2017 Light Tank Mini Group Build
Popular demand calls for another Mini GB. I think last year's 1970's experiment was fairly successful, so I guess we could do something similar again.
Here's my suggestion: Any light tank, any nation, any scale, any era. To keep things appealing to larger audiences, I'd suggest to include related vehicles, meaning both vehicles on a light tank chassis and other armoured vehicles like light tank destroyers, amphibious and airborne AFVs and the like, with the focus on being light and small.
I suggest a two month timeframe, either inbetween our two regular GBs or sooner. Any other suggestions are more than welcome, so let's hear them

Re: 2017 Light Tank Mini Group Build
I second the notion! - I somehow have gathered a ton of these little buggers over the years!
Maybe obligatorily ootb? This was a nice change of pace with the 70s build...

Re: 2017 Light Tank Mini Group Build
OOTB....but I have so many turned barrels....
Oh well, concerning potential build candidates, it might be AFV Club's M24, Meng's FT-17 or Miniart's T-70, but the latter only if I may add a new gun barrel I already have
(I'm writing this down mostly so that I don't forget about it )

Looks like it might be a runner
Does 3 builds make a GB
The majority of my little ones are Pz I's
Though I do have a small stash of Pz II's of the Tamiya variety too
Speed or detail, which should I choose

Re: 2017 Light Tank Mini Group Build
Two month build time is reasonable, maybe between our two annual builds. I like the idea of OOB as well.

Re: 2017 Light Tank Mini Group Build
Sounds interesting if, we don't limit it to a OOTB build and we allow it to run for 3 months.
As far as a start date, start now and run it for 3 months. It sounds like most people who are interested already have the kit they want to build.
Just my 2 cents.

Re: 2017 Light Tank Mini Group Build
I'd say we kick out the OOTB? I mean I suggested it, so I hereby remove my suggestion .
After all I'm still free to do it and Philipp can use his beloved barrels .
I'd say let's do it? Mid February to mid May?
I'd say go with the I Steve, they are such nice little weirdos and you'll still have enough of the around after burning a single one here .
Best regards
