Animal Antics

[papa 695]

I'm going to do a Crocodile

[boatman]

As much as I would love to see this being built, as the proposed GB only lasts for SIX MONTHS, I fear you will be pressed for time. Maybe something not quite as big?

Sorry Ian I dint notice the bit about the time limit read the bit about the catch sayin its got to have something to do with animals an thought im doin a tiger an posted so no worries don't include me

Hi Steve/Si,
Great idea for a GB, but as I only build AFV's based around 6 chassis I'm afraid it will be something WW2 German more information at the start.
regards Jim

I've got a Mustang in the stash, so I'm in.

[Dave Ward]

I'm sure I've something in the stash that will fit the parameters - I'm in.

Excellent,
I believe we have reached enough participants to launch a flair, toot a whistle, roll up a trouser leg and declair the launch of the GB:smiling4:

Do we need approval now :thinking:

[Ian M]

Yes, anyone care to list the confirmed participants ?

[Jim F]

Hi Ian,
Here's the list so far ; Si Benson, Steve Jones, Ian (Papa 695), Allen Dewire, Mike C. , Mike Mortimore, Bob (Mr Bowcat), Durk , Paul (Bewolf) , Jim & Samson, Peter ( Stillip) , Dave Ward, Jim R.
I hope that helps Jim

I can see this one turning into a German Armour fest. LOL

Sorry Ian, but what can the Russian tank and armour brigade. Offer ? .
:disappointed: John .

Hi John,
How about the twin hatched turret T34 which was nicknamed a Mickey Mouse
regards Jim

I got a few kits which would fit the bill, but I'm back into gainful employment week after next (I gotta be a sucker for punishment going back to twelve-hour days after retiring last year!).

If my contract finishes before the start I'll have a go. Just a teeny question though. Could we use fictional creatures? I've got a Draaken A/C and a Centaur tank which I could include in my list of choices.

PS Herding cats must be easier than looking after us lot - so I won't even ask about including my Tamiya 1/35 Desert Rat figures!:tongue-out:

[rtfoe]

Count me in. I'm getting on with age too so I need a reminder as well near the date. I have a few in the stash to ponder either air or ground builds...they are definitely kits that I have not seen built here. Will decide later.

Cheers,
Richard

Well this took off very quickly. Well done to the proposer(s).
I have been sniffing around a bit and it is actually weird how many different things have been given animal names. Some more obscure than others. Some not so much.
This is one of those suggestions that has something for everyone. So far without really trying I have found; submarines, Boats, helicopters, aeroplanes, Trains, cars, lorries, tanks (duh) armoured cars, Which just about covers everything!
Not sure about the nick name bit though, Unless it was an official call name as used in the service. Like the Russian aircraft.
As there is such a long time before the kick-off for this one I will just let the thread run here for a while yet so others can still find it. But yes so far you have made the list.
I can make the forum for it but it will not be open until nearer the start date.
Those that have memory issues. You could always add it to your calendar in window. I have. lol

Hi Jim
Don't forget "likkle ole me" on your list. :smiling3:
By the look of the inmates this could be rather fun!
