Ummmmmmmm.... yes??

Sorry for the delay, haven't been on the internets here for a few days. Got page one updated again, the list is getting long and distinguished!

Satch_ip - I don't have a problem with you using your build for a crossover with another GB, so long as you're meeting all the requirements here. I.E., not started until after December 1, done before the first of April. I want to make sure we see the whole build from start to finish in the specified time period. As long as you can do that, we're good to go.

I would like to join up with a 1/48 Tamiya Tiger I.  I've never done a whitewash so this should be interesting... let me know whatya think

I think that'd be sweet!

You're added to the front page.  

Never did a winter white-wash before so count me in, dupes! I'll be building a 1/35 Cyber-Hobby "Orange Box" JS-II.

Guess I better go figure out which winter scheme I'll be doing and how to pull it off. (luckily, I stumbled upon some unique winter schemes.) PM inbound.

Mikael - got you on the front page. Can you post a pic of that scheme you're shooting for here?

I'm gonna aim for something like this(you already saw it in my message).......

This is the scheme I will be doing to model Hans Ulrich Rudels bird.

By snow planes, do you happen to mean Aerosans?

Shoot, I like the sound of that Mia!

Wingy - you've been updated to "official status" from "some kind of T-34". Heh.

OK dupes the decision has been made... and purchased.  Put me down for the Dragon # 6418, T-34/76 Model 1941 with cast turret.

wing_nut: Nice choice...did you know panzerguy is going Rusky too?  There will be some outstanding builds on this.  To use a quote from one of my favorite movies:

(with Irish/ Scottish accent)..."It must be a fashionable fight (build)...it's attracted all the finest people...Braveheart

Glad to have you in on this one Marc!

Do you guys realize that there's less than TWO WEEKS to go until WWII-TW kicks off?

I just can't wait, the Winter Warriors GB and my Bear Trap GB both start on the same day!! (unfortunatley that's when college finals are too)

WAAAIT a minute... when does this thing start?  I obviously didn't pay enough attention to page 1!  Two weeks!!!  Holy cow, I gotta get crackin' on that Mobelwagen...

Oh, uh, not to be a stickler, but you realize that on Decemeber 1st, winter has not even officially started yet, right??

Yes, Boyd, Mr.Stickler-man. HOWEVER! Last time we did this, we did January 1st to May 1st (the same 4 month span). People who finished near the end - and live in more temperate climates than I - were taking pictures of their "winter" builds in their very grassy, bushy, and leafy backyards. Heh. Hoping to have this one done by the time the snow is melted.
