I have seen there are some group builds for WWII subjects.

Are there any for modern armor? Would anyone be interested in doing one?

I would propose Mid-East armor (maybe from a certain time period) as that would allow for many types of vehicles.

Anyone into this, or is it a dumb idea?

Nope - not a dumb idea at all. I'm always interested in a modern armor group build. I don't know how the current HMMWV group build is faring, but that's no reason not to have another one.

For me, "modern" means everything post-WW II There's a lot of periods and conflicts that one could use for a theme...

Good idea, I would try to narrow the focus to a specific conflict/time period. Like 7 Day War, Yom Kippur, etc.

There was an Abrams group build as well as the HMMWV build Gunnie mentions.

six day war, seven days creation Always make shorter wars and take more time to create

Well, if there's interest, how about a vote on one of the Arab/Israel conflicts?

I would like to do my M50 or M51, so that's my bias!

Maybe we can get some responses.

Steve

PS - Josh seems to be quite an expert, so this would be a big help with this choice.

OK, so is there interest or should I just let the idea pass?

Can we have a vote or something?

I didn't know the IDF M60 Magach Group Build was planned, but, I'm interested in joining in and learning some more about Israeli armor...
