Or perhaps Cold War Berlin. That one city saw both sides put their new toys out for the other to see during the 40+ years of the Cold War. If any one geographic location can claim to be a focal point of the Cold War from beginning to end, it would truly be Berlin. From the original blockade and airlift to the fall of The Wall, while the Cold War itself could be worldwide at times, the symbolism was always there.

A GB with the idea of being about the Cold War is way too general.

A build that is based on "when the Cold War began" is interesting, but the date/ circumstances have to be understood. I'd suspect something like a "Berlin Airlift" GB could be really fascinating.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

I ran a 60th anniversary Korean War GB from 2010 to 2013 and we had a pretty good showing. I am a big fan on Cold War subjects myself. I am with Gamera on trying to finish up more of what I already have started before I commit to any more GBs. BUT, if you do get either one going and they are long running I will join up once I have cleaned my plate up a bit.

Gee whiz I love your idea there, I just pulled out and drooled over a couple of my Korean War subjects but I made a resolution to finish more stuff and start less.* I dunno, by the end of June maybe I'll be a little more free.

*One that I've already broken with ModelCrazy's Artillery GB...

The Cold War Begins GB?
Posted by greentracker98 on Saturday, May 23, 2015 9:14 PM

Does anyone have any plans for the cold war?  Korean War began 65 years ago on June 25 1950. I was just thinking about it. It could actually be run for 3 years. It unofficially ended July 27 1953.
