BSC 2025: Discussion

[Burgundavia]

Well friends. It is Nov 1st and it is now time to start talking about BSC 2025. Who's in? When should we start? Thoughts on theme? I'm happy to run it again (maybe I'll be able to sneak out some admin duties before the start too, clean up the forum a bit)

[has.been]

I'm in!
Ideas:-
Something NOT man (or anything sentient) made.
It floats.
Bridge.
Infernal Machine.
Time Machine.
Victorian Sci-Fi.
Supply Train.
It was planned, but never built.

Sounds exciting.

[Tarnegol]

I'll have another go.
As for suggestions, something natural would make a change.

[BeneathALeadMountain]

Some possible ideas:

- a tree (classic, Sci fi or fantasy)
- the entrance
- forgotten
- faithful steed
- home

I am open to just about anything.  My only limitation may be resetting up my hobby space as it looks like we are moving house again.   

[Dr Mathias]

Just commenting to make sure I don't miss an announcement 

[Burgundavia]

I like the idea of "something natural" or maybe "overtaken by nature"

What about 'Vessel'? It could then be a ship of some sort (water, air, space) or something to do with containers / storage / cargo etc.

"Vessel" sounds great!

Suitably vague, which makes it great as a subject.

[Daeothar]

I might be in again, even though this year's go took up so much of my hobby time I've not recovered even by now. Seriously; my painted miniatures output has never been this low. Ever.

So while I'm of course capable of building something nice, I'm totally incapable of doing that without completely hamstringing myself with my compulsive detailing affliction (CDA). Meaning that I'd like to, but I might give it a pass, in favour of less ambitious, but more prolific projects.

Still; you never know if the itch doesn't surface after all at the last moment 

[Tarnegol]

What about 'Vessel'?

I have an idea that would suit - better read the copy of "Ships and Seamanship in the Ancient World" that I bought ages ago and have never opened...

[McMordain]

I'm definitely interested. As for the theme I'm ok with anything, though vessel sounds good.

[Spinal Tap]

Always been agog at some of the wonderful builds but think I should step out of my comfort zone and throw my hat in the ring.
