                        Most of those are older Japanese Anime, quick rundown:
                        Votoms is a Sunrise anime featuring Armored Troopers

                        Quiet a variety of designs

                        SF3D currently known as Maschienen Krieger

                        Five Star Stories has robots like these controlled by artifical women.


                        Aura Battler Dunbine has insect like Robots in an alternate universe


                        Patlabor features tall Police Robots fighting against rogue robots


                        Lazyner has also some interesting designs(my son will be building his 3rd kit from this series soon).
                        Sorry, no pic handy.

                        One of my favs would be of course a Votoms Armored Trooper (Red Shoulder, Dog Carrier, etc) or similar.

                        But bassically anything that is less known and less seen(SF3D, Five Star Stories, Dunbine, Patlabor, Lazyner, etc) would be fine.

                        Depending how you decide to go with this GB Woody I'll sign up for two. I have all the details worked out for the USS Pyotr Velikiy and have been wanting to build a USS Kestrel or Aryabhatta. It has been great working with the gang on the last one and a wonderful motivator. Besides I can't wait to see more of Dans work!!!

                        That would be a great choice. If you get it done in time you could take it and your awesome fighters from the current build to Wonderfest.

                        A Starfleet group scratchbuild would be perfect for me. My next big scratchbuild will be an Avenger class from the Starfleet Museum. Approve [^] There isn't any reason we can't have several group builds going at once. Heck I might try a different subject besides ST. I love all Sci-Fi and Matt's SW project has been very inspiring.

                        If the GB starts after the first of the year, I might be inclined to come up with something. I could careless whether it is Star Wars or Star Trek or any other Sci-Fi series/show/book. I just would like to try a hand at scratch building or kit bashing.

                        I'll be getting a couple of Star Wars models this Christmas. If it's related to that I might join.

                        In "Next Big Build" we talked about a couple of options. I'm leaning toward one that is based on the ships from the Starfleet Museum. There are two ships for sure I would love to build in there.

                        The next Sci-Fi group build?

                        Anyone given any thought to the next Sci-Fi group build or group scratchbuild?
                        In a previous thread it was discussed but I forget which thread it was.
