Here is a idea for a campaign. the idea is anything with the name of an animal. Example Buffalo(plane or MRAP) Jaguar(car or plane.Start date to be set by a campaign manager if it gets off the ground.

It's not just military modelers that might be interested in this campaign. Many automotive subjects also have animal names: Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Bison, Ford Falcon, etc. Think about it.

Puma, Harrier, Swordfish, Albacore, Elefant, Storch, Cougar, Camel, Bantam, Wasp, ships, aircraft, cars, armour, tons of options on all fronts.

A great idea for a multi-genre site-wide group build.

Cheers, D

i would like to join, but it depends on when the campaign will start and how long it's going to last for. i'm not going to build anything soon that can be suitable for this campaign. if this campaign starts in a few months or so, that will give me time to get a kit named after an animal.

I just went through my stash and was surprised that I didn't find a single kit of a vehicle named for an animal. However I found several kits in my stash of horse mounted troops and horse drawn vehicles. Would those be acceptable?

I don't see why not, after all they are animals.

The last animal I painted was a camel 35 years ago but I've been wanting to challenge myself again as I'm getting back to the bench after a long hiatus. Depending on the time frame (later in the year is better for me) count me is for something horse related.

Great I think that is 10. I will send for approval. Maybe a fall or early spring as a starting date.

I just recounted and so far there are only nine willing to participate.Is there any more takers. If so I think an October 2016 start date and running until May 2017.

Hi Guys,
I went to my stash to pull out what I thought was a horse drawn vehicle. Turns out its just the vehicle without the horses. While looking I discovered an old Monogram Brummbar (Grizzly Bear) in the stash so I'll go with it. Hope the campaign makes a go of it.

I'm in with a Chevrolet Bison:



Not exactly like this, but similar.

Where will the Group Build Thread be?
