60th anniversay Battle of the Bulge group build

Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, July 28, 2004 1:15 PM

I was thinking about starting a 60th Anniversary Bulge build with a start date in early November and an end date around the end of Febuary.

I know the bulge actually starts on Dec 16 but I figured since it is near Christmas I should sart it earlier.

I was thinking that it would be open to everything planes figures armor dios in any scale with PE and aftermarket or not (your choice)

Are you guys interested?

If there is enough intrest I will start a topic in the Group builds forum for this one.

Sounds interesting...November is still pretty far off though, who knows what will be happening then. The Stug GB will be done by that time, so I imagine you could get quite a group together for it depending on how you define the rules and timeframe.

You can count me in, either with Tamiya's M20 Armored Car, or the M4A3 105mm Sherman.....haven't decided yet on the kit

Sounds interesting. November is still fairly far away, and I know that the commonwealth GB is around that time as well. I'm sure there would be enough people that would be able to commit.

Ditto! Maybe the M-8. Wow, something non-German for once. Wink [;)]

I'd have to pass. I have so many GB's that I've got mostly done, but still need work.-- it'll take a while to get them all cleaned up, then I've got other hobbies I've been ignoring. Too bad, as I think the Ardennes Offensive is interesting. Enjoy, guys.

Are you defecting or something? Big Smile [:D]

Hey wait a minute...at the start of the Battle of the Bulge Germans pretended to be Americans and used captured US vehicles like the M-8 to cause confusion.

Sneaky you... Big Smile [:D]

As a heads up the real build is in the Group build forum.

I'm going to try William, but then I commit to everything. Cool [8D]

The timeframe is about right, for after the Stug Build, it looks wide open. The finish date is generous also.

That doesn't qualiffy because it's already built! And Hessler's tank, chassis number 3456076, had the larger wingnuts .... Tongue [:P]

You know, though, that might be a fun GB -- movie armour GB. (Lightbulb goes off ... )

Go ahead and sign me up if you haven't already. I should be able to participate but will wait until the time is nearer to decide on a subject. Big Smile [:D]

The British/Commonwealth GB is set to run from 17 September 2004 to 31 December 2004. This GB is to February 2005, so hopefully you will have enough time to do both.

DDay, I couldn't find the Group build post in the Sticky, so I responded here.

I am commited to a few GB's at the moment but intend to do most as OOB builds, so provided I get those finished in time, I will join this one. Either Tamiya M8 Greyhound or DML Konigstiger Henschel turret. (I have the Hellcat but hope someone suggests a Tank destroyer GB some time next year Whistling [:-^]

)

Petbat, the Group build hasn't been stickied in the Armor GB topic but it is in the group build forum, just click on the group build forum and you should find it.

Pete,

Same here. My M-36 is waiting although it could be made for the Bulge GB Anyway I am still allocating August and September for a personal build and after that if I have time for the Commonwealth and the Bulge GB's I'll catch up. And oh I almost forgot..the ANZIO GB.
