Rockin, now all this campaign needs is a banner!

I'm not sure if I made a selection before, but I think that I'm going to go with a 1/35 Trumpy KV since I'm not going to be able to build one for the Killer KV's campaign.

How about a photo of a trash bin full of PE/resin? Or maybe a carpet full of PE?

Carpet would suggest that it was being used and fumbled. Trash can is the way to go if you're going that route.

Howdy Y'all

Here's what I'll try to build: an Academy Bf 109-E3. The Tamiya Bf 109 is for the Tamiya campaign. I might use PE & resin for the Tamiya campaign plane but the Academy kit will be strictly out of the box.



Y'all have a nice day,
Don "Lakota"

Great idea on this one !!
If I can schedule my builds on time I'll Dragon kit with goodies included, otherwise the very respectable Panzer II a/b/c from Tamyia will do !!!

By the way why not a After Market Campaign for 2012 ? (at least 2 items required)
resin - PE - tracks - decals - stowage - tow cables - figures
I'll let you guys cook this idea... meanwhile I 'll have to clear my workbench fast...

Take care Plasticholics !

Is this what you mean?


If so, I'm not sure why it wasn't showing. It is the number of people enlisted in that campaign.

I think i'll join in on this, been a while since a built OOB. Besides I think I will be due a break from the trumpy 1/16 KT soon, before I go insane.

For this i'm going to build dragons stug III G early smart kit which has been waiting to be built since January.

Hey all. Just joined this site and this is my very first campaign. Just getting back into the hobby after a 30 year break and WOW alot has changed for sure. Never even knew about PE and aftermarket stuff back then. I do love all the aftermarket goodies for sure but I want to get some OOB kits done so this seems to be the right place.

O.K. So if I have this right, as of July 1st, I need to post a picture of kit box and contents once this campaign becomes active correct??

Also, do we post progress pics here on this thread?? Thanks in advance...

And yes again. Generally you want to post your progress photos for any campaign in the campaign's official thread.

I'm in with my first Bronco kit.
The Sd.Kfz. 221 Leichter Panzerspähwagen (s.Pz.B.41) ... they have this all over the box, whatever that means -- 5 years learning German in highschool didn't help understand a boxart printed in China...

It will be this little Armoured car



See you on the 1st of July then..

Well,only one more week to go,and I am staring at the box,and handling the sprues of my DML Early Jagdpanther w/zimm just waiting to get started,it is a great kit for this campaign because it has a lot of extras in the box already.

Looking foward to a good one !!

John,



Trying to fix your photo for the campaign

EDIT: On the page with the photo, underneath there is a line that says "Linked URL" at the end of that line is a little frame next to it. Click that, and a second line appears underneath that. Copy the entire line in the box and paste it into your posts.

Should look something like this:

< img src="http://gallery.kitmaker.net/data/25891/sherman210.JPG" / >

I intentionally put spaces between at the beginning and end of the line to show what the link should look like.

EDIT 2: I'm in this as well, but with a twist. As I have a hard enough time deciding on what to build, I'm going to let you folks pick the build for me. Simple enough process:

Hit up my stash page on my blog here:
http://theplasticspastic.com/?page_id=12

Scroll down and anything not in bold or with a campaign name next to it (for campaigns not yet started) is fair game. Since this is a Kitmaker wide build, anything on my list is open. I will leave the voting open (either post here or send me a PM) until Monday, July 4th, 2011 at 6PM Central Daylight Time. I think that should be midnight over in London.

A word of caution though. Six months is not NEARLY enough time to get the Italeri 1/48 C-130J right. That thing is seriously flawed.
