I am following along here. Coleman Collector and I will be doing a figure painting duet (or whole orchestra if others are interested). I also have lots of Afrika Corp figures painted up, and two Taigen Pzkw. IV waiting for final DAK touches. Hmm...

Dealine is important. First, it forces you to get to work. Secondly, after the deadline, posts will be moved to the appropriate sections (Sherman, Tiger, etc.) and only "ghost links" will remain in the old Group section.

Then perhaps a more generous deadline.... I do agree with moving the completed builds to their appropriate Build Log.

I am ready to start a build thread once I know where to put it.

How about one year? Since "D-Day" and "Winter" are scheduled until the end of June, we can start the next Group Builds on July 1. With an end date of the end of June 2025. This way, we would start the next one exactly in the middle of each year.

I like that idea. And since some of the builds didn't finish in time for the D-Day deadline it would be more likely that a higher percentage would make the one year goal.

I'm about to become a new owner of a used Torro Jagdtiger. While it 's not a true build per se can I get in on the next group build?

Hell yeah. It'd fit perfectly into a Late war theme as has been tossed about.

Or even "1946" Paper Panzers ;)

There is always something to improve in these models. If you change enyting or even repaint it, it's build :)

Like Sturmtigers you can't have too many Jagdtigers :D . I've whittled it down to 3 camo schemes. Hopefully we don't both decide to go with the same one :lolno:
