Yeh i thought the map may have been a little higher up as well.
Just means a small change in plans with more digging around in my stash and goodies on the way will need to wait for a rainy day.

Question: Would i be allowed to use my Malayan thread/build in this group build?
www.kiwimodeller.com/index.php/forum/40-...ergency?limitstart=0

The only stuff done so far is a Ferret which was started ~last week... plus all the information gathering...
(a big NO reply would be fully understood )

Normally not, but as you have so much other stuff I'm happy to let it slide on this occasion
Just stop any work you're doing on it until the official start, then post pictures with the new build logo.
Talking of build logos, no Photoshopping the logo in to your builds this time lads you know who I'm talking about....... G2

I forgot to include the Korean conflict so I've updated the map to include Korea which happens to also bring mainland Japan in to scope. I've also come South a bit to include Darwin as this was a big area of concern for Australia during the war. This is the last change I'm really willing to make unless there is good cause (like missing Korea), if we increase the scope any further we might as well just slap a globe up and say build what you want.

Gary where/when will the logo be available to download please? Unless we be using the same one as the last build which I already have.

Does anyone have Bison Decals set 35035? Specifically the Sherman Tank Dozer - Peleliu part. I'd be chuffed if someone was willing to part with it.

Cheers
David

Dave (D1) and myself talked about this GB yesterday I have a pearl harbor Zero on the way and a number of Rabaul and Solomon's Zeros as well that would make great kiwi adversaries

I have seen a base I like for the pearl zero just need to try to find it seeing as The Base Guy that made them no longer sells them to shops so will keep looking.

How big a base, what wood and how much are you looking to spend? I have a fully operational Death Star workshop with all the usual stuff like, table saw, bench planer, biscuit joiner etc. I'm just getting back in to making proper wood bases and I'm making one at the moment for an Operation Chastice Dio I'm building on the side. I only use standard pine and Douglas pine as that's all I can get hold of cheap enough but would be happy to use other woods if I can source them.

I said I'd be flexible (especially if it's WWII) what did you have in mind Craig?

Yes Glen it's a lot of Jungle but theres a MASSIVE scope across at least 3 wars (WWII, Korea & Vietnam) plus all the other conflicts like Malaya (big NZ involvement unless I'm mistaken) there's also India in there, the island hopping, plus all the modern stuff.
Sorry it's not Europe folks but it's not possible to please everyone, I originally wanted to make it just WWII but Craig was keen to use some modern stuff and so was Andrew, there's always next Group Build.

Sounds like a plan Grant, you must be in IT or process management?
