Just musing on this GB.  How about making it post war?  It's just that, well, just about every armour builder seems to mostly do German WWII stuff, followed by Allied and Jap tanks.  Well, just an idea...

I know what you mean it seems that way due to the availablity of WWII German kits I myself plan to possibly build the DML LVPT-7 or some other more modern vehicle but i don't plan on limiting people to post WWII as i plan on doing 2 kits 1 possibly being allied WWII I believe removing WWII armor from the build would possibly steer others away from it. My but you do bring a very valid observation to attention TTFN

Well, I finally finished my JagdPanzer IV L/70. Built straight out of the box, painted with Model Master & Humbrol paints. The treads are a little loose, but overall, I think it turned out OK. It was a fun build, as are most of the DML kits I do.

 My StuG IV late is waiting for decals & weathering, whenever I can get time off work and the wife lets me go to my toy room!

GRANT Np with that,the deadline is more so we can see what people can do with a 1/72,1/76 heck even 1/86 ( for any Roco builders) in two weeks of build time.

SID great work on the JagdPanzer nice cammo keep it up

Great looking build ammosid.  I have the smae kit for this build and hope its turns out as nice as yours... whenever I can get around to it that is. 

Chris:  I'm looking forward to the Vacation GB.  Let me know what you want on the badge and I'll give it a shot.

Just my , but awhile ago we had a Mad Leopard Build which was all post-war Leopard tanks from Germany. I got the badge for that one. It was alot of fun. I think I'll be a part of the next Mad Braille Scale Armor Build, since I have such a large collection of such Armor to build.

Of course, this GB just states 'German', but not a period of time.  We all assumed WWII (although I thinking about building a Leopard as it happens, and seeing if anyone objected)

1.Can be enemy armor in german decals or german armor in enemy decals

2. No time period any panzer, any year. 

Thanks for the compliments on my L/70. I tried to work on my StuG IV this weekend but all I had time for was to give it a wash of thinned burnt umber.

Would 1/76 scale also work in here? I stopped by my favorite hobby shop Saturday and saw that Revell Germany has some of the old Matchbox 1/76 scale kits, and I got the Wespe kit. It has the little diorama base with a palm tree. I also got the Puma, with a little street diorama included.

Also...how do I post my group build badge?

Thanks,
