2026 Campaign Ideas

I guess we’ll be needing some ideas for next year.

The Lockheed corporation was founded in 1926, so a Lockheed at 100 might be nice for wingy things.

I was thinking starting a “Yugoslav wars”-campaign, starting march 31, 2026 commemorating both the 35-year and 25-year beginning and end of the conflicts in the Balkans.

Having spent quite a few years working for Lockheed, I think I will build a broken computer. No. No, I will not.

Sorry. Inside joke.

Lockheed campaign sounds fun.

An X-planes one would also be good. Lots of material out there to choose from.

That sounds like a great idea. I’m working on two different Lockheed Martin scratchbuilds right now. Unfortunately they be done way ahead of 2026.

2 sounds like the start of a great set, a set of three. :wink:

It’s already looking like there’ll be plenty more. Hopefully I can do one for 2026.

I am 100% starting a half track campaign sometime in 2026. I keep saying I will and then life gets in the way.

I need to stop collecting and actually build a half track

I like it, Phil! Do you want to work up an actual proposal?

One hundred percent for half track campaign.

Do not have anything for Lockheed but can look to buy something.

Do not have anything for Balkans but can look to buy something.

I plan on running a Panther campaign in 2026–anything Panther.

How about…

  • Climate: Build any model depicting a climate usage area such as the desert, beach, Arctic, jungle, forest, mountains, oceans, etc.
  • Lunar: Sci-Fi and NASA model kits welcome. Build any vehicle or spacecraft on a moon’s surface. Can be Earth’s moon or an exoplanet’s moon.
  • Video games: Build any kit that represents a real published video game and tell your background story behind it.
  • Dome models: Build a scene (horror, fantasy, funny, etc.) or story inside a plastic dome. The Campaign moderator has to decide on the plastic dome with base’s dimensions and everyone has to build inside it according to the dimensions (no exceptions!). The dome has to be closed on the base to call the vignette complete. Nothing can stick out of the dome and the dome cannot be punctured. Tiny railroad buildings and figures welcome.

X-planes sounds like a good one.
Recently bought the Dora Wings Fairey Delta so I need a reason to build it.

I like these, but honestly I think each may be a little too specialized. Perhaps a diorama campaign though would garner some interest. I would do that.

Sounds good, thanks.

How about something from the commonwealths? I’m not really knowledgeable about the independence of the commonwealths, but the Balfour declaration (of 1926) was 100 years ago next year and I think that was significant? I guess this would be for forces of Australia, NZ, Canada, and S. Africa?

Aren’t the most obvious ones Spanish civil war 90 and USA 350?

Next year will be the 60th anniversary of the airing of Star Trek (not counting the pilot the year before), would there be any interest in a Star Trek 60 campaign?

Keep it simple, any Star Trek ship, vehicle, figure or replica prop. Any series or movie.

You know I have yet to build anything from the Spanish Civil War. Probably have something in the stash that would work (fairly sure I have a Matchbox He70).
