Congrats Andrzej, but you're right, you won't have much time for your hobby (not my own experince yet )
I understand that new campaign is a good reason to step in to your favourite LHS, even if you already have suitable kit at home, but belive me it's better for you not to tell your about your all new kits.

:D it's not so easy - it's hard to find any answer to "Did I seen this box in here before" question...
Anyway - either my child will be boy or girl I'm going to give all what it will take to make him/her a great model maker / musician
I'll sure post the pictures around - it will be the best live-scale model I've ever made

Well... last three times she used a dagger, erlier it was a gun... now I'm kit making zombie... undead enamel-thinner-breathing abomination .
Must... make... model...

It's not so bad now but my modelling happy years will end at the begining of May - I'll have little soldier (boy or a girl, I don't know yet) at home so I'll have to be responsible father . Loud guitar playing will also have to stop, at least for a while .

Andrzej


congradulation(sp?) the trick is you have to get the little soldiers involved thats what i did with my two boys . plus you get to buy more kits.

Allan,
It will take some time to reach the age when kid will be able to build the model (without swallowing the pieces or building a plastic something glued to a table (or floor, or walls, or hands/head/hair/anything ).
Also I don't know the gender yet - I don't think my wife would appreciate daughter’s hobby that would involve machine guns and tanks .

I have signed up. Does the HVSS/easy eight suspension count as M4 chassis meaning that the M51 would be applicable for this campaign?

Its going to be a good campaign.

I'm enlisted!

That Academy M51 Super Sherman almost started pouting when I told it that it would have to wait until April....

Seriously, though, that's my build for this one: Academy M51, but I need to make up my mind whether or not I do early or later model. Plenty of time to figure it out, though!

I am enlisted in this one. I don't know which one of my Shermans I will do.

I was thinking about proposing a campaign along this line myself (March of the Shermans). But I am swamped, so I am happy to see someone else do it. I designed a ribbon in case you are interested.

I would like to depict a Sherman from the 191st Tank Battalion, Liberators of Auschwitz.

Just in case any of you are wondering, Their motto was "Treat 'em Rough"

My Fathers unit.

I'll actually have some more time by April so I'm in. I've only built a couple shermans and havent been 100% happy with them so I feel the need to vindicate myself with another one. May be time for a Calliope

Marcin,
What would you say about this one as a ribbon (it's just a proposal - I've seen your idea in the WhiteWashed campaign forum and I think that it's great - that with Sherman profile).



It's portrait of general William Tecumseh Sherman with American flag as a background (Shermans was used by many armies but their origin is out of discussion )

If you like it - great, if you don't - also great: I'm just killing time at work
Maybe we could use this theme (of gen. Sherman and the flag) for a campaign banner.

Oh, well...I guess I'm in. Gee whiz, guys! Seriously, I think I have a Jumbo project I could pick back up and complete. It might be suitable for the Borders of the Fatherland Campaign, too. Best wishes to all participants and thanks for setting this up. Dave

Carl, kinda but dayuuum, that is kool!

And, back on topic, I may well consider this one too.....I have the Tamiya M4A3 105mm, replacement barrel, PE, and here in three or so weeks, the "blow it outta da water" Formations package....guess a little bit of the Tamy kit will actually be seen....

Looks great, Andrzej. Maybe you could create a bigger version of this ribbon, so it could also serve as a banner for the campaign?
