Hi Guys
I've been giving this a lot of thought over the last couple of weeks and what I propose is as follows,
Start date 01/01/2005
End date 05/31/2005
Any scale
Any Era
3 categories
1: Purpose built recovery vehicles,eg Challenger CrARRV, M32,Diamond T wrecker etc etc. Field Mods will be accepted as long as they are backed up with pics and will need some scratchbuilding/structural alterations.


2:Specialist/purpose built vehicles used by engineering battalions,eg dozers,bridgelayers,avre'setc.Again Field mods will be accepted with the same proviso's as above.


3:Fictional.Basically anything along a recovery/engineering theme as long as it's based on an existing vehicle/chassis and needs structural modifications.Just bolting on a dozer blade or winch will NOT be acceptable

Any decisions made by myself will be final.
A ribbon will be awarded to those that finish and I propose to set up a poll of members to decide the winner who will get a medal.
Your thoughts/opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Pete


Ps My entry will be an Accurate Armour CrARRV .

I'd join this campaign based on the start/end date and as long as the silly rules are kept to a minimum.

Sounds good. I'll have to re-evaluate my schedule towards the end of the year when I start finishing my other dozen campaigns

Sounds good to me, Move It will be over by then and the Heavy Haulers will be more than underway.

You could count me in!

I agree with Sabot. The dates are fine withy me, keep the rules simple, and I'm in.

Count me in Probably a Cromwell ARV Question,would a FAMO halftrack count or Dragon Wagon truck minus the trailer?

I'm in. My next planned build is an M113A1 Dozer, so it fits right in.

I'm very interested in this one. Right now I'm thinking a Catagory Two, USNMCB Dozer, Grader, or High Voltage Boom Truck...

Question here! are mechanical workshop vehicles included. I refer to fitters trucks and mobile workshop trucks of WW2.

thanks
Cliff

"Question,would a FAMO halftrack count or Dragon Wagon truck minus the trailer? "

Chad, A famo with recovery gear fitted would be ok IMHO, as would the Dragon Wagon prime mover.





Cliff, they are Indeed.
Pete

put me in for a WW2 workshop truck.

QUESTION:

will a Vietnam M88 recovery vehicle do ?

costas

Costas, That's fine with me.
Pete

Sounds fine to me but... only one will get the medal?

At last the boot up the **** I needed to finish my Mercedes mobile field workshop. Is it to be just the vehicle or can you put it in a diorama as in use?

Cheers
Henk

Pete,

Per our conversations.... I'm in for a Fictional M1 based thing..... :-) :-) :-) :-)

Ralph.Everyone who finishes their project will get a ribbon,but the person who's project gets voted winner gets a medal.




Henk, If you want to a dio then go ahead. All dios will be welcome.

Verlinden has a dozer with blade kit that looks kind of cool. If this campaign goes, please count me in.

Steve

OK, I'd like to reserve a spot.

I have 4 candidates, of which only 1 will be built:
-- Diamond-T wrecker
-- M1 Dozer
-- M26 (DW tractor)
-- and what I would prefer, the T-2 (M31) TRV

The problem with the T-2 is that I have done about 3% of the work already & then put it aside for other priorities. I'd really like to force this back to the top of the heap, so if I could get some dispensation for a kinda Le Mans start, I'd appreciate it ...

If not the T-2, then I may punt, or coin-toss over the Diamond-T and the Dozer .... too early to tell ....

PS: I have to admit to having a problem with category#3, Fictional -- I will leave it to you to keep it sane & sensible .... I'd almost rather it be replaced by a Civilian equipment category.

Count me in on this one. I could use the challenge of some kind of track thingy..

Hmmmmm. Would a mine clearing veh. be acceptable? A M60 with a mine plow? Or a M1 with Rollers? If not I guess I will build a IDF M113 Fitters Veh.

Sign me up,i have a M-32B1 correct hull to do,and that would be a good time. (++)

NICE, a mine clearing / detecting vehicle. I'd like to see someone scratch a Pookie. . .

Guys
I have submitted the proposal,now we just sit back and wait. The only thing I'm having trouble with is a name for the campaign,if anyone has any idea's they would be greatly appreciated.
