Future challenge ideas/suggestions

Gunbucket scale American Civil War cavalry carbine.
There's so many varied designs with many different technologies, from percussion to rimfire cartridges, from single shot to lever action rifles, I feel like it would make for quite an interesting challenge and display of creativity !

Fast Attack Craft... In FD scale.

Hi all

Had a neat idea for a cold war MBT while drawing my amphibious assault ship entry...

so what about a soldierbucket or carbucket scale Cold War MBT challenge?

Cheers

Probably hard to put into practice idea, specially for the judging criteria at the end of it, but a pioneers of flight challenge could make for an interesting one.
"It's 1900, the public is loving these gentlemen falling with grace (and often to their death) from various heights behind the commands of their exuberant creations, so why wouldn't you get a share of the fame too (in FD or charscale for the madmen out there) ?"

I will never not support anything resembling this,+1

As for the Pioneers of Flight idea, I think it'd be great, but it should probably be expanded to any kind of pioneer, including supersonic test aircraft and stuff.

@Charguizard
Perhaps it's not my problem to raise concerns about challenges and everybody would rather prefer me to just STFU about them, but I'd just like to mention that it has been already raised (in the Modern Auxiliary Challenge, for example), that some challenges are becoming too vague in terms of design requirements and entries are sometimes hard to really compare. Direct comparison of drawings of, say (equivalent of) Wright Flyer, X-15 and X-51 is IMHO impossible without doing some Authors injustice.


On a different note - actually I'd like to (honestly and sarcasm-free, unlike my "do some real stuff instead" suggestion from some time ago ) make a suggestion for a challenge (in which I could be really interested to take part).

"a building"

That said, I don't mean ANY building ("vague design requirements") - to avoid situation of having entries with mountain log cabins on one end and moonbases on the other - but some pre-defined type of building, be it royal/presidential palace, a gothic cathedral, international airport, office skyscraper, whatever People in Charge (or vox populi on Discord) decide (though if it were to be something like moonbase, I admit I would be no longer interested ). Scale can be SB OR FD (though for too big buildings SB would be obviously most reasonable), but not both simultaneously ("hard to compare").

A word of explanation might be useful, especially for those users that aren't here for too long: there was (still is, but practically none of the pics are still visible) a thread called "Buildingbucket" and before that "Buildings" (plus some one-off works posted separately), so the architecture isn't entirely new topic on Shipbucket.

NGL, I was anticipating a chance to get that civilian vehicle in soldierbucket scale challenge. Oh well, always another day for that to show up again.

We really need a modern battleship challange. Let pure insanity flow throught this community.

An attack helicopter challenge is a must imo
