OK...I will try to juggle with the Artillery GB but.. I'm in as long as we are looking at a date in 08 for the finish!!

Don't know yet what I am going to do. Will get back shortly on that. By my background it will have an artillery flavor!!

Rounds Complete!!

I'd like to see the times for this extended. I can joinb with two Dragon 1/72 scale British Challengers; one with bar armor and one with a dozer blade. Then if there's time, I have a couple of AA7VP's I can do among others. Man, I have a ton of modern armor to do in 1/72!

Ok there is now an "official" thread for this GB in Armor. I think It should be the primary one so please post there.

Well, March 1st is my birthday, but I should have it done alot sooner barring any unforseen circumstances. I just wanted to have it extended a bit so I could do several more kits too! LOL!

Okay, I'm in with the Dragon 1/72 scale Challenger II with Bar armor. I'll be doing it in British Home camouflage, not the desert camo from Op Telic. Now lets see what everyone else will be doing!

Here's an idea if those of us that have our models done should show some images of the full done model here as well. (Not work in progress) Just Fnished ones. What do you all think?

Building the Impossible Is my main goal!!

Good Idea White, I like it, although I think we should post the finished builds over in a new thread in the Armor section: That way it will be easier for people to comment on the builds.
