Guest snipersmudge Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) Hi all whilst perusing the armour sections I've noticed that people would like another armour group build, a modern one. so i propose that the build would include all vehicles from after WW2 to the present day encompassing all conflicts. I'd be happy to run it with another person as mod. what are your thoughts?cheers Pete Edited June 26, 2008 by snipersmudge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nev Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hi all whilst perusing the armour sections I've noticed that people would like another armour group build, a modern one. so i propose that the build would include all vehicles from after WW2 to the present day encompassing all conflicts. I'd be happy to run it with another person as mod. what are your thoughts?cheersPete Just to say that there was already a Cold War Armour GB http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showforum=108 so I would suggest (and I think this was the idea when the Modern Armour GB idea was first mooted) that it should be '91 onwards.

Guest snipersmudge Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) yes cheers Nev i forgot about the cold war group build, how about that then folks? armour from 1991 onwards? your thoughts please also how about a four month timeframe say from august to december this year pete Edited June 26, 2008 by snipersmudge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdo Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Are there many Brit kits that deal with that period without going into resin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I'd prefer the original suggestion of any nation, any period since 1945. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antoine Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 A great idea, but as I've never managed to finish a GB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadCop Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I'd say stick with the earlier broader idea of Post War to Today. Even though it is covering the same ground as the Cold War GB, it gives participants a lot more options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobs_Buckles Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Why not include all armour from WW1 up? Cheers, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snipersmudge Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 yep on reflection limiting it to 1991 onwards is kind of limiting peoples options. i prefer the post 1945 onwards option as the chose is far greater and more interesting, e.g centurions, chieftains etc. also this has a greater time frame with multiple conflicts so we will say to hell with it and go with post 45 onwards chaps cheers pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Good choice Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz greenwood Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) I've got a few from 1945 onwards such as an M48, Leo 1A5,2A4 and 2A6, a Merkava and from the Soviet side IS-3 and IS-3M. And M2/M3 Bradley's. Edited June 27, 2008 by daz greenwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest snipersmudge Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 great! as i said there is plenty of choice, i for one have a few ideas for at least a couple of builds. i don't know how soon everyone would like to start but i think the middle of July sounds good with the build ending at the end of december?. as for rules i would say any scale model operational or experimental vehicles and the kits must be unstarted. out of the box or detailed if you wish and also on a diorama or base if you wish with figures as well. I'm hoping to get some prizes sorted and organise a poll for the winners at the end of the build. cheers pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 When we say armour will that be just heavy armour (like the tank), or any armour? Could this group build also include the likes of M113s, LAV IIIs etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
