My grandmother was in Belgium, and can still remember the Stukas flying overhead and some of them breaking off to bomb her town's railroad. I'd really love to make a Belgian tank...but they are hard to find, and REALLY expensive!!

So.....instead, this might be a great excuse for me to finally build a diorama of a Panzer I and Panzer II of the 2nd Panzer Div. moving into Belgium on May 10th. I've already had the kits and PE collected, so I'll move them closer to the front of the closet!

To make banners I spend a few hours looking for art work. Thats the hardest part. I then use a program called PhotoImpact, we bought it way back in '97, and it still works great.

We should update to Photoshop, but I like this one.

I had problems with ym ribbons as well. If I recall there is a glitch and the ribbon needs to have its extension in caps, (example 123.GIF)

I had to ask the campaigns admin to fix it for me.

Hi all, count me in, if that's ok with you guys. This sounds like it should be fun, and who can pass up that banner! Don't know what I'll build yet, my Pz 1 has already been started so that's out. I'll let you know as soon as I find something, or if anybody has any suggestions

Thanks for the welcome, Bruce. And you know what? The Char B bis is perfect, been wanting to do one and have been putting off picking one up, this will be the perfect excuse to get it

Hi Bruce, thanks, I'll look up that review, and I know Ron Goins (biffa) built a beautiful one, not sure if the review is one in the same. Will check out whatever I can. And a build log is IMO a big part of these campaigns, to learn and get feedback, so will definately do one. I'll try not to bore you guys! Looking forward to starting

I've enlisted.

I figure I'll either pull out my Bronco H39 Hotchkiss kit or my AFV Club LeFH 18 105mm Howitzer.

Then again, I do have a Dragon Panzer IVD that needs building too.

Hmm...

I just noticed I hadn't offically signed up yet. I guess I should do so since I had originally said I would. Any way, I think I will build the following by Cyber Hobby Pz. Kpfw.II Panzer II Ausf F.

hello Matt,
the research i did shows the Sturmgeschultz 3 aust B was made in 1940-41.i did not find any in Greece,but they could have been there.
i will say yes to a StuG 3 aust B in this campaign.
plaese relay to commanche1.
cheers,
Bruce
edit: further research shows some used in Greece in 1941.remember that they were using the StuG 3 only,the StuG 4 is out of the timeline.
