but it's one of the reasons I moved here, I feel that England has lost her pride but NZ has bucket loads to go round

Did the Kiwis use German tanks?

Gary wrote: I like the idea, I could build my spitfire or buy a Scorpian off Ewan. Or I could make a diorama with the whole NZ navy done in 1/72 scale I should have it done by the weekend and it wouldn't take up much space.
But seriously the more I think about it the more I like the idea of a GB theme of NZ armed forces past and present.

I'd be up for a NZ Group Build as it is appropriate for a NZ oriented modelling forum, not sure what I could do (I've already built a Skyhawk!)

Not exactly; I was rather thinking of a collaboration between several modlers like for example one who does the aircraft, anotherone the tarmac vignette and maybe a third wo does the ground personal. That would certainly be fun but what I don't clearly see for now is how to assemble the whole stuff at the end of the day, thought that we're all separated by thouthends of miles. Thus good idea but quite difficult to organize.
