Around two months or so ago,I suggested a half track group build In keeping with Gun Trucks official docket thread in General Modeling,I am posting this question to see if y'all are still interested As far as starting date I'm thinking after the Barbarossa build Like around the end of September
Also,mikeli125 made a suggestion of a turncoat group build That's where you show a weapon being used against the former owners I am interested in that as well For some reason that topic got off thread and looks like it was turned into a Twilight 2000 build
Now I didn't say that to start a flame war It just looks like that to me I may have read it wrong

I'm still interested in modeling half-tracks GZ. Anyone else?
I have a list of what has been mentioned previously. I haven't posted them into the Campaign Docket yet because of a lack of particulars on them. The five Campaign ideas I am aware of at the moment are in the Campaign Docket...

What scale, era, nationality?

Chuck,I think it'll be anything goes pretty much I was thinking any nation and any era That way it'll be a lot more choices I haven't taken part of any group builds before so I'm not sure what kind of rules there are When it gets closer we can all agrre on the rules etc

I would love to join in on this build. Hopefully time and work will afford me the opportunity to actually complete the project within the alloted time frame.
I have the M3 GMC TD conversion just begging me to get it started.

I've got a M16 minus the quad .50 parts if anybody wants it for a conversion base. Got my eyes on building one of strange Turkish M113 ADA rigs.

I'll add the new participants interested in the Campaign - and create an individual post now that this idea has more than enough interest on it's way to becoming official.

Just a nudge...
Since this Campaign idea has gotten very good response, I created it's own posting thread on the way to becoming official. There is some missing information, however.
It needs a Campaign Leader.
It needs a set time period - specifically Start and Stop Date.
Rules?
Categories?
Awards?
Any other specifics to help define what it is the participants should follow in building their entries.

Yeah, I'll have a go, too. Doing the M3 Quad 50 for the CWCO 'Nam style. Maybe I'll just start building nothing but halftracks...
