Steel Cats (Sept. 2012-Aug. 2013)

Nope , i was saying i like your Amore badge . Females in this Cat g.b. badge …[^o)]…hadnt thought of that one . For me something more macho .

ok, no Hellcats…[:(]

Deafpanzer reporting for duty!!! I have been itching’ to build a Tiger… I have four in my stash and some of them have been staring at me for nearly 3 years since my return to the hobby.

I’d like to build Dragon Smart Kit #6600 Tiger I Initial if nobody has signed up with this kit…

Count me in, I’ll be going with the Cyberhobby Feb. 1944 production Tiger 1.

I don’t know. What does everyone think about changing the name? Then P-38 can get that Hellcat. Steel Cats is king of catchy. Nice job Carl.

If we went with a Catwoman, lol, then I’d have to vote for Julie Newmar.

***Note, I changed the name to Steel Cats. Is that okay? I think it’s kind of catchy. If people aren’t digging it, I’ll change it back.

Cat woman G.B. ? [:$]

Steel Cats sounds good to me. The original was Tigers and Panthers only, but i see no reason not to expand it.

I have decided to go with the CH panther w Pz IV turret as i am all ready to build that one.

Now i like that for a badge.

I LIKE it!!!

And ‘Steel Cats’ sounds pretty darn cool too! Reminds me of the old SSI wargame ‘Steel Panthers’.

[Y] Liking… and the badge is sweet to !

Hey Eric,

I’m very pleased that you have decided to start this GB in September! It will fit in perfectly with the planned completion of my current wip Firefly!

I’ve been waiting for ages to find an excuse to buy and build this and I love nothing better than building kits as part of a GB!

I’m going to build kit the Dragon Jagdtiger (kit #6493) if that’s ok [Y]

DN6493

I’ll see you at the start of the GB!

Take care,

Ben [t$t]

Nice!

I HATE cats but I LOVE the badge! Well done Carl! [B]

Fine, T-man, change the name of the sequel. I see how you’re going to be. [:P]

Andy - you don’t like cats??? We may have some issues if you get to visit this summer…[:O]

Now I’m wondering what sort of “steel cat” outfits I can coax all of my felines into. Hehehe.

Tigerman: It would be cool if the Tiger and Panther from the original badge could be added to the proposed Steel Cats badge…that would suggest a sequel while having this GB still stand on it’s own merits…thoughts???

This name change opens up a few other vehicles as well - there’s the modern Canadian “Cougar”, that funky Leopard VK prototype (Hobby Boss makes it), the IDF Puma, of course the Hellcat, the Luchs (Lynx)…there might be more!

Good point dupes. At some point the build list gets so large it will become the “Steel Tanks GB”…[:S] I think Tigerman intended to have this be like the original Big Cats and be limited to German armor. We’ll have to wait for him to chime in.

Well, I’m more a dog person myself but other than the Walker Bulldog I’m not sure it would make much of a GB [proplr]

I did open a can of worms, didn’t I? Initially I was thinking Tigers and Panthers, with the Leopard. So with all do respect to P-38 again, I’m going to shoot down the Hellcat and all other cat-named armor. [:$]

The badge is really cool. Carl if you were never a graphic designer, you might want to moonlight as one. [;)]

As for adding the other cats to the badge, I personally like the simplicity of this badge.
