Is it ok for me to join if I already have an almost finished scracthbuild piece? I'm talking about my tower project which was started half a year ago and it's near the end. I have a lot of in progress pics if it's needed. Or is this campaign war related only?

Cheers,
dsc.

Where do I sign?

I doubt I'll finish any project I start, but what the hell.

Now to try and select one of the multitude of ideas I have crammed in my brain.

I suppose I'll sign up and try. I guess a year is long enough for a lot of trials and errors!

Is there a sign-up link?

Hi Steve!

Count me in!

"a cut above the rest..." shouldn't it be "A-C-A-T-R"?

The timming is xxcelent to me...

with this timming i can finish a project i suspended for a year and get more motivation to finish... the 80 cms Dora geschutze in 1/35 suspended for depressive period when was anounced the rumor about the launching of the project of the masive producion of this model...

but... this campaign is a good motivation to turn on the assembling line and finally finish the 6 feet long model.

Yeah I'm in, too. Just wondering if the campaign is listed on the armorama campaign site or the modelgeek campaign site, because it doesn't seem to be listed anywhere yet...?

Hi guys,
Need to spread the word I guess .....ONLY 25 .....showing
Please keep pics for main campaign thread ..and remember only 2 per month required .......more dramatic when it suddenly blossoms :-)
I guess that there will be a few who are going to build more than 1 ......well it is a year....GREAT!!!!...the more the merrier may even get enough for a "Scratchbuilders Album"
Feel like the Sorcerer ...and the appprentice --(DISNEY-Fantasia)-----but not able to tell which one is me :-) :-) :-) :-)
aye

Big ongoing projects are allowed, so what about my castle of Clervaux.
I hope it's not to big. And i certainly have the goal to finish it by Sept 2007,. I started basically last December with around
So i will sign up, if i find out how to do so!

I think for the steps already done i need to post only a few pics and links to the old threads, or how should it be done.
What about double (cross )- posting in the scratchbuilding and diorama forum. Isn't that a problem ?

See you

Cheers

Claude

I'm gonna have a shot at this as it will take me 6 months to save up for the materials.
I liked my 1/76 scale Churchill AVRE so much

i'm going to scratch build the gun and all of the bridge now i've got the scaled up plans from the old man (Barv) plus with my youngest is 1 on Saturday so not much time to model :-)

Heck a whole year, I guess I'll have to go all out . Since I pumped out M1117 in four months. Been thinking of a Croation M53/59 that might do it
