May I make a suggestion about the OOB category? Could it include things like home made bed rolls, tarps, boxes, things like that? I would even like to include plastic after market things like the Tamiya or Academy accessory kits since they cost relatively little and add so much. This would still include people on a budget and not force them to make strickly OOB.

As far as the campaign itself count me in, depending on start and end dates. If the propossed end date of Feb 1 then I'm fine with it. Hopfully I can post my pics right after watching the Broncos win the Super Bowl.

Keep me on the list of participants for this.

Do we have to have a subject decided when the campaign kicks off or can we develop it and disclose it to the community after the start date? The reason I ask: I'm torn between 1/35th and 1/72nd.

Tanks a million.

Count me in also- either a Tiger I early (never built a Tiger yet- looking forward to it)
or aircraft of some sort- Were Stukas used in North Africa? -the tank-busting version?

:-) Had a thought, would the Malta air battles be included in this? I would love to do Screwball Buerlings Spitfire Mk V :-)
Remember; you can't have to many Spitfires :-)
