                        75th Anniversary of 1943 (World at War)
                        Posted by checkmateking02 on Monday, December 4, 2017 7:50 PM
                        It's less than thirty days until we reach 2018, and that brings the 75th anniversary of the year 1943. Like the earlier World at War group builds, this one is for the purpose of memorializing with models the events and participation of the many nations engaged in WWII.
                        The object is to build a model of anything that existed in 1943, the way it appeared in 1943.  You can select any subject from any nation, using any scale.
                        The year 1943 provides quite a range of subject matter:  Stalingrad was still hotly contested; the North African conflict was reaching its conclusion; Guadalcanal was still dragging on; there were actions in Sicily, Kursk, invasion of the Gilberts--to name a few.  There were probably things going on in civilian life that would make suitable subject. 
                        As before, the GB will run from 1 January, 2018 until 31 December, 2020--the 75th anniversary of the year the war ended.  That way, new participants can join up any time, and can build a representative model from each year of the war, from start to finish.
                        The events of each year during the war are too momentous to forget or neglect.
                        Here's the badge for the 1943 anniversary build.
                         
                        The previous GB's have been well received, so I appreciate everyone who has taken part.
