I was curious to see if anyone would be interested in a WIF armor build :tank:

I'll build anything !

No, I mean I'll drink anything, then I'll build anything. Yeah, that's it !

Sounds good to me. I've more than a few tanks half started, and a few ideas for more.

:cheers:

Yeah, once I figure out how to actually put my tracks on without busting every axle-thing for the wheels, I'll be IN.

Of course, there is nothing to stop you building armour for current GBs - all 3 allow for non-flying entries. I entered a tank in last years Airfix GB and One Week GB and I will probly enter another in the 2007 One Week GB (although Geoff says entering a one-piece 1/76 resin kit is cheating :P )

Having said that, I did propose a "whaddya mean it doesn't fly??" GB a few years back. And more armour is getting more popular on the forum. Which is the roundabout way of saying this particular admin supports the idea ;)

Wasn't there a "Racing Tanks" GB a few years back?

Yes, but it never really got going. We were very small back then and didn't have the mass to sustain more than one GB.

I'd be interested...

Maybe a pimp-a-tank GB? You know, Merkava with chromed roadwheels, lowered suspension, black with flame drawn on the front glacis plate?

Yes, I am working in several tank projects, from serious :unsure: whiffery to really mad.

I want a GB :wub:

Now that I have some armor (more than one kit) in the stash, I'm game.

Great to see interest I like an anything goes I'll wait for a bit to see if there's any more interest before asking the mod's for an official thread What's a good time frame?

I got a Tamiya Marder APC - a 's*xy' looking machine IMHO - that's been earmarked for 'something' for a long time. Still got lots and lots of decals left-over from all the 1:24/25 American cars I've built (and still build from time to time). Hmmmmm,

Oh, I don't know...

Phoenix GB
Secret Santa 2
Falklands GB

I can't imagine why anyone would want any extra time. ;)

too many GBs in the pipeline as it is. 2 - 3 max - is as many GBs as the forum can sustain. Otherwise the intrest and participation gets spread too thin and the GB withers through lack of intrest.

What if
