Oh hold on a sec, I just read the rules, and it said just artillery, so no whirlbwind

but I guess that could be considered artillery because its FLAK,, but oh well

The contest subject is ARTILLERY. Any flavor you wish including: coastal, anti-aircraft, heavy, anti-tank, rockets ect.

Prize is a $300.00 Admiral Toys gift certificate + $100.00 Olive Garden or Red Lobster gift certificate ( your choice).

I am the only judge in this contest.

Scale is 1/18th scale only.

Be original!

I will judge on the basis of difficulty of piece attempted, attention to detail, historical accuracy, quality of construction.

As usual, have fun, and show us those mad skills of yours.

Those guys say they are from the UK, but I think they are from another planet.

MIGMADMAVIS,

You are allowed to enter any self propelled artillery you wish including anti-aircraft. In fact, I double dog dare you to make one.

Would a M3 Grant be in the running? Or is that more hard line armor and not so much Arty?

I would have to say the the Grant was intended to be used as a tank pickelhaube although a lot of tanks did serve in the mobile artillery roll.

Hmm... I have an idea of something I could enter, but it might not be fair

Would a "restoration" enable what I've got to be entered into the contest?

When is this supposed to be over, BTW?

T-Man,

You can pm me to ask any questions about a project to keep it secret.
The contest ends July 1.

My progress on this contest as it stands! My time line has slipped a little on my 1st entry for the contest but I think I will be able to make up some time in the next week. Constructions and corrections are going along well. I would say that I am 1/2 done on the construct part but the next 1/2 phase will be the most difficult/detailed. I have some moving parts that need to be re-engineered and I am try to tackle them mechanically even though I have not used my engineering degree in years!
I would really like to start on the 2nd entry by the end of April but time and home life is the x factor.

Does anybody know were I can get the Monogram book #4 on the V weapons? I have been told that they have the best scale drawings of the V-1. This is as far as I have gotten on my project Kamikaze.

Finally started building (hoorah). Chassis nearing completion. Axles, engine and drive trains starting in a few days.

I dont have a digital camera and I have no idea what I can do on my tight buget. any ways I was going to do a Dargon anti tank team, like the one I was in, when I was in the Infantry many moons ago.

Is there none around you could borrow for half an hour? Even If someone else took photos for you?

nope

I guess I could send it to some one here on the fourm to take the pics, but I still need at least 12 modren (green or old nato Camouflage) us infantry guys with large ruck sacks, and some supiles.
does any one know where I can find those?

KAMIKAZE · Post by **KAMIKAZE** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 6:07 am

Yikes! I have almost no modern figures
VMF115 or I could hook you up with some. As far as pictures there have been members that assisted contest participants in the past with the photos.

You might also try one of the disposable cameras. Take all the photos, turn the camera in and select the CD option instead of prints.

Jay · Post by **Jay** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 9:56 pm

How many guys are still in this thing, hands up.
