Proposed Name: BY THE BOOK
This campaign would require modeling a scene from a fictional book. The genre of Military Fiction spans a pretty wide range of eras, locales and subjects. (Think “Team Yankee” or “Red Storm Rising” or whatever strikes you as a good mental image to model). It would include Armor, Aircraft, Figures, Ships...Obviously the products would be dioramas.
The “hook” for this campaign would be the requirement for you to submit the SCENE prior to building! In other words you’d have to copy the passage you are modeling, post it to the Campaign Folder along with the Title/Author of the Book and THEN commence building.
To put some parameters on this idea a timeframe of 1939-2010 seems reasonable and no Sci-Fi (sorry Sci-Fi fans).
Options...A few stray thoughts or ideas that could be incorporated would be to allow movie scenes (but I’d prefer NOT TO since it takes the “interpretation” part out of the build.) Books that have been made into movies are still OK.
The purpose of this Campaign is for you modellers to USE YOUR MINDS EYE to translate the imagery in your mind, to a finished diorama.
I’m open to thoughts, comments, etc.
