Dragon has released a whole series of tiny, easy-to-build models of armor in 1/144th scale, complete with phot etch and teeny decals. They are lovely for things so tiny.
Predictably, 99.9% of the stuff is German, and mostly WWII German at that. But they have released one precious pack of non-German stuff!
This is set 14028, Challenger 2 and Warrior. I just bought a set on greatmodels for $3.40.

I'm proposing a Tiny Challenger Challenge from December 20 to January 3. Build and paint the Challenger, and post your results.
(it's the Challie pre-TELIC, so it's not suitable for the Iraq invasion, but fine for Kosovo).
Anyone interested? The kits are very simple and it should be a fun, painless thing to do over the holidays, when slipping in a few minutes here or there on this modest little project can make a lot of progress. And visiting relatives will find the miniscule kit fascinating! For those with more time, a diorama would be in order. Maybe winter in Kosovo, with garland and a tiny tree on the tank?
How can you say no to four bucks and six pieces?

Building the Warrior to go along with it would be purely optional.
