Who hasn't declared what they have voted for yet please?

Cheers

Edited to add Dai & Mike.

Has James voted, or does he have to stand aloof, as instigator?

No I've not voted yet. I prefer people to follow their hearts rather than the leaders. However in the event of tie I guess I have the casting vote

I voted for Everythineg but Aeroplanes in both polls as I believe it breaks the mold and would encourage more people to take up the hobby.

Thats not fair I missed that chose when I voted

I have voted for Everything but Aeroplanes. I think we would get a good mix of builds

Sorry guys I'd not spotted the second poll,,Doh! I'd not spotted the second poll...Too busy messing around with Spitfires and Stringbags. I've gone with My first CBKs.

As I'm not around tomorrow morning I vote for My First CBKs.

I'll let the poll run to it's end and then announce the winner and how to proceed.

.... and the winner is My First CBKs.

Thank you all for taking part and being patience with the process, I know it's taken a long time but it is far better to go ahead with a good idea than race ahead with a poor one. I also feel we have a really strong idea for next year's display.

I hope those that didn't vote for the winning theme will still take as this SIG only works when we all pull together, it is your display.

I will post a clear set of rules and requirements, in the meantime you may want to seek a hypnotist and get them to take you back to your earliest modelling memories.

Thanks, James; I apprecaite your efforts.

Don't forget, everyone, that My First CBK doesn't have to be an aircraft. Be creative - My First CBK Dinosaur, or My First CBK Ship are equally valid here. Personally, I am aiming to do My First CBK Airliner, and My First CBK Theme, so there's a couple more potential ideas.

I'm way ahead as I already listed a series of "My Firsts ...." and I've been thinking of other variations since, but I'll wait until James provides us the [cue the ponderous music] Definitive Guidance

That's good because today I picked up a Daplo copy of the Airfix Scammell Scarab, this would have been the first kit I recall buying back in 1962/3 when I was nine or ten, my big brother had a Hornby ho/oo electric train set that had three rails (centre rail was for the electric pick up) and I built it to go by his station.

Looking back I now see my brother had conned me to stock his railway
