Tank Barrel and plane prop build

ok as many of you know a build was suggested and kinda sorta got started. Jeeves is frustrated and wants to quit the build and Awasoda is MIA so I have taken it on myself to get this organized til Jeeves ans Awasoda get it together.
To support them here are the some rules and guides set up for you.

Start date August 15 2004
Ending date Feb. 3rd 2004

Rules: any plane or tank of any era, built anyway you like as in PE, oob or scratch if you dare!! Pics must be posted of your build, if you have probs with that contact me right away so I can help ya out. Lets have fun with this, it shouldnt be a drag.

Jeff, I’m confused (Alright more confused than normal), is this the Backwards Build?

If so put me down for a 1/72 Cromwell, and probably a StugIII.

If not, still put me down for the above.

Karl

It is and I am taking it over til Jeeves and Awasoda get back into it.

As soon as I finish my two planes for the prototypes build, I’m in with a 1/35 Crusader tank (actually, being my usual self I already started on that one!). Unfortunately you won’t be able to help me with the picture posting I’m afraid, because I don’t have a digital camera. I’ll take pictures if I can borrow one again.

Krax, I’ll just work a little telepathetic-photographic magic and post some photos for you… [;)]

Wait a minute, it’s not me who’s the psycho psychic in the family, it’s 'ole Auntie Wacko… [:p]

Anyhoo, so this is, indeed, the GB where the flyboys build targets tanks (and other targets) and the trackheads build things with wings? If so, I’ll build one of my CMK Wehrmacht Love-Bugs…

Fade to Black…

ok jeff i will stick it out. i will wait until the 15th and then i will continue with the king tiger.

Jeff,
Funny, I was wondering what happened to this GB. I just picked up a Tamiya M-41 (my first tank in over 25 yrs of building models). So put me down for it.
Scott

A Dodge to Dodge will be my theme. Italeri’s 4x dodge with 37mm anti tank gun.
The truck that never was. Do wheeled vehicles comply?

If not, then tamiya’s M-36 Jackson.

Heh great to cya all going now. On the 15th I will edit my my first post and put you all down and what you are building. I decided on the 15th because many of us went ahead and started other stuff so I am given ya all a chance to get some stuff done on that

Hey, Guys! I was supposed to be building an Academy Tiger but it had SERIOUS fit problems!

Instead I think I’d like to do a 1/72nd armor kit if this is okay. Maybe some version of the Shermie, or Panther… But count me in! [:D]

Put me down for Dragon’s M1A1.

I’m tempted to join this. The prob is, I’m a novice airplane builder! Would I qualify?! [;)] If I did what would I have to have by the 15th? The kit?

In the meantime, I’ll look into it a bit more…

Darren

Anyone can join. If you are a plane builder get yourself a tank kit. Go to the tanhk forums and ask around for advice on which kit.

Okay, I’m officially in! I just got this from my LHS:

Ive been wondering myself what was going to happen with this build. Glad someones got the ball rolling again. Im in with an Academy 1/35 M2 Bradley (might even knock out a M1025 Humvee at the same time)
Can I also suggest that you post the list with both Armor and aircraft builds and the corresponding link to this thread in the Armors forum?
I think a big reason the one snowballed was there was no set dates and some people got impatiant. Not that we modelers ever get impatiant right? :slight_smile:

I’m resisting the urge to paint a big bullseye on the top of the turret.[:D]

ok 4 more days get ready…
so far…

Actually, I may end up doing the Afrika Korps kit… or… maybe… BOTH!

Fade to Black…

So what if i’m an aircraft AND armor modeler? Does that mean i’d have to build a boat? [(-D]

WOW…here I started my tank without even thinking, and I come to search out the Backwards GB thread, and it has dissapeared. Glad I found this one, because it seems I have been left off of the list.

Tamiya 1/35 Panther Type G Early w/ PE Zimmerit.

For the record I was waiting till after the NATs to get started on this puppy, but have already put on a good portion of the Zimmerit already. I will surely have plenty of questions for the Armor boys this weekend.
