I think there are only 7 who have said they are in. Maybe I counted wrong.

This sounds interesting id like to join in as ive never built anything smaller than 1/ 76 before.

Is there a rough limit to how small you can go though as i've found various 1/700 vehicles which would be totally miniscule?

Looks like we now have 10 people for the campaign so is it officially going ahead? If so when will the start be roughly?

I think im going to stick to 1/144 as it seems to have the most variety. I decided against 1/700 which has mainly carrier planes and an odd mix of tanks so a scene might be difficult to explain.

Im also thinking of making a little diorama of Kursk with a stuka diving upon a russian tank with another burnt out tank nearby.

I would like to join. Got some stuff I need to finish before the eyesight goes. I like the idea of 1/87 or smaller but I can play by the rules of the orginal proposal.
Y'all take care,
Don, "Lakota"

Dan reminded me of this proposed campaign and I thought some of you may be interested in a fun WIP project I've been working on for a few months off-and-on: https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/196091#1642377

Hopefully it might inspire some more people to join?

The proposal is sitting in the queue. Right now the campaign is set to run from October 1, 2013 to April 1, 2013 but that is not set in stone.

I've got a few 1/144 kits- a Tiger, a Panther, a panzer II and what is either a hummel or a nashorn, not sure which. I'll be building the Tiger for sure, and maybe a couple others.

Hey again guys,
Just thought id bring this thread back to the top of the pile as its only 2 days until the start date.

Cant wait to see some of these ideas in action!

Tommytanker wow can't wait to see how small a jeep is in these micro scales!
Doesn't this campaign need a ribbon still by the way?

Oh, well, I guess I cannot participate.

"- Kits can not be started before the start date."

All three of my little 1/144 scale Tigers are already started.

But, I'll watch how everybody's builds go.

Do I understand rightly that this campaign is open to models other than armor? I have some 1:350 scale airplanes I could build.
