Iam reposting this here so it does not get lost on the main AFV board. I have 5 so far so I need 5 more. I am sure there are some of you out there that has some of these setting on the shelf.

I sent in a suggestion for a new campaign of WWII experimental items. This would be open to any military vechical, cannon, missle, ect that was on the drawing board between 1939 and the end of the war approx September 1st 1945. I figure this will cover all the new paper panzer that are coming out. IS there any intrest in doing this? It would be open to all scales, countries, and dioramas also. Please post if you are interested. I will also open this up to any item that there was less then 12 made of. I figure if you only made 12 then it was still really experimental. THis would also inclued prototypes as well.

Well, this one sounds good. Especially the rule about including vehicles with a total of less than 12 produced.

I don't know why I sign up for all of these and force myself to buy kits to build, but I'll do it as well.

I think I might do that A-40 glider/tank the Soviets played with.

Well, with all of these paper panzers coming out, I can not resist the pull, so I am in, even though his is out of my main area of effort. I can not resist.

There are so many to choose from. Especially on the German side of the conflict. Dicker Max or Stuerer Emil would be two obvious choises from my stash. But I think I would go for a Maus if I can find one......

James (and Jesper), I think it's OOP, but you can still find it and the E-100 on eBay with some frequency.

Personally, I'd love to see another MAUS build!

Mike, you looking at doing a "scratch" or one of the limited production run kits? Here's another on my "seriously want list." The concept alone of that tank (not to mention it's looks) makes it an eye catcher!

Well Scott, we're up to 12 confirmed participants....any one have any ideas for the ribbon?? I think I'm going to play around with some of the Dreamweaver Suite and see what I can come up with for ideas.

And, I am confirmed for the Panzerzerstoerer Panther.

I would like to make it look more like a medal I thought of one the large german tanks. I am sure i can find a pic of one but I have no ideal how o turn it into a icon. You know any computer gods that could help? no one ever reponed to my other post for help on it.

Scott, just about all of the "awards" for successful completion of a campaign are ribbons. I think at one time, there may have been medals, but not that I’ve seen for a looooong time.

Anyhow, here’s just an idea for a ribbon including the picture of the tank you sent me. Realize of course, that the ribbon needs to be 50 x 20 pixels. Hence its small size.

Opinions?
