Is the start time 1 Feb or 14 Feb? Both dates are listed in the Campaign section. Hope it's the first. I will still wish Bro a happy birthday on the 14th.

It's the 14th, the date on the form was a typo. Thanks Animal.

Hi guys,

Just signed up on this here campaign. Since I'm a Braille scaler, I'll try to build either an early 1/72 M1 model or the Revell M1A1. Anyway, an advance "Happy Birthday" to you BroAbrams!!

I'm definitely OUT of this campaign. No airbrush, no time, no funding. Busy busy busy. Decided to spend my airbrush fund for a dual-suspension mountain bike. I had wished to do an M1A2 in 1/72 with scratchbuilt mineplow for the campaign. I also wished to finish my own 1/35 KVT (practically 85% done) but not for this campaign - hehehe wanted to beat turrettoad hehehe - but reality states otherwise.

Have fun and eager to see the builds.

Man GIB - I really hate that you are dropping out . It was going to be fun to go head to head with you on the KVT .

Question:

5. The model itself must include the name, in full or in part, of at least one other participant in the "OAID" campaign. This can include full name, screen name, or nickname.

Can anyone clear this out for me? What does OAID means? I wanna join the campaign. I have here two Trumpeter M1A1HA and the other is with a mineplow. Can I just build it OOB?

SR:

a) Rule 5 means that your build must have a name of one campaign member other than yours on it, e.g. the name "Cardinal" at the bore evacuator, or "HastyP" on the loader's helmet. The name can either be the campaign member's screen name, his real name, or his nickname.

b) OAID - Operation Abrams I. D.

Turrettoad: Hehe looking forward to your KVT. It was told to me there are two "kinds" - the old and the new one. The old one sported the usual NTC camo, with bucket on the co-ax as faux IR light, ERA blocks, and camo net on the gun. The new one sports the "Iranian F-14 Tomcat" look (i.e. dark brown and khaki brown paint scheme), without ERA nor bucket nor camo net. Both versions have empty fuel drums welded on make-shit racks at the rear of the Abrams. They used straight M1A1s, not M1IPs. Mine has the "F-14 Tomcat" scheme, but I 'deviated' by adding a camo net and bucket. The problem with my KVT is that the MILES belts is still missing. Superglue used to hold one of the cables also messed up the paint job on a small but noticeable part of the KVT.

EDIT:

Here's a pic of the KVT -

I just signed in....
Did I miss the part that I had to sign in again?!
Oh well... it's done (within time) and I'm ready to Shock and Awe...

What's that you say GIB!?!........dropping out? Geeeeez, and all because you need to spend time studying for your CAREER, or you're not indepedently wealthy, or you don't have a STATE-of-the Art airbrush???
Tsk,...tsk,...tsk....you need to get your priorities straight! The heck with studying for a career, any temporary labour office can supply you with one of those (or you can just watch midday television), and money?...who needs money when armed robbery is so much simpler, and instantaneously gratifying. And, finally, an airbrush?......that one's easy, most paint manufacturer's produce their paint line in what is called 'rattle cans', and all the experts swear by them!
SO.....no excuse's. Let's recap. You just need to sit on your duff all day watching reruns of the 'Jerry Springer Show', commit a felony by robbing someone of their hard-earned cash, and then go out and buy a complete set of 'rattle cans', and listen to the 'experts'..........yep, that 's about it in a nutshell!

...geeeeeez, just re-read thru all that rubbish. Guess I must be wearing my 'silly hat' today. My apologies.....:-)

Tread: ROTLOL! Until I get my software fixed (GIB 2.0), then studying will be a priority hehehehe

Is it the 14th yet????? I am really ready for this one. #:-)

I am still considering this campaign. I usually don't build modern but I don't want to have to wait a whole year for the next armor campaign. Plus I have an idea that I think will be kinda cool.

I would assume that if I select a OAID participant that I will not suffer penalty should that person drop out without notification at the end of the campaign.

The poenalty for not completeing a campaign is a general court marshall and summary lashes with a wet noodle. :-) No there isn't any form of penalty. hehe

Rob

Never built an M-1 before, now got every kit made.......
think I need "models anonymous"

Ok, I'll give it a shot! I like the Feb.-June time frame as well.

Sounds like fun!

I would like to give this one a try. It will be my first campaign. Should I pack anything extra??

Yeah,
I can't wait on this end as well, I'm preped and ready to start casting resin APU's and junction boxes and grenade launchers just to name a few items.

Tanks Out

Two days till go!!! All hats need to be thrown in the ring by saturday! Is everyone ready?

Rob

I have been ready.....TIME TO GO!!!!!!!!!!

What's the old saying?......"If you're waiting on me, you're wasting time! "

LET'S Goooooooo!

Tread.
