if ive missed anyone let me know, ive left off some of the controversial subject choices, but please express your opinions in the other thread.

please try to cover as many vehicles as possible, and avoid building the same as someone else.

obviously with the more limited choice of kits available this is sometimes difficult, but if you do want to build something that is already listed above, please choose a different version, or nationality for your model.

any scale is fine, as are dioramas, as long as its british/commonwealth.

build OOB or superdetailed, its totally up to you

cheers

If it's not too late, I'd like to join the campaign with an old Tamiya Matilda II kit that's been calling to me from the kit stash. I've had this kit for years and have put off building it. Perhaps this campaign would give me an adequate kick in the pants.

If I get really motivated (and can find adequate references) I might try to do it as a Matilda Frog.

I will build a Canadian M3 "Stuart" Light Tank if this is OK. Any objections let me know and I will change.

Greatbrit - Seeing as you agreed on it a Czech Cromwell it is then. Just got to decide on the scale now . . . and will also need to check up on referecnes

I'm tempted to try the DML Valentine but those individual link tracks have me worried. Nobody has mentioned a Quad and 25 pounder so I think I'll give that a go.

My 1/76 scale Matchbox Churchill AVRE wasn't where I thought it would be so I may have to go to plan B. If so, it will be the 1/32 scale Airfix Crusader Mk III.

Just to verify, I'm in with the SAS jeep.
I've just started it the other night

great! i look forward to seeing some pics,

are you doing a desert machine, or NW europe?

i primed my staghound yesterday, ill try to post some pics over christmas.

has anyone else started yet?

cheers

joe

Joe,
I'm doing a desert jeep using the conversion set from Legend. Plus 2 SAS figures from Warriors (if they turn out alright, that is ).
This will be my first piece of armor in over 2 years. This build was just the thing to complete my motivation!
Thanks for the push ,
Craig

sounds good,

im glad there was so much interest in this GB,

once its well on its way i was thinking of sending some details to some of the maunufacturers, to show them there is a market for british/commonweath models.

considering the vast number of interesting and varied vehicles we have used over the years, its bloody criminal that so many are overlooked,

all we are getting is re-releases, new kits of vehicles already done to death by other manufacturers, and kits of the various late war stupid designs the germans were churning out,

it wouldnt surprise me if sooner or later DML release a series of 1946 'super tanks' based on some german tank designers daydreams once had whilst sitting in a bunker!

thats how silly its getting

cheers

I'm in guys..... my Market Garden just aint over after the RMG Campaign..... please put me on that list.

greta, welcome aboad eagle,

do you have anything in mind for this build?
cheers

joe

What about a brencarrier..... that would fit into my extended Market Garden ideas perfectly....

You guys can be proud of yourself...... made me gonne build some sort of armor..... Never thought that that would be on the menu for the new year....

I ran across my old Matchbox Comet and started putting it together while working on my Dragon Elefant and PIOmodels Bergepanther. There is not a lot to the little kit, but it's getting close enough to spray "Bronze Green" on the hull and turret. Got to love those little multi-colored (coloured?) Matchbox kits.

I've already posted pics of the start of mine and I'm glad I got a fair time to finish it in.

thanks Roo

I will stick to the AVGP Husky and will start right away.

Hi Joe/Great Brit...

If possible, I'd like to join this one.. I'll build the Old DML Firefly Vc...

Thanks!

Charlie

Ok, I'll do a Cromwell ARV.
But if someone wants to do it, let me know before end of Jan, I can change to another subject.

im please to announce that sabot is the first to finish a model for this build,

check out this 1/76 matchbox comet here,

cheers

joe

Well done Sabot

I'll probably be the last to finish

great mike,

ill add you to the list,

cheers

joe

Hi I'm thinking of building a Bishop SPG from a Scala kit i got cheap on eBay. I am a member of Armorama UK but seem to be unable to get onto the site since deleting my cookies. It keeps telling me to register.

Ordering my Stuart today. Can't wait till it arrives. I may have to add a figure or two.

Cheers
