                        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.

                        Should we throw this thread over to the armor forum? It seems to have lost steam after a good start. Just a thought.

                        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.

                        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'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

                        OKAY!!!! Just add a post or send me an email if your in..... If we set a start date of 6/1 would that work? I'll do DML's hetzer OR a Hellcat, not sure yet.

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

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

                        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

                        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.

                        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!

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

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

                        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?
