I'd much rather be a young gun, but such is life. I'm in with some kit or other. Is it armor only? If so I'll find something on my ever growing stack. Otherwise, I just picked up the Dragon U.S.S. Essex and might give it a go for this.

I just looked at my drivers license and learned that I'm well qualified for this group build Wink [;)]

Put me down for a Tamiya 1:35 Churchill (probably a Mk. VII, but I've got a while to decide).

Maybee this is the place to progress the Academy MK3 Stuart then, sure as hell an old gun.
Looked so cool in the box but yesterday I was told its an "old" out of scale Tamy rebox...
I'll enjoy the build anyhow, no doubt about that :)

Hey guys I updated the list. The subject is anything you want to build. The idea of this build is to get us geezers together to show up the young'uns...... Keeping it as an open build will hopefully get more participants. The dates run 11/1/05 - 5/1/06

Since I easily meet the minimum age requirement sign me up. Think I'll do something based on the 38(t) chassis...either Maquette's Marder II or Aufklarungspanzer with 2cm gun.

I would like to get in on this too, but I will decide on a kit later. If I pick a kit now, I will probably either want to build it sooner, or find a kit I like better closer to the starting date. I don't need to worry about not having a kit, though, becuse I figured out that it will take me at least 188 more years of full time buildng to finish my stash. [:0]

Probably going to be a wing thing, unless everybody else is doing armor. Then I will probably go with one of the gazillion UM or PST kits I have. (BT-5 looks like fun)

Old age and treachery will overcome something,but I forgot what it was...

If you guys don't mind me building auto stuff, then I'm in. Just started in the MotoGP GB as well, busy with a see-through Porsche and aiming towards starting my first 1:24 F1.

So when's this one starting again...? That might help me make up my mind as to what I'll do for a subject. Might shift the Revell F1 away for something else.

Sign me up, Sir Geoff. It'll take me that long to figure out what to build.

Let's see...Tiger, SdKfz 251, Tiger, SdKfz 7, Tiger, Flak, Tiger, Jeep, King Tiger, Sherman, King Tiger...

Hmmm, I seem to have a plethora of Tigers...but that may or may not be the deciding factor!!

Thanks for the build.

But since when does 35 qualify as being old??? I've got paint older than that on my shelf!

Geoff, it's wipw, not wjpw. Thanks for adding me in. As for doing a Tiger, I'm really not sure. It depends on what I've got going as well as what I've been working on. I'll get a wild hair about doing something, I'm sure. I've got so many frappen' kits hanging around not to mention the ones I've got on pre-order, it's rediculous. Who knows, maybe I'll decide to do one of the Sherman's with a full off resin conversion. Now that WOULD be dangerous!! Thanks for putting this together.
