Mortal as I am,I know that I am born for a day.  But when I follow at my pleasure the serried multitude of the stars in their circular course, my feet no longer touch the Earth...

Im a huge fan of the Pacific "side of thigns", so I am in.... and yes, this time i will complete the GB! :)  

I had planned to start the old Tamiya 1:350 Fletcher DD-445 this year, may as well do it for this GB. If the Guadalcanal GB also takes off, this will be a crossover if allowed.

Since you allow "shelf of doom" entries (LOVE that term! LOL), I may also add the Revell PT-109 that has been 60% complete for more than a year.

Anyone who wants an in depth look at the Pacific War years, I recomend reading John Costello's classic "The Pacific War 1941-1945". Thick volume, dense at times, but very good.

Cheers

War In The Pacific Group Build 2009 - 2010
Posted by darson on Monday, June 15, 2009 2:15 AM

Situation
Welcome to the 2009 - 2010 War in the Pacific WAr Group Build.  The build will cover events in the Pacific Theatre of Operations between Dec 7th 1941 and 15th August 1945.  Any ship, aircraft, AFV or figure model that represents participants in the conflict are eligible, so go search that stash.

Here's the badge, feel free to add it to your sig.

All I ask is that you host it yourself.

I was trying to find some significant dates from the war to start thing off but came up blank so I'm just going to say:

Start Date 13th July 2009 - Finish Date 30th June 2010

This should give people enough time to finish up current builds

Rules of Engagement
Rules for this one are going to be fairly simple

1. Open to any modeller regardless of modelling skill
2. Any ship, aircraft, AFV or figure model that represents participants in the conflict are eligible.
3. Any scale
4. OOB or as much after market as you want.
5. Cross over builds with other GBs are welcome.
6. Old builds that have been sitting in the " shelf of doom " for the last XX years are also welcome.
7. This build does not cover the CBI Theatre of Operations
8. No "What ifs"
9. Must have fun  Big SmileBig Smile
