                        Thanks Dwight, seems we are pretty much on the same wave length re British designed and made. (Were you feeling a little guilty about something when you saw your name, or is that just your normal level of Paranoia?). We should encourage Jon (Captain Caveman) to commit and finish a GB too (He, he - are you reading this Jon?)

                        I have several kits that I could do, but I'm thinking of doing the old Italeri Crusader Mk 3 or the Tamiya Centaur I have. I have the etch for the Crusader but the Centaur would be OOB (I need a break from this compulsion to superdetail everything - it takes me too long to build the kit)

                        Wasn't sure of the number of guys and girls (Hey Frosty) that might buy into a WW2 basis, so I thought that maybe some of the modern AFV guys might like in on the act too. This might bring it up to worthwhile numbers - seeing as Tamiya have recently released the Chieftan and a few guys have been making some waves about the Challengers that are around. Of course there is also the mainstream AFV Club Scorpian and Scimitar for them as well. If too many guys want in, we could always split the GB into 2 'post WW2' and 'pre to WW2'

                        Lets see how this progresses.

                        Cheers.

                        I saw my name in the title and I thought I was going to be reprimanded or something for being naughty.Big Smile [:D]Big Smile [:D]Big Smile [:D]Big Smile [:D]Big Smile [:D]

                        Seriously, I am for it Pete.

                        My suggestion is that it should include only locally produced armor (or softskins if necessary). I think we should exclude imports like the Sherman, Lees/Grants and Stuarts (no offense to Sherm for I somehow know that another GB dedicated to that old reliable is in the works. Right Sherm?Wink [;)])

                        There are a lot of possible kits for this build. Tamiya alone has the Cromwell, Churchill, Matilda, Centaur and some softskins. I am not sure about the other companies but I think there are a lot of options out there.

                        OK I am interested in the Cromwell.

                        ARMOR - British/Commonwealth Group Build (9/17/04 to 12/31/04)

                        Crossracer recently posted pics of his Tamiya Centaur and in that thread Dwight raised the question of whether anyone was interested in a British Armour Group Build. There are a lot of GB's lined up a present, but I'm game for one that will be a little different from the usual German or Sherman based builds. How about anyone else?

                        GB is a go. The rules are:
                        Main Theme: Any British or Commonwealth designed and Manufactured Armoured vehicle, softskin vehicle, Artillery (SP or towed ) or Figurines of any soldier in British or Commonweath uniform.
                        Period of operation: WW1 to modern day
                        Scale: Any
                        Build type: Can be Out of the Box or Modified
                        Markings: To be of a British or Commonwealth (at the time that is, so Indian regiments during WW2 are okay) vehicle, gun, etc.
                        Medium: Any (Plastic, Resin or other all okay)
                        Start Date: 17 September 2004
                        End Date: 31 December 2004

                        Okay so far those interested and have named their poison are:
