erm, cant enlist for some reason
Hmm. I was able to enlist and un-enlist (Mac OS X, Safari). What system and browser are you using? Has anything about your system changed since the last time you enlisted in a campaign?
Exactly what happens? Does the Enlist button show up? Does it do anything when you click on it?

Hello Gary,
"erm, cant enlist for some reason"
Same here, too.
There is no enlist button at all.
I just have tried other current campaigns and everything's fine.

Hello,
I think I have found the reason.
In my case it was my fault.
When I have followed the campaign link in this thread I was being automatically logged out.
So I have not watched out carefully enough.
Sorry for the trouble, everything's working fine - both to enlist and to unenlist...

Hi Alan !
It's great to have you on board. I'm looking forward to some of your excellent crew figs as well
Yes 12 months should see a few of us finish this one !!

Paul,
Just saw this and enlisted! (The previous one was where I started with Armorama...) My dance card is pretty full for '10, but that still leaves plenty of time to knock out a few Shermans by July'11. Should be lots of fun!

Hi Paul,
I have lots to build and I shall have to re-learn all things Sherman.
A Sherman AVR Mk I and either a Firefly or Mk V with an engine will start me off. If I can get to it the M32B1 which I think is the Sherman AVR Mk III project I have had sitting for several years would be good to get underway. If it's running for a year then another Mk II DV and a DV MK III would be good, plus there is always Black Sod to add to consider.
I've been holding off on the Dragon M4 waiting to see if Tasca bring one along. I'l like a more correct version than the Tamiya kit..
There are lots of great kits around to choose from. Looking forwrad to it and the Resicast Sherman Interiors look very promising.

I'd probably be game. (depends on how busy school will be). I'll probably do the Dragon Firefly... or maybe something else.

I'm signed up too. I already have six Sherman kits in my stash, but I'm buying another one for this campaign. I'll be trying out my first 1/72 kit.
Looking forward to July!

Well, I've been examing the armour stash lately, pondering what to build later in the year when my build schedule is free of ships and planes....looks like you've helped me make up my mind.
Got a couple or 3 DML Shermans in the stash

I signed up to give it a go. It will be my first campaign. I have a Dragon M4A1 DV and M4 Normandy on the shelf right now. I will probably go for the M4A1 DV for this one. I look forward to learning alot from the oher participants.

Paul, Thanks for the warm welcome. I am now on my third model after being away for several years. I am building a Dragon StuG III G and it's going pretty well. My last one was a Tamiya M5A1 Stuart that I added PE and resin parts to that I plan to practice my weathering on. I am new to many of the components that are common today. I had never used PE, resin parts and now I get to try pigments. I am loving every minute of it and this campaign will help me quite alot.
Regards

Albert we have a nice long Campaign here.... so...... you can build both of the Shermies you mentioned above.
Maybe try some of your newly learned techniques on the first and them apply them and try some brand new ones, and lessons learnt on the second
Cheers

Hi All
I've updated the Campiagn page rules to say that all enlisted must post at least one progress photo as well as the finished model pic to successfully complete the Campaign.
Please ensure you do...
Our Campaign will follow the sites suggested Campaign rules..
Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul. Any objections to a fellow Victorian and refugee from Aeroscale joining the party here. I've never built a tank, but this looks like the perfect opportunity to give it a crack !!

Hey Paul, Bombers fan here, red and black all the way !!
I've always been fascinated by the T34 Calliope, so I might try and track one down. Any advice would be very welcome.
