I'm in!

Does it have to be an ambulance or coul it be something like a medic with a wounded soldier, or maybe a few soldiers with an injured soldier trying to patch things up?

Rob

I think this should be allowed. This way it brings all the groups togeather in one build.

Hmmm maybe one of the ship people could do a hospital ship? hmmmmmmm :-)

Fine by me Rob







Cliff, I quite agree with your comment.perhaps this could be a campaign with general appeal?


Pete

Bloody good thinkin' 'Roo (who said people from Oz can only Bar-B-Que?).

Maybe we could tempt some of the folks from the Sci-Fi side into it as well?

A Statr Trek based medical frigate?

A kit-bashed Hospital ship from the 'rag-tag' fleet of Battlestar Galactica?

A Star Wars figure in a Bacta tank?

.............just a thought.

Tread.

Depending on when y'all start this I might well be interested in joining also. There's a lot of potential out there, and as a Doc these past 25 years, I'm looking for something I can sink mt teeth into. Docs -- we Bring good medicine to really bad places, and we STILL make housecalls!

a few donut dollies thrown in for good measure......

Well for sure count me in that one !!! But as i am already involved in 4-5 Campaigns please push the time frame as far as possible. (Mid 2005 is ok for me )

Guys
I've been giving some thought to the rules on this one and I'm going to keep things simple.
Basically anything to do with the Red Cross but preferably with a Military theme, Scenes from M.A.S.H,casevac,both helo's and aircraft, Hospital Ships, Ambulances etc.
Also Dios of medics attending to wounded troops,Figures and busts of medical personnel.
Any scale and any era.Start date 06/01/05 end 09/30/05. There will be a ribbon for those who complete their project and the entry judged to be best will get a red cross for their profile.
Pete

Peter,

Sounds good to me, count me in. I'm thinking about the soft back Humvee ambulance we have down on the ramp and that MIG conversion..., maybe something WWII Pacific also.

Lol, I don't think I'll participate but I just posted in dios and figures my Airborne Med Evac and don't think I'll build another one. I will be looking forward to seeing what comes out of it though.

Cheers

Ray

Capitol suggestion and I give you two thumbs up!

As for 'Tread's thread - I've iterated the same sentiments for too long now and all I fear it has gotten me is surly attitude(s) and made more dissenters than friends. Life is too short for all that and today I'm really disappointed in some attitudes - but I'll always encourage the members here to get together and have fun with the Campaign(s).

Yes - there are too many going on...

But - what the Hell - I have too many models in progress too - and it hasn't hurt my enjoyment of the hobby...

My only cautioning words at this time echo what 'Tread pointed out - not everyone is going to be able to cross the finish line. Everyone who signs on gets out the gate with all the best intents in the world - but there's this thing called Life that often changes priorities in mid stream. No one is immune to the effects of Life.

Therefore, I always advocate the Campaign Leader have the ability to award the Medal/Ribbon on a one-on-one basis to account for such things. Jim already built this ability into the Campaign Module, and you can bestow awards after the close date.

There is no need to change the Campaign Page with start and stop dates once Jim creates it - just update the Thread for the members and administrate it from there.

I think this is a cool idea - and I'm looking forward to seeing the entries. I haven't modeled a medical vehicle in a long time too...

Gunnie

Excellent idea - count me in

Cheers

Folks
I may be getting a bit ahead of myself here,but if this campaign is going to get off the ground then we need to sort out a name for it.
So far we have two suggestions

"Forgotten Heroes" by Lestweforget
"Blood and Guts" by MRRoo

Pete

I think the name "Forgotten Heroes" sounds good, to me "Blood and Guts" sounds too similar to the Engineering campaign.

By the way, can we start early? :-) There are more than 7 months before the start of the campaign, but I just realized I have the BTR-152K, which I will be doing as an ambulance.

If not, I will probaby come up with something different, although I can't be sure right now - I am already enlisted in 4 campaigns.

hmm, this is a very interesting subject count me in..

Are suggestions still being taken for the name of this campaign? A quick one I just thought of...."Guardian Angels" or maybe "Angels on the Battlefield"....I'll try to come up with a few others...just brainstorming right now...

sound good to me Darryl.....

If this campaigns starts mid 2005, I'll join. Before that, I don't think I'll have time....

Maybe a Kubel with the dragon conversion kit will be my entry....or a dodge ambulance

hmm campaign name......maybe just "Medic!" ?

Grt

Yeah...I like that one Martin...but I'm not the one deciding...

Guys.
Personally I favour either "Forgotten Heroes" or "Angels of Mercy" for this campaign, but I'm hanging fire til I see what else appears.
Pete

Howdy fellas,

I'm sticking with my original suggestion of " MEDIC!!"


Tread.

I have to agree with Tread on this one. Simple and to the point!

i've got my helicopter on order. count me in.

Geez Babycakes has become a model building monster!!!

Tread has a gift for naming campaigns! My vote is for "Medic!" also...

I'm with Tread on this one. I was one for 23 years and I don't remember any of us being Angels.
To grease our ego's, we liked it when the guys called us Doc. But when someone was "in deep S***" MEDIC! about said it all.
