I can find no fault with willygoat's choices - all are deserving.

I would like to see an indefatigable Class battlecruiser, full hull, 1:200. HMS Indefatigable is significant as the first Battlecruiser to blow up at Jutland. There are some nice photos here:

I would also like to see Barry finish his Daring Class destroyer.

Hi Chris,
man I could go on and on but...

An F4 as Moshe had requested would be very nice.
I was also thinking along the lines of

AGO C.II twin boom biplane
Any of the old Lohner flying boats

Some civil aircraft would be really nice.

Ryan-what kind of civil aircraft? Little or big? Cause I'm working on some big ones (Il-96, DC-10-30, and maybe a 737-200)

Since aircraft seem to be popular I would go for some Golden Age civil aircraft and race planes. Also some slurry bombers and a Ag-Cat crop duster. But since I'm a car nut, more well detailed cars especially brass era and classics. Then the just strange ones I like such as a Rumpler Tropfenwagen, Davis Divan, a detailed Taylor Aerocar, Peel 50, etc, etc, etc.

So now what happens? Does someone pick a suggestion and design something and do we know what one? (I still push the LST!)

Both of those look very interesting.

Whatever is designed, might you consider challenging the designer to dispense with the "traditional" design method that results in a seam down the center of the model?

I would like to see paper models move to the next level of development that includes bulkheads and part lines that follow the natural curves and panel lines of the original. Sure, it's more work, but there is no reason why a paper model should "LooK" like it's made from paper.
In fact, in my years on this and the other forum, I have noticed the awe with which our esteemed colleagues have held those models that exceeded the bar.

Halinski and some other publishers are moving in that direction with the level of accuracy and detail in their models. They have only that annoying seam hurdle to surmount.

Years ago, the philosophy of Accurate Miniatures models raised the bar on plastic modeling; put so much accurately detailed plastic in the box so that any modeler could build a museum quality model right out of the box!
