WBill's #100

	I know it is a bit off, but what would you like to see Bill do to commemorate his 100th? My choice is the: VW Type 166 Schwimwagen

Re: WBill's #100

	Bill should give us a list of kits he would like to build. Then when we could vote on which one we think should be #100. What do you guys think? Erik On the bench: Michael Whittman's Tiger "SO4"

Re: WBill's #100

	The idea has merit...but I have 75 kits in the stash right now along with a lot of different accessories. Rather than put it to a vote right now, let's see how things go with 97-99 and as I get closer to #100 I can see what I've got on hand, what's interesting to me at that point in time, and then I'll post up some things and let the group decide. How's that for a compromise? http://www.bpmodels.net

	I was just going to say that. You need a sherman in the collection (even if you do have to buy the kit and the MK tracks)

Believe it or not I've actually built Shermans in the past but ultimately had to reach a fork in the road in terms of kits, references, etc. and the Germans won out. The only Allied piece of armor in the stash right now is the Trumpeter KV-II.

Nothing personal, but please don't make that your 100th. LOL

Have you done a Jagdpanther?

Re: WBill's #100

	Have to agree that would be kind of anti-climactic Eric! I have built a JP a long time ago (DML D-Day special)...and have the two latest Smart Kits in the stash as a matter of fact. http://www.bpmodels.net

Sounds like a definate maybe dodge of the question at hand per se...know what I mean...Have you ever run for office?

#100 has to be BIG LIKE TEXAS!!! How about a 1:16 Tiger!!! or better yet one of those 1:8 metal things!

Heck, just build a friggin' tank 1:1 in your garage and have the whole forum over for a party and a ride!

Re: WBill's #100

	Patience guys, patience! I will post the list as I get closer to #100 so you'll have to wait a little while for that to happen. It's still a few months off. I promise that the choices will be worthy ones, but I don't even know what I'm going to have for dinner tonight, nevermind what I'm going to be building 3-4 months from now! There are several potential projects that I have that could qualify for #100. It won't be a 1/16 KT for sure and may actually end up being a smaller vehicle but with a big heard...who knows? http://www.bpmodels.net

Re: WBill's #100

	OK Bill we'll wait, but it ain't easy. Bill, I've been wondering how and when you started the count. Was it a simple thing like counting the models in the display case. For me it's easy, a wopping 2 models on the shelf. I would have to count all the indtruction sheets to see how many I built in the past year or two. Like Edmund said, my reading skills needs work, I may have read it somewhere but if you could enlighten m, it would be appreciated. I Don't mean to be a pain in the a** with myobvious questions, it had me wondering last night. Rob

Re: WBill's #100

Rob,

I had to reconstruct the list using kit instructions (I save all the instructions from completed kits just like I do the spare parts) and photo dates since I started taking pics. I also have all the built kits still on hand, so that helped cross-check too.

For the curious, here's the current inventory list. I have a separate list (won't post it here) of the AM stuff that I also have on hand to go with the different kits. Virtually all of them have at least 1 item or another associated with them depending.
