Half Track Group Build (March 1 to December 31 2005)

It began as a joke, but since there seems to be some actual interest, is anyone up for an actual Half Track Group Build? Given the diversity of kit subjects, from APCs to self-propelled artillery to cargo trucks, there’s a lot of options to choose from.

[EDIT]I guess that’s a yes… [:D]

Guidelines

The Build will begin on March 1 and end on December 31.
There is no cut-off date to join the build. Jump in any time!
The subject must be a half track, any scale, any era.
Subject must have been a real vehicle. Vehicles that only existed as prototypes or mock-ups are fine, but Space Ork Wartrakks aren’t. [;)]
You can build more than one subject if you’re beyond insane so inclined.
No builds from other Group Builds.

I’m a sucker for a group build… nice long date so I’d be in…

You’re evil. [}:)] As much as I’d love to, I’m going to pass, which is a pity considering all the new kits out there.

YES
I have reserved a dragon Ausf.D 3in1 at the LHS, i will be doing one of those, maybe the /9 with the IR gear…

I would love to, but i just started my new dragon half track today and i dont feel like postponing. But ill certainly be watching, good luck.

Sounds good to me. Now all I have to do is get that new Geramn Flamethrower Half-track that Dragon (?) is coming out with without my parents figuring out I’m getting another model. ( By the way, would anyone be interested in a few airplane models.?I have to clean out the stash before my parents find the new ones)

I’ll be in with a dml 3 in 1 ausf c maybe 251/10? 0r /7, or I’ll do Italeri’s demag with flak 30 and trailer.

I’m in, let’s do it. I have to decide on a kit though. Keep me posted.

Ryan

dragons flame thrower halftrack is already out.

I’m in but won’t be able to start for a while (late summer at least). I have the Dragon 251/C 3in1, so I’m set for a kit. Just have to decide which version.

I guess that’s a yes! [:)] having proposed it, I guess I’m more or less going to be the host. I’ve never run a group build before, so if I do something dumb, be sure to tell me.

How is this for the rules?

Maybe this should be a joint GB…[(-D]

M.

Not that it’s a contest but so far we have 4 to 1 against the lone allied M3A1. Please add me to the allied side with a 1/72 Hasegawa M4A1 APC.

Can’t resist joining Group Builds [banghead]

Sounds like a great idea to me. I have several half tracks sitting in my stash and I think I could be ready to build one. I’m in two other builds but I don’t mind having a third project going. Just not sure which kit to build. Group badge?

I may join in a couple of weeks, never been a part of a group build but it sounds cool, I have several half tracks in my stash to choose from, I will think about it.

remember for the new dragon 3in1’s you can make an unknown vehicle-such as the elusive pak/engineer vehicle-but i am doing that one right now…so…[^]
just remember they are extremely hard to pick which one you want to build.

I’m in. I’ll be building Tamiya’s 251/1 Ausf. D.

MarianLH-

Ok, put me down for a build on an AFV Club 1/35 SdKfz 251 Ausf D halftrack with PaK 40

Do we have a badge for the group build yet?

Ryan

Any chance we can get this thread made into a sticky so it stays at the top of the forum?

Ryan

Put me down for the 1/35 Dragon Sd.Kfz. 251 Ausf. D “3 in 1”. I’ll be building the 251/9 variant with the 75mm gun. [:D]

another group build… drooooooooooooooool [:p]
