Kiora guys as you can tell from my posts am new to this here site so please treat me with kid gloves and pardon me question if its odd or out of place, Am just wondering if any of you gifted modelers have made a diorama depicting one of NZ's VC recipients in the process of their Gallant feats? if so could i please be hot linked? if not, is it possible to have a campaign run amongst the NZ membership and possibly even the OZies? would be cool imho. cheers guys.

Hi James
Welcome:all the sites under the kitmaker banner are fantastic.
I'd second your idea of a NZ /Aussie only group build.
Just a little off topic re your VC idea,I'd recommend getting hold of ..In the face of the enemy the complete history of the Victoria Cross in NZ (except for Willie Apiatas'whose hadn't been awarded )
byGlyn Harper and Colin Richardson.A great read and a great source of ideas.

I'd be up for the campaign. Would have to be 2010 though as I'm full on with study this year.
