Is this just vehicles/AFVs or are aircraft, ships etc included?




Hmm...I haven't really thought of that. I guess aircraft,and ship would be OK. Building something from the Teddy Roosevelt's Great White Fleet?

Given the basic rules proposed:
"This campaign is open to any subject from any era. The only restriction is that the predominant color must be White. "
...this build could actually be open to car/truck builders, sci-fi guys (R2D2 or Snow Speeder anyone?), Cruise ships, airline planes, etc... Wow that is variety!!!

However, the Great White Fleet was only painted white from the waterline to top of the hull, so with all the acreage topside and below the waves, it would not be 'predominantly white'


(duck, weave, dodge...

Sorry Richard, couldn't stop myself. )

OK. It looks like we've got our 10 and then some!

We need to talk about start and end dates. I've got a few already in the pipeline so I'm thinking later in the year if not January 2021; but I'm open to suggestions.

What say you?!

I would be good with a date from July/Aug onwards as I have a few campaigns I will be close to finishing around then. And as with your normal campaign periods Richard, will it be a 12 monther ?

I looked for a plastic model of the Leslie Special from the Great Race but sadly it doesn't seem like anyone makes one.

That would've been a perfect choice. I may build Discovery from 2001: Space Odyssey.

I plan to do an Irish Army UN AML 90 and whilst Eschelon have announced the coming release of their decal set for it, I have no idea when it will be released. I would not be able to finish until I have that. Besides, I have several other builds on the go at the moment anyway (some with major scratch build work), so a finish well into 2021 would be good.

I'll see if I can get the campaign set up this week sometime. Start date of September 1st going through June 2021. Can always extend it to the end of the year if there's a need.

Great, thats me signed up for more madness .... not sure what I will go with on this one, I have a M3/M5 halftrack, a 251 or possibly a Horch with just a winter whitewash. Its a shame you cant get a Bedford MJ in 1/35th or I would do that as I drove one on our Regimental Mobile recruiting team which was repainted all white.....

Yeah, I’m either going to do the Trumpeter Centauro B1 in UN White or a Maultier with a winter whitewash...

Cheers

I'm aiming a little lower... Takom AML-90 no interior, Echelon decals.....

Super detailing the M981 for the '20/20 in 2020' build, the Dana for the 'Got wheels' build and Tamiya Horch for the 'Shep Paine' build, with plans for the 'build a photo' build requiring scratch building too, has me a little detailed out. I am looking to do a few out of the box simple builds for a while after these.... I hope...

I have the tamiya M2 Bradly and sdk.fz 250/5, for the shep. campaign, a just finished A-36 Mustang, for a Areoscale campaign The Big Three, and a couple big project im doing for fun like the Italeri ( Or should it be " little scary.") Sherman calliope that im doing a lot of scratch building and improvments on, and then there's the RFM M1A2 TUSK 2 SEP full interior with huge black dog stowage set.

Hey Gulf could some of us ( meaning mostly me! ) start our kits a little early, like just sub-assemblies, no painting or anything. Because I just got the AFV club scimitar and Im really exited to start,. Im planing on painting it in U.N white. Any ways that was just an idea.

What say you all?

Im cool with that! ( But one small thing I was a little too exited to start and started cutting out the road wheels, dose that interfere with the no started kit rule?
