Here's a new idea for a group build -- a towed gun build. This can be with or without figures, with or without transport. The gun should be circa 1900+, preferably, so that it's roughly in line with the "Armor" period of the forum.
Any scale! Any nationality! Hopefully the unusual suspect will lead to more unusual items like "small wars" artillery (Caucasus, the recent Balkans Wars, etc.) or Italian or Japanese artillery.
To keep the theme in line, here are some restrictions:
1) No SPA
2) No railguns
3) No fixed guns (fortress guns, ship's guns, etc.)
The "gun" can be AAA, howitzer, field gun, anti-tank, etc.. For missles, let's draw the line at "gunlike" tube-fired missles like Nebelwerfers instead of things like Scuds.
The transport can be any kind of truck or other prime mover, jeep or whatever pulled a gun. Having a tank or other AFV pull it is cheating!

Duration: Let's start on April 1 and end on July 1. This puts it comfortably after the Sherman build.
I haven't decided what I'll do yet. Candidates are ICM's 100mm gun plus Serbian truck for Kossovo (fighter bomber bait!), or a Russian WWII traktor plus 210mm gun, those funky giant guns with the treads.
But there are so many nice gun models and so many great transports, it's going to be hard to choose. I guess the classic choice is 88mm plus SdKfz 7, but why be a classic when you can be an innovator?
Happy modeling.
