I have been thinking about a nice idea for a campaign:
Fact: most defense contractors at one time has made one or more civillian cars/ planes/ motorcycles/ boats... so... here's the idea:
working title: Heirloom ? Legacy ? ( still thinking about this one )
Object: build 2 models of the same past or present defence contractor: both models must be different, and one of them must be civillian.
For instance: you could build a Boeing 747 and a Boeing B17, or a Mitsubishi Zero with a Lancer EVO VI.. The possibilities are endless, especially since they are not tied to a particular forum.
All scales are acceptable, time to complete both models is at least 6 months, and at the end, a nice ribbon awaits.
So.. what are your thoughts ? Is the idea good or does it need refinement ?
The inquiring minds want to know.

Hey, that's a good campaign idea! Refinements not required. I think it's perfectly sound the way it is.
