Well, I'll hold off on the Finnish StuG for now but I did pull the trigger on that E. I've been wanting an earlier vehicle really bad and now I have one to go with one of these G's that I have all the AM stuff coming for the StuG Campaign.

Just which G to choose now. It's a Early Happy Birthday to ME.

Yeah, I promised myself ... THAT'S IT!!!! Besides, I was looking at another TD but the E won out. I'm good.

So, ya got any suggestions on this Large Scale Build thingy? Think of it as more of an exhibition than a challenge. I'm game but I need to know for I have limited build space and can only host about 5 builds at one time, then things start to get a little hairy as far as where to glue this and screw that.

Oh Jeff my good friend please dont worry about the time line ..hell i have more than enough on my plate right now myself so i am thinking we worry about this idea a little bit later in the year .. more closer to the end of it .. these big builds can take serious time due to the size and detail that can be thrown at it ,so yer much later

Looks like there will be some really cool builds going on here and since people are showing what they will be building, this is what I will go with
Photobucket
This kit has been in the stash for a while, it came with Echelon markings and ever since I found this picture I have been wanting to build it
Photobucket
So that is the my plan to but it on a dirty street base
If anybody has additional photos of this StuG they would be greatly appreciated

Jeff S. it looks we are going to build the same kit! I should receive mine next week. You've made an excellent choice of stug, if I may say.

Hey Jon, it's just being kicked around at the moment. Nothing concrete at the moment. Why ... are you interested? Please speak up for it may not be a 100% Large Scale Campaign, but we might round up interested members to use a large scale kit or an RTR conversion. Right now we're just talking. So I really doubt it'll be anything soon so those wanting to join or get involved let's get together and form something we can use.

I think it'll be a Campaign that no-one will forget!

Jeff S ,, looks like we might be creating a monster here with a Large Scale Campaign idea which is very cool ,,it would be the largest campaign on Armorama with the smallest amount of people
I am seriously thinking about this idea of ours ..I know one thing it would attract a heap of attention and another thing i know for sure .. it would have to be a year long ,especially for the guys that are starting a new build .
Ya i think this has to happen

Jon ,,you want in , your in dude
