discussion The "summer" GB Modern Armour.

[Ian M]

Well I got this posted up in plenty of time so you can all work out what to build and how to fit it in with all the other summer activities.

I actually have a couple of victims for this one so I will be joining in.

So you can start a thread. You can post the sprue and box shots but remember no building until the First of July.

Ian, just so I'm up with this, can you define 'Modern' please? i.e., from **** up to present day.

Then I can start the hunt for something!

Thanks,

Ron

Could I be as adventurous enough to say something in your life time. problem is you'll build some thing from WWI. :laughing:

I believe that the original concept was AFTER WWII, 'till today. Leave a lot of scope, so the more modern the better I s'pose

after ww2 then...... loads of scope.

I'm in on this one , trip to model shop then and have a look see

Got a few kits that could apply here.

I think I'll have a look and see which one I want to do for this build.

I'm assuming "Armour" can be defined as "any armoured vehicle" and not just "tank."

Well once I finish the Falklands Scorpion, I'm supposed to be building a Sherman Calliope for another GB, then I need to build my Stingray for the IPMS Farnborough September competition and now I should do either my Up armoured Op Herrick Scimitar or the resin Samson or the CrARRV conversion I have sitting in the stash...

 

[Ian M]

Armoured car, armoured car armoured bus if you like Drew.

Ole, why just watch?

Andrew. My vote goes for the Samson!

Hi men, I found a warrior up the attic last weekend god knows how long it was up there going to build it for the GB,found a good site for pics Warrior MICV Walk Around Page 1

Right chaps its the first of the month and I am surprised, no shocked, that there has not been more activity the way you where all champing at the bit. My excuse? Ermm. Oh The sun came out. Something that has not happened to much so far this summer, so I was in the garden with the lawn mower. lol

[Guest]

Well I'm still struggling to decide which to build... Aghan Bar-armour'd Scimitar, CrARRV or Samson...

I've got mine out of the box and have tidied up some sprue remnants on the hull and wheel parts. nothing exciting enough to post about though.

might have something together tomorrow. I'm just finishing off the ROK K9 at the mo

 

[Ian M]

Andrew, you do have a problem don't you! My vote would be the CrARRV.

Ian M (most uncharacteristicly watching the football).

 

[Centurion3RTR]

I have an excuse (honest), was at a car show today looking for 1/1 scale parts (and found some too). But the Warrior is out of the box and had a good looking at.

Have fun, John
