I added links to my 5 choices, so people will know what they are, but I guess a little too late for you, Kelly.

Sure, give painting a fig a try - the choices are positively endless.

Wendy , Thanks for signing and welcome . Nice to see some figures add to the list ! I would have to say the Elf Archer

Samantha ( Camogirl ) , Fully understand ,been there myself before . just do what you have to do and keep in touch !

Wendy I can be pretty fast if something catches my fantasy. I found this but have to think about it it might be too hard for a first time. https://www.thunderboltmountain.com/product_info.php?cPath=33&products_id=121&osCsid=52ee087118cc0b24e6ef9d1e21617fab

And my pick for Terri is.... Bristol F2b , Eduards love this A/C fro how the fuselage is above the lower wing.
and Penny ....... 1/48 Hasegawa Ju-87B-2 Stuka the Stuka is the Stuka

I think my choice would be for Penny the F4U-1D . It's one of my favorite aircraft from WW2 and for Kelly it will be the F,MA !A58A Pucara. She has neet collection of very interesting aircraft and I enjoy seeing what she has done for her latest build

Terrific idea at letting the other members choose your project We should definitely have more of these sorts of fun campaigns/groupbuilds

Here are my choices (not too scientificly chosen or with knowledge of your previous builds I'm afraid - just really kits i'd like to see built ):

Penny: 1/48 Hasegawa Ju-87B-2 Stuka
Kelly: Dragon Flakpanzer Kugelblitz 1/35
Terri: Morane-Saulnier Type N , Eduards
Wendy: Seil Last Crusader (7th-8th Crusades), 54mm (Great to see the figure modellers represented! )

Rudi

Hi Girls
Love this idea, Hope it goes well.
My choices are.
Penny Tamiya F4u-1D
Kelly Hubble space telescope
Terri Fokker D VII
Wendy Thunderbolt Wood Elf

Thanks for your vote Rudi , Shaun . More contest/campaigns are in the works with new twist being added for in the future .
so far : two for the Camal , Morane-Sauliner
: one for the Strutter , Fokker D.VII

I have updated my previous post with my vote for Wendy.

Chas

That is a really nice figure. It's not too bad if you're used to painting small things already. Tom Meier sculpts are spot on, both in quality and scale. Properly diluted paint is crucial. Give it a try - the worst that can happen is you strip it and start over. Besides, the price - less than $10 for a mounted and foot figure - can't be beat. The service is great too.

I plan on suggesting a Minimize II campaign (which is simply paint a mini 40mm scale or smaller), so you could paint it for that.

Wendy , I like your idea of a minimize II campaign . most definitely be some different for me try .

Hi ladies!


I do hope that you can make this a go, a wonderful idea, for sure...here goes my .02 cents:

Penny-1/48 Hasegawa Ju-87B-2 Stuka
Kelly Revell USS Montrose 1/400 (not a hard choice for me )
Terri 1/48 Morane-Saulnier Type N , Eduards
Wendy Seil Last Crusader
Pam BF109F-2

Good luck!
~Gunny

Wendy. I will order it and see what happens... like you say can't more than start over (afewdozentimes)

Gunny I had a feeling you might pick that one.

Come on ladies , don't be shy ! You guys as well place your votes for which kit you would like to see us build !

If you do, just think of it as extra practice and really getting your money's worth.

Of course, if you need any advice or anything, just give a shout.

Hello Ladies,

Well, here are my picks. Not very original, I'm afraid, as Gunny's taste and mine must be pretty similar, but here goes:

Penny: 1/48 Ju-87B-2 Stuka (a really nice kit, and haven't seen one built in awhile)
Kelly: USS Montrose (I'm starting to do a few naval projects myself, and I'd love to see
more ship-building here)
Terri: The Morane-Saulnier. (a beautiful little kit, one of my favorites)
Wendy: Last Crusader (what an awesome figure, and looks to be a real challange)
Pam: Gavia 1/48 La-7 (a difficult choice, you have some interesting kits there)

Those are my choices. Good luck on your builds, ladies. I'll be watching with interest.


Cheers,
Mike

So far thats 4 votes for the Morane-Sauliner , 2 for the camel , one for the sopwith and one for the Fokker D.vII .

So far it looks like I have a Stuka to build... When is the voting supposed to end??

Penny , the voting will end the day before the campaing offically starts , which is oct 1/08 . Right now is only for sign up and for other members to vote . I'm sorry for the time frame on this . I wanted there to be enough time for us Ladies to sign up and for the voting . Migth not be very may of us , but it's only fair to give enough time . If you have any more questions please ask . Thanks

WOW... I am just sitting here marveling at the detail of the figure I received today actually it has a horse and rider too its amazing how this is done. Now to see if I can do something with it.... After this event of course. Hummm I have not counted the votes guess I should and see how that is going.
Later,
Kelly

It would appear that
1. I talk to much
2. the Kugelblitz is leading

I wasn't too sure about the time frame on this, and was wondering. So I guess the F4U-1D still has a chance at getting picked.. LOL

So far it's

1. Stuka
2. F4U-1D

The detail is indeed amazing. Tom Meier sculpts with a dissecting microscope to get that kind of detail. I'm guessing the Minimize II campaign will be starting in late fall/early winter, if you want to hold off for it. (Just a note, when you prime it be very careful to go light - it's really easy to cover up the details.)

Anyway, I don't know many other ladies who do modeling and such, but I'll see if I can send some this way.

And it seems the Seil Crusader is leading by the slimmest of margins.
It might help to mention I almost never paint something exactly like the boxart. Sometimes I turn a figure into something different.

Wendy. Sounds like a deal to me..

Just to be clear, is the voting on which kit for the lady to build, paint, etc. open to everyone? I was thinking of posting a poll with my five options in the Historicus Forma specific area, but wanted to make sure it was ok . I don't know if there are any other ladies who read Historicus Forma posts only, but it's one way of spreading the word about the campaign.
