Any bombardment weapon. This includes ancient weapons like Catapults, Trebuchets, Ballista’s; Napoleonic and Civil War cannons; ship board weapons like 24lb naval guns; ground or ship mounted mortars; and rail mounted guns and mortars. Prime movers can be added but aren’t necessary.
All rocket, missile and gun / mortar artillery i.e. This would include items such as the Sherman T34 Calliope.
Any scale, any era, real or fantasy.
AM and PE good, scratch build great, any material (paper, plastic, resin, wood).
Crossovers are fine.
If you aren’t sure ask.
Please post WIP pics.
Have fun
Consider also posting your progress pics in the appropriate other forum, armor, ships, etc… so more folks can see what you are doing.
Thank you Waynec and CodyJ for helping make this possible.

Steve: Love the idea but I signed on with so many GBs last year I was hoping to take it easy this one. If you need one more entry to push you over the edge I’ll see what I can work in though!
Given the time frame, I would probably get in on this. Though I would not commit my entry until later in the year once I have really cut down how many GB’s I am in.
I don’t have many artillery gun kits, in fact I have one. But I do have a few of WW2 German rocket launchers. Although this might encourage me to get that Hummel I have been putting off for ages.
The build would last a year from April to April, so you would have plenty of time to jump in if you change you’re mind.
I,m really hoping you would be interested in my Boeing Group build in June though.
Hmmm, I looked around and oddly I don’t even have anything from Boeing except a P-26 Peashooter (which I’m scared of the crazy paint scheme) and a B-17 (which I’ve already started on).
I do have an Douglas A-1 Skyraider and a North American B-25 and several P-51s- both Douglas and North American ended up bought out by Boeing so I guess it sorta makes them Boeing aircraft? You’d have to make the call here!
Just artillery. And not self propelled. Towed guns w prime movers if you want, mortars, rocket launchers, missiles, ship board mortars, catapults, railway guns/mortas. My “Thor” wouldn’t qualify because it’s self propelled.
Bish,
I would be horned for you to join when you feel you have the time.
Gamera,
Yes the Boeing build will have a VERY wide angle. Anything and I mean ANYTHING Boeing. Which includes Boeing and Boeing owned or partnered companies. McDonnell Douglas, Bell, North American, air, space, radar. any era, from the Model 1 to today.
You know those Boeing commercials you see on TV (the telly)? Well let your imagination run.
And the P-26 ain’t so hard. I just finished one.
Ok! Yeah, I think Boeing owns about half or more of the US aviation industry now! This summer seems awhile away but I should be able to jump in with something.
