2017 Light Tank Mini Group Build

Post by Philipp Gross »

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 8-)

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

OOTB....but I have so many turned barrels.... :? :lol:

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 :P

(I'm writing this down mostly so that I don't forget about it :oops: :lol: )

Looks like it might be a runner :shock:

Does 3 builds make a GB :?:

The majority of my little ones are Pz I's 8-)

Though I do have a small stash of Pz II's of the Tamiya variety too ;)

Speed or detail, which should I choose :lol:

Maybe. But only if we get a really good logo.

Two month build time is reasonable, maybe between our two annual builds. I like the idea of OOB as well.

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.

I'd say we kick out the OOTB? I mean I suggested it, so I hereby remove my suggestion :lol: .

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 ;) .
