I'm in with that Higgins Boat I picked up yesterday on sale, might also enter the LCM S&R conversion I'm working on if I finish it in time. Shall we say "Hit the beach.", gents? What say you?

I have found ships much more time consuming than armor. I then find aircraft more tie consuming than ships, but I am not going to start building those again.
The Gator theme should catch the eye of a few guys over on the Armor boards. Amtracs, LCACs, LVTs, LCMs, LCT,s, all sorts of fun things to build. Then add in there the amphibious tanks, TauchPanzers, and the new Bronco LWS.
Heck we can even pull some aviation guys in as well, Gruman Goose Amphids.
BTW, I am glad all of you like the banner and ribbon. Those were fun to make.

Bruce,
Did you manage to get the ribbon to upload yet? I'm having a heck of a time getting my ribbon to load for my "Keep on Truckin'" campaign over on MG. You're welcome to join, by the way!

Bruce,
I think it has to do with the name. I had trouble with mine working as well. If I recall the ,gif had to be changed to .GIF
You might need to have Gunny fix it over here and the campaign manager on the armor site fix that one.

If so, Mr. Adams, please send me the .img files and I will take care of the rest............
