How about military "work horses". Can be either air or land vehicles. Focus is on things which were used to haul cargo.

i agree ZZZZZZ esp with the POS IJ truck

well some would be happy with such..but

I'd go for the Fiesler 156 storch, that would class as a workhorse, or the StuG.

......or maybe......seeing as though we just had boats. How about an amphibious vehicle for those who want to build an armour piece, or a sea/float plane for those who want to build an aircraft.

Hey yall!!!Amphibious vehicles would be nice!!!! :wink: But hey a Float plane dio would be nice to!!!There is alot of cool ideals that could come from the Float plane ideal but that might keep some folks from entering the contest!!! If your not into makeing customs you might not want to enter---but a open dio contest can be open for store bought or home made planes/vehicles!!! That way more folks would enter the contest!!! ---RED---

How about any 1/32 vehicle upgraded to look the most realistic? Like customized FoV or 21c tanks made to look as close to the real thing.

......or maybe......we devise a list. Works for both 1/32 and 1/18. Basically this list would be vehicles that have been recurring on our "wants" lists.....so f4's, A-10's, Mosquito (sorry i'm more a plane guy and don't know what you ground pounders are waiting on - but you get the idea). Then when we have say 5 planes and 5 ground vehicles, we choose which one we want to go for (NOT limited to first in first served - so if everyone decides they want to build an A10 they can).

Red,
I am sure you can do anything well in the dio dept. Your work speaks for itself. This was no slam against you at all. Your passion are Marines and boats they use. I wish I had one-tenth the talent you have in creating something from scratch.

Still here guys. My 2 year old is giving my wife and I hell lately (no sleep). Still considering our options. The other judges and I will come with something for you shortly.
