Hi guys!
Would a Land Rover qualify for this campaign? I have here a Revell kit (ex Italeri I guess) in 1/35 and would go for one used by the BFG (British Forces Germany) in the 1970's.

can we clarify the parameters for this one

'Jeeps' are still in use so how modern can we be? (you stated Vietnam but that leaves out two major mid east wars, plus the gulf wars, afghanistan, Grenada etc...)

I assume Landrovers are included as well as mechanical mules?

if you want to make this a true 'jeep' campaign make the vehicle cargo classification the defining item. (1/4 ton capacity vehicles only maybe?)

Thanks,

The campaign is focusing on the Jeep, or light personnel carrier, cargo hauler, ordnance-hauler, et al. This does not include Land Rovers, or MULEs. Keeping it limited to the smaller, more "personal" vehicles such as the ones I listed: Willys (US, or British), MUTTs, GAZ/UAZs, Type 87 VWs, Swimmwagens, or Kübelwagens keeps things more in-line with my campaign concept.

Being as there is a trucks and trailers campaign in progress right now, I wanted this to be more about the people and cargo movers used by the day to day grunts. Add some stowage, have a little fun.

As far as the dates, how about anything between 1939 (Germany invades Poland) to 1975 (end of the Viet Nam war). Beyond that, I am drawing a line--I mean, we gotta have rules, right?

I hope this clears it up, and looking forward to seeing all of the finished builds!

What Knuckles wrote as answer to an earlier question.

I don't know if it still applies though ....
/ Robin

Thanks for the clarification, Robin. So no Land Rovers allowed. Okay, than I'm out. Though it would fit in the time frame given, as the Land Rover was developed in the late 1940's. And sure has more in common with a Jeep than a VW Beetle .... Never mind.

Happy modelling!

Pretty cool V-Dub, Mike! ... That Jabo eye view (image 3) looks like the driver abandoned the scene posthaste — bugged-out! Lol!

Cheers!🍺

Enlist here for Jeeps! Campaign

Jeeps! Willys, MUTTs, GAZ/UAZs (Da, tovarich), Type 87 VWs/Schwimmwagens, or Kübelwagens (Jawohl!). How about whoever and whatever you want to tow behind, strap on to, or bolt on or in it. Focus on Civil Service, or anything military between WW2, and Viet Nam. To keep it simple, the Jeep must be the focus of the piece--e.g. not a Tiger running over a Jeep.

Static display, vignette, or a diorama. Any manufacturer, and any (and all) AM is allowed, scratchbuilding is allowed and encouraged. Figures are fine. Open to any scale 1/6 to 1/72 (sorry guys no 1:1 ).

Dates are from July 01, 2017 through March 01, 2018. Typical forum protocol: less than 25% completed upon start of the campaign, post a pic of the kit you intend to build, and at least 2 WIP shots, then post your completed pic/s in the campaign gallery.

Let's have some fun and see what you've got!

Looks great Mike. The large base gives it that desolated, abandoned look for sure. "1946" View
