(HISTORIC BATTLES) Battle of the Bulge 60th anniversary Group Build--starts Nov. 1

Hey pionier44
This is the basic info so read on.........


This group build subject is the battle of the Bulge There was interest in this build in the armor forum but I put it as Historic battles instead of listing tanks planes etc.

GUIDELINES
Axis or Aliied vehicles that were used in the Battle of the Bulge
Any scale
Armor, aircraft, figures,and dioramas are acceptable
Aftermarket and PE can be used

DATES

This build will start on November 1st and end sometime in late febuary or march

So that just about covers it...........Thump

Ok, twist my arm! Now, I've got an Italeri M4A1 & Tiger I aufE/H1. Does either one count? Off the top of my head I don't know the dates these versions were fielded. I also have a Dragon V-2 Missle, but I think the BOB was a ways from those launch sites?

Alright I'll enlist for this one, the end date happens to coincide nicely with my local chapter's big contest .
Put me down for
1/72 DML Arado 234B
1/35 Tamiya sdkfz 222
That should be enough for now, look forward to building with you.

ok-last (only) tank I built was appox. 40 yrs ago...so why not! Please put me down for a
1/35 Tamiya Sherman.......now it's time to empty out the spare change cup....

QUOTE: now it's time to empty out the spare change cup

I know how you feel. Im not sure about aircraft but Armor models cost ALOT more than I can afford.

Just for all of you new guys who have signed up, Dont be worried about having you name on the list right away. I havent seen DDay around the forums for a long time.

Would it be possible to end this thread and have a new owner take over the build?
I don't want the job, but there are a bunch of guys here that can handle it (Rebel, Jason, etc, etc)

I will if you guys want me too.

I don't mind either, Honestly, I think we are good. I figure all that is left is for everyone to post their projects.

Hey!

I also posted at the Armor forum, I want in on this one, plans are for a King tiger with after market.
Where do I sign up?

Rather than look through all 8 pages of this group build, I'll ask is anyone building a Nashorn? I'm in the middle of building the DML Nashorn kit. Was just wondering if anyone else is working on one?

Glenn

ShModeler- incase you didn't see, you are all signed up and 53ryder, I replied on the other post about the Nashorn

what about an M-16 AA halftrack???

Now that one I don't know

there were m-16 aa in bastogne.

I knew someone would! I washed my King Tiger tonight. I am assuming pictures aren't necessary!!

so, if it's not too late to get in on it, i'll do a small dio with an M16 AA with some figures..... Anyone have a suggestion on a good Bastogne US figures kit?

I started on my Warriors figure last night. It's a real beauty. I hope I can do it justice. I also ordered PlusModels Memorial. I will probabbly start on my trees tonight. Found the glycerine. Very slick stuff. I need to go by the floral shop and raid their ferns and such. Since I have already started my jeep sometime ago, I will leave that off for fear of violating the rules. So a simple vignette in the ardennes is what I plan on doing.

Unless there are no Jeep objections. Then I will include it as well.

Let me know, whoever is in charge.

Please see Jason’s post below for the current list of participants.



I hope this build is a success and if you have suggestions or comments on the guidelines please share.

With dday MIA I here by volunteer to take over “leading” this Group Build unless there is any objections?


OK then…I have tried to catch thing up a bit. If I have left you off the list, let me know, I’ll add you. If you have dropped out of the build, it’s Ok, let me know and I will remove you.

Please enjoy the build!

tankergeoff. I will add you to the list, but I can't do it in this thread. It will have to be on the one I started on the Armor board. Dragon makes some 101st airborne The kit info is: 1/35 dr6163 US 101st Airborne Division (Bastogne, 1944)
Welcome aboard

tediam...go ahead and use the Jeep for the diorama since it will be added to the sence that you hadn't started yet.

Oops...I think I may have stepped over the line. Sorry Jason, I apologize, I don't get to the Armor forum often enough (obviously). I’ll stand down, keep up the good work.

okay.... thanks jwest. appreciate it. i'm fairly new back into modeling, so I'm crossing my fingers that it will turn out okay. If it doesn't, I'll be happy to donate it as a victim to one of your German armor vehicles....... hahaha.

My, oh My, this is getting confusing. Is this build here or in the armor section???? Perhaps we could get a moderator involved to allow editing the forum. Let me know where to post, please!!

No problem Model Grampa. If you can, would you edit your first post with the list of people who are in and take out the list? I am going to post the same (with new additions) and this really will get confusing!! It's like a coupe going on!! The Bulge Build Putsch!

POST HERE FOR THE BUILD PLEASE!!!!!!

ddayomaha is MIA, so just a reminder-The Build is ON!!. Here is the original post from ddayomaha:

Thanks for letting me in Modelgrandpa!
My KT will be in a dio!

I e-mailed Lawrence Hansen about the confusion to see if maybe there is something we can do about being able to update the list at the beginning of the build instead of up here, btw.

Thanks ModelGrampa. I think that all there is left to do is build!!
