Gentlemen-
How about a 6-month campaign for vessels of any era in any scale that uses/used the torpedo identifiably as its PRIMARY WEAPON? This could be MTB, TBD, every type of non-ballistic submarine or torpedo cruiser.
Cheers,
Guido

Guido,

Sounds like an interesting idea. I was looking through the latest Model Art last night thinking about a Sub Campaign, but this one seems like a better idea.

So, mark me down as well.

Mr. Hopp,
You've seemed to create a bit of interest with this idea, mate!

I'm all for it, you'll have my support for sure....and you're already near the magic "10" number of interested parties at an early time!

I think that you should right up a submittal and get her on the proposal books, my friend, so that the guys can enlist now!

That's a delightful idea, the topic covers surface and submersible craft equally well! I'm on board.

Gentlemen!
Thank you for your support! I have submitted the campaign porposal and will put my head to designing a ribbon. The list shall be open soon! I have widened the idea just a tad bit to see, if can lure some plane or figure modellers onto the dark side!
See you in the lists!
Cheers,
Guido

OK this will be the ribbon:

No, actually THIS will be your ribbon:



Wow! There's 2 hours of work and you don't get to see anything of it!

Anyway: How do I get it onto the Campaign page? Help!

GREAT work, Guido!

E-mail me the ribbon image and your banner image, my friend, and I'll set it up into the campaign page...

I'll jump in too, when it's up. I've got a Revell S-100 and a Revell PT 109 waiting for a good excuse to build.

Gentlemen-
I am glad seeing you jump into action right on. As we speak we have 9 enlisted men already, and it seems the issue is appeaing even to the flyboys! Welcome to our campaign!

I haven't made up my mind yet, but there's a bag full of stuff waiting for such a campaign.
Thank you for your support!

Guido

This Campaign is a go!!!
And I too welcome our mates from Aeroscale joining in (I LOVE cross genre campaigns!) to the fun, our two modeling interests (wingnuts and salts) have very much in common in the big picture!!

I'm locking this "Proposed" thread, and will be starting an official "Approved" thread directly so we can talk about our campaign plans!!

Cheers,
~Gunny
