Hey Jeff why don't you do a King Tiger zwilling with the pair of Nichimo kits that you have? I am going to have to watch this topic, cause I might have an idea or two.

Sounds like fun to me...here's my concept...

The US provided the Russians with Lend-Lease M3 halftracks. Since their BA series of armored cars was a bit long in the tooth by 1942, they decided to mount a T-34/76 turret on top of a modified halftrack body....so there's my concept...

Tamiya M3 halftrack kit, old Tamiya T-34 kit, and lots of sheet styrene. I figured that if the Germans can mount a 75mm on a 251 chassis, the Russians could mount a 76mm on an M3 chassis...

Well, it's going to take some time to execute this well, but I'm SO in Big Smile [:D]

I haven't quite decided yet, but it will be something whacky...probably something on a T-34 chassis, but who knows. I have a couple of Nichimo King TIgers which really aren't worth building, so maybe I'll do something with them...

I figure we'd start June 1 and go until December 1st....

Anything goes, as long as it's ludicrous, whacky, or off-the-wall. It can be any era, any scale. It can be purely fictional, or it can be a feasible, believable platform of your design. The only catch is, you have to make up a story to go with the vehicle...

Concept ideas...

A Sherman with a Panther turret.
King Tiger AA tank
Krupp Protze with a quad 20mm or 37mm AA gun
M3 halftrack with a turret on the back...hmm...now there's an idea I like!!! (that's mine!)

So there you have it...something we can goof around with.

An armor group build for the most insane, unlikely military vehicle, or even a purely fictional vehicle type...like a BergeMaus, or a King Tiger Wassenschlepper, or anything else your imagination can dream up.

Drag out that old, half-built, neglected kit and do something whacky to it...and have some fun...

No rivet counting, color police, or mechanical engineering lessons...if you can figure out a way to mount an 88 on a Kubelwagen, go for it. Who cares if the suspension can't support it, or the fact that it would disassemble itself the first time it was fired...

Anyone up to having some fun and being completely childish (ok, let me re-phrase that... being MORE childish than we already are.)

The only rules are as follows: I can't exist in the form you model it, and you can't swipe anyone's ideas. If someone does a Kubelwagen with an 88 on it, don't do a Jeep with a 105mm.
