In an ideal world... if you could make anything:

[David Spencer]

Just for fun, and this may have been done before.

In a modeller's Utopia, what would be your ideal subject?

I'd like to find a decent 1914 German infantryman, resplendent in feldgrau und pickelhaube. And a mounted 1914 Chasseur a Cheval. Both in 54mm.

Over to you...

 

[housecarl]

That would do me.

 

[David Spencer]

A nice idea.

"Think not now your jouney's done" ... would that be followed by "and though your ship be sturdy, no mercy has the sea"?

Large scale mounted figures of Marshals Zhukov and Rokossovsky at Victory Parade in Moscow 1945.

 

[Blind Pew]

This is a great question. Probably recreations of Horan dioramas in about 70mm.

The Utopian future is 3D printing..

When the Russian Imperial family threw a party, they didn’t do “low key”. Even with a looming global economic crisis that would mark the beginning of the end for the Russian Empire, no expense was spared. If tsarist Russia was going down, they were going out with a bang. And so, in February of 1903, on the eve of revolution, they threw the most obscenely opulent event the world had ever seen.
Held at the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg over two days, emperor Nicholas II invited 390 guests to a 17th-century themed national costume ball.
