I'm good with any of the three ideas. I'll just continue to monitor and then figure which kit to pull out of the stash....or convince my wife that I really really really need to buy another kit   Wink....

Hmmm?

Well if I had to choose from the three it would definately be the 'Heavy' GB as I love my big SPG's and there are a couple of kits floating around that would be ideal.

I've just signed up to Dale's (Seriously Altered) StuG GB which I'll be starting next week as I'm putting the finishing touches to my WIP JSU-152 this weekend. I'm building the Tamiya StuG III Ausf B as my GB entry.

I think a great idea for a GB would be a 'Wheels - no tracks' GB. Wheeled vehicles only, anything from WWII Austin Tillys or Willys Jeeps and right up to a modern day US Humvee. I need an excuse to build something with wheels and without tracks!

Nope, I just was throwing in a whole new idea; not just a modification.Cool  Whatever happens I won't (probably) be able to participate due to craziness and commitment to another group build or two...  :/

Three of my GBs end in June so my plate is full.  If you can push the start date til July, count me in and I really like the idea Afrika Korps GB.  I don't think I have seen one for last 2 years...

Was there one already? I can't keep track of all the GB's. I recall a North African or Western Desert GB, but those are broader (British and Italian) then say an Afrika Korps GB.

Well depending on the interest, an Afrika Korps one might be available down the pipeline or sooner. Whistling

Start a GB for all of us who stalled out when it came time to paint!Stick out tongue

LOL that would indeed be a popular GB. I could enter multiple. Bang Head

Steven, my post mentioned no captured, but I might be persuaded to modify that portion. It did cross my mind, but then that takes a little away from the German equipment.

What about a captured, or repurposed vehicle group build?

Sorry gents but yes. A couple actually. If I can spur enough interest, I'll fire one up March 1st and continue until June 30. That's 4 months and long enough. Big Smile

I've hit the wall on my other builds and don't feel like painting (where I am) in the dark after work.......so I'd love to build! Need to break open another box LOL

My ideas, such as they are:

 

  • Panzerjager GB (Marders, Hetzers, Ferdinand/Elefant, Jadgtiger, Jadgpanther, Jagdpanzer IV, Nashorn, StuGs)
  • Heavy Metal GB (this would involve any AFV that was classified as heavy by their respective country.
  • Afrika Korps GB (no Italian or captured) (Will open this up to the flyboys too)

 

There you have it. I will wait until Sunday night to see if there is enough interest.

So if you were to vote for one only, which would it be?
