How about a site where everyone can display any models, figures, structures, etc. from time periods outside of the WW2 era. I know some of the guys have some WWI, Korean War, Modern Warfare and Sci-Fi stuff that they are rightfully proud of. I myself have some American Civil War Figures in the works. Perhaps as a stickey attached to the Modelling Forum? I don't know how it would work best.

Just a thought,

I'd like to see all of that also. People should be proud of their work and of their collections.

The only question I have, like you, is where to put it all.

One idea is to allow medals from other eras in the Medal Forum. I believe there already are some.

We could do the same with models and so on.

If people object to the loss of "purity", and I surely can understand that, then I can simply make subforums in each of those areas.

I'm open to either of those, and to other suggestions as well.

What do you all think?

[McCoy]

Not a bad idea! I'd prefer it as a subforum to the modellin' section.

[cyberia]

I agree on the sub forum as a start. We can always expand as the need grows.
If there is one thing The Zone is getting at, its expanding.

Excellent idea Dave.
Hey were you the guy who built the ironclads or am I thinking of somebody else?

Nah, not me Nick, although I might have a half-built one laying around somewhere ...... gotta lot of half-built stuff!

[cyberia]

Don't forget Warhammer. There seems to be a big interest in it out there.

[Panzermacher]

Sounds good to me.....I like looking at other stuff like that too!

[MAGNA]

A sub forum would be the best for this. There are so many other models out there and maybe more techniques to go with them.

[cyberia]

Well then, lets do it.

[Jim O]

Clearly there is enough demand for a modeling subforum. I'll create that in a few.

What about items from other eras? Should non-military stuff go in Kilroy's Place? What about non-World War II medals, etc?



BTW, razorboy has graciously agreed to take on the moderation duties in the new subforum.

Good questions. Let's have a consensus from the members.

[Geek44]

I'm easy.

[Whiterook]

I'm kinda late to this party, but I agree with the subforum idea in the Modeling Forum. In there, we can also have Warhammer, miniatures painting, etc. Yeah, I'd love to see "other stuff" too.

[Tom Houlihan]

I don't see anything wrong with it. Even a die-hard WWII modeler will stray into other areas now and again!

Very true.

[MAGNA]

Not worried what goes in there so fine with me.

[LAH 1 SS]

sounds good to me i have some models to build for suiz canal and french indo china that i can add there when they are built will this also include ww1 as well

[Whiterook]

Sounds like we have a go! This is exciting!!! I know we have strayed out of WWII in the build competitions (I know I have), so it makes perfect sense to have a sub-forum for regular (non-build) threads that cover periods other than WWII.

I know I should have checked before starting this, but what forum covers minor combatants in WWII? I am particularly interested in the Canadian Army...a subject I know relatively nothing about, which I am hugely embarassed to admit, considering my Dad served in the Canadian Army in WWII.
