                        Tank Destroyer Group Build?
                        Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, November 13, 2004 8:38 PM
                        Not that I don't have enough on my plate as it is, but what would anyone think of starting up a tank destroyer group build sometime early-mid 2005?

                        I had brought that up in around July, but the post got some replies and then just died down. I would have to say that I would be in, depending on the time frame. Would it be open to all armies?

                        all types...... i don't know much about starting these kinds of threads, but I think it would be a good GB. Any army, should we say any era or keep it to WW2?

                        SP's would be good..... like i said, I've never started one of these so any input into rules and stuff would be great...... so let me know.

                        do i HAFTA think on a sunday? Well, I guess it would be anything classified as a TD........ one wouldn't call an M10 or M18 a tank, they are TD's........ same for the Jadgtigers, hetzers, SU class............ if someone has a better description, please help me.

                        If it is a Mid-Summer start time I'd be a player. An SU or a Jadgpanther would be my choice.

                        I think that the gun shouldnt be towed, has to be on a chassis.

                        If it's mid 2005 I'm in... I've already got an Academt TD that would be great. Sounds like a great GB idea- I hope the replies start flowing in!

                        Sounds like fun. Starting the build after he Tiger would be a good idea, maybe leave some time to let the budget build back up a little.

                        okay looks like this may work......... i fer-got the exact end date of the Tiger build, but we'll start this between May and July sometime?

                        I'll start noting who's interested

                        The Tiger ends 6/8/05. Maybe overlapping the two builds by a month or so might not be too bad.

                        May should work pretty good, thats after the Tiger build and before the elaphant build.
                        How about a post in the armor forum.

                        I'd like to add my name to the list. I already have the Academy Jackson and the Verlinden Details set on my Greatmodels wish list and Christmas and a March birthday are coming. The Elefant build ends 6/6, so late May or June would be fine. Pete

                        Oh man get out of my head!! I was just looking at a book today about building US tank destroyers.I was sorely tempted but thought nahh only if Im gonna do a specific kit. Now along comes the very excuse to get it.

                        I knew when I saw Dwight's completed Jackson about a month ago that I had to build that kit. Now I have an excuse. If it comes out half as good as his, I'll be happy.

                        you'll have to start a new thread in the armor forum. It will probably pic up more speed in there.
                        still dont know what i want to build. It will definetly be something german, maybe a Marder III or Jagpanther.
