Ahoy Mates!

Here's a very unique opportunity for a cross genre campaign (one of my favorites!), a new campaign proposal by fightnjoe, Joe McCaslin, "Pearl Harbor, 2008".

The campaign is being hosted at Aeroscale, and if you're interested in more info or would like to enlist, just follow the link here to the campaign HQ page.

I like campaigns that can incorporate the satellite sites of KitMaker, as it gives all of our members the chance to meet, make new friends, and build models together! Take a look!!

Pearl Harbor 2008

Keep Modeling,
Gunny

gunny thankyou for your support on this one.


this one is dear and near to my heart. for those who know me on other sites you know this build. this incorporates all aspects of model building all genre are involved. (yes even armor) it is my wish that this build takes in all subjects.


kenny thankyou for your list. i appreciate all the help on this one.



joe

hmmmm....Yes!!

My pleasure, Joe!


A short while back, we had Beebe's Flattops Campaign here at MSW, very successful, with a few of our Aeroscale mates joining in on the build...was a great time had, for sure, and alot of fine models built, and the added flare from the flyboys just made things complete!

Good luck with your campaign, Joe!
Cheers,
~Gunny

I'm signed on....I'll be building BB-39 1/350

the arizona is a fantastic subject. i tried my hand at it not long ago, not happy with my effort but i remember why i build these.

one correction to the list. the enterprise is the only carrier ok'd. its planes were inbound to ford island durring and immediately after the attack.


again thanks for taking a look at this.



joe

Joe, I have some stuff (well LOTS) to finish first but I can do the zero on the a/c side and one of the 1:700 waterline series of a japanese ship, have to see whats around...look forward to the build on both sides! Cheers, Jim

Fixed.
Gator

I had seen this one over there the other day and thougth about adding my hat to the ring. I am going to be busy with a couple of ther campaings so I just don't know if I can work taht one in.

I will keep it in mind.

again thankyou for looking at this.

i have met a few survivors from this attack and i made them a promise. they will never be forgotten. this is my motivation for this build.


thankyou all for considering this build. thankyou to those who have joined.




joe

this campaign is officially a go.


joe

Ahoy, Joe!


That's great news, mate!
Good luck with your campaign, I'm looking forward to following along with all of the builds...
Cheers,
~Gunny
