                        Before this gets out of hand....
                        I jump onto this Forum to share some laughs and info with people of similiar interests. I jumped back into modeling to get away from stress. The second either one starts to mimic the pervasive politics and tension of the real world will be the second I step away from one or both.
                        This was just an idea that came from an earlier post and it should be fun.
                        I AM building or trying to build a 1/72 Tiger I on August 8, the 60th anniversary of the demise of M. Wittmann.
                        I hope you join me.

                        Exactly! So just set a date and that is that. C'mon dude, it's Tiger Day, not Tiger Days! The whole pernt of this was to have it all go on in one crazy day. They don't have the Fourth of July on two days because some folks will be on vacation. Laugh [(-D]

                        If you set a day I cannot swing, then that's life, ainnit?

                        as long as it is not between the 11th & 16th, i am ok.
                        i am making my annual trip to Watkins Glen for the Winston Cup race.
                        (yes, i know there is a different title sponsor. but this is my 17th trip to that track for that event. it will be some time before i am prepared to say the 'new' name)

The one day idea is ideal, but if an alterate date of August 1 would facilitate a few more members, fine. If everyone can do it on the 1st instead of the 8th, even better. It wouldn't be fair to change the date unless everyone signed up is OK with it.
                        Let's get some responses...

                        I agree with you. Most of the fun for me would be having that one specific day to do it. If it turns out I don't do it, then I don't do it. The End. I'll still enjoy reading other peoples' experiences. Find one day that most people can do, but I'd still suggest having all the kits done on the same day.

                        BTW, if I'm trying to complete this kit in one day, you won't see a lot of posts from me on that day! It'll be a purely after-action report. Mishaps? You betcha -- that's my middle name.

                        Sounds great to me!!!! I hope that Phil will be able to jump back in as well. I say exactly one week prior....Sunday 12:01 A.M. to 11:59 P.M. when we send in the photos. I really appreciate you letting us do this, and I will definately keep the results under wraps, as I will probably be too busy packing for Phoenix anyways!!!! LOL So, that puts me in for thhe August 1st date....my brother will be in too, he's going to register with FSM this weekend he says. and I will e-mail Phil directly!!! Thanks again..

                        If you guys could settle on a day the week before, work between 12:01 and 11:59 INCLUDING the pics I'll sit on 'em for the week and all should be fair. The details of getting me the pics, et al still has to be ironed out...and this would even be a test of the process.

                        I'm sorry Phil, I certainly didn't want to leave anyone out. The response to the date was positive for a large group, unfortunate for a few, which I expect would be an issue with a one day event. Just needed to get it settled.
                        Hopefully if this works out there will be more, with a variety of subjects.

                        I seem to have fallen off the list of "possibles". Right now, I'm planning on doing this one, but not sure of my schedule yet.

                        Hey armormaster, your sig is broken. There's some weird image in there. I think this is what you need to add to fix it.

                        Roger that. The Tunisia vehicle will be easier to paint anyway. Tongue [:P]

                        And to think with my post and the imagination of Ausf, it got started. I'm still in, but need the kit. Will get soon...

                        Question --

                        does "one kit" mean you can't kitbash?

                        Revell's early Tiger I is the REALLY early one, with the pistol port on the turret side. Revell's later Tiger I has, of course, the late cupola. So if you want to do the mainstream 43 and early 44 Tiger I, during the prime of the vehicle's life (with the early cuploa but with the escape hatch instead of the pistol port on the turret side), you have to use the early kit but the turret sides from the later kit.

                        It wouldn't be the end of the world, as I could do a Tunisia (or Leningrad) Tiger I, but what I had in mind was a Kursk Tiger, and the Revell kits are no good for that.
