Pearl Harbor 2014.....Thank You

Modeling Subjects Group Builds
1

beginning july 26, the day of the us embargo on war material to japan, and ending on dec 7 at 7:55 a.m. , the time of the beginning of the attack. (you may finish later in the day for sure but dec 7 is the end date.)

-all subjects are game. military or civillian.

-all ships in the harbor, all ships in the japanese combined force, are game.

-the uss enterprise is game, she docked dec 8 and some of her aircraft landed durring and after the attack.

-subjects include naval, air, army (armor, arty, and soft skinned), civilian, marine, and coast guard.

-all subjects must have been on oahu at the time of the attack. the only exception is uss enterprise but she must appear as she did that fateful day.

-i reserve the option to close entries when time will not allow the completion of the build.

these can and most likely will be reviewed and changed around.

my only request is that all entries are completed and not left in the unfinished shelf queen status. the spirit of this build is the most important factor.

for those who died

for those who survived

you will never be forgotten.

Hey Joe,

You know, I’m involved in 12 GB’s now, but this one really popped out to me. What subjects are you going to have in the GB? Just might have to do this GB.

eagle although i will be posting the particulars soon the main idea is anything in hawaii dec 7 1941. all military and civillian, all subjects, everything. i also include all ships of the japanese first combined fleet and the uss enterprise. the big part is whatever you choose has to be from that day in hawaii.

Seeing how you seem to run this Pearl Harbor themed GB every year, why not just make it a long term running GB with no end date? Personally I would love to join this, but like Eagle, my plate is full for pretty much the rest of this year.

eagle, stick, thought about this long and hard. i would love every one of my group build proposals to be the next hugely successful group build. sometimes for reasons as you state, they just dont achieve flight. i can appreciate the full slate you have, i have been kinda following some of the proposals and builds myself. mine may be poor timing as far as the number that are out there. i do really appreciate your interest as that is one of the main goals for me each year. to gather interest and provoke thought to remember the attack. if this one flies or dies so be it. it would not be the first time i had a group build idea that i turned out to be the group.

however for me it is important to have that end date. it is more to remember the reason for the build. i will keep this alive and see where it goes.

I understand completely. It is such a special date in American history and deserves such commemoration.

10

I’m in. Perhaps this will be the year I actually finish something for this build.

11

I’m interested again Joe, but not too sure if I can commit just yet. In fact, I’ve already bought a kit in anticipation of this GB.

Cheers

I’d be in if you are allowing crossovers. I have a A6M2 Zero I’ll be doing in Pearl Harbor markings for the Japanese GB that’s going on.

13

I would love to join in on this GB Joe. I look forward to more details.

14

thank you all for the interest.

i havent forgotten about this, just trying to focus a bit to complete my current project in time to begin this. i will have the proper information up soon and will begin a list for entries.

joe

15

oh…forgot…

crossovers are more than welcome. as long as they fall in the timeline and the subject i have no issue and welcome them.

joe
