So does anybody feel like doing a snow GB this christmas/December? I would love to do a tank or two. Not very what-if, but it would be fun. Winter Char B, Cromwell, Churchill, Crusader, Matilda or Stuart?
Stuarts are cool. I love them. I love their looks. Stuarts are cool. Thus anything cold is good for a cool tank. Possibly a Stuart fitted with a 75 mm...

How about a Stuart (M3A3 hull, preferably) with a Crusader III turret serving with XXX Corps or the 29th Armoured Brigade on the north side of the Bulge?  You could even do a diorama and have it guarding a bridge over the Meuse.

Cheers,

Logan

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

If you look through the thread you will see Cromwells and Churchills in winter camo.  My 2nd entry for this GB is planned to be either a Black Prince or A39 Tortoise in winter camo :)

Somewhat off-topic, but has anybody thought about adorning a Black Prince tank with the heraldic colours of the actual Black Prince?  :wacko: Or any tank in the heraldic colours of medieval knights?

Cheers,
Moritz

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Wrong GB Moritz! ;)  Funnily enough, I mentioned something similar in the Anachronistic GB:

Taking it back towards topic, I now have a desire to create a modern Battle of the Ice

Great minds think alike and all that, right?

Aeroscale are looking at having a Winter Wonderland campaign, perhaps skis only.  Lots of inspiration, and perhaps finding out that that ski-plane you were planning on building isn't a whiff after all.....

Definately inspiring, because the ski's on that P-38 look as if they could be retractable, which is what I've been thinking for a build of mine, if not for this GB.  Hmmm...

Just like Christmas Day, the start date for LISLISLIS draws closer all too slowly.  To pass the time, here is some more inspiration, all taken at Telford 2009

1)  This was absolutely superb, the picture doesn't show it, but it glistened with that wonderful look of a crisp hoar frost
4)  This was on the Tree-mendus stand, all built using their products.  I really wanted to get some, but had blown my budget on bits for Nimrods....

3)  How often do you see a Falklands diorama?
4)  And how brilliant is this.  I'm not sure why they're fighting chest deep in a frozen lake, but it sure looks great  :bow:
