I have not been alerted about this campaign's approval, and have set up no campaign apparatus. Perhaps someone can give me some input on where this proposal stands? I thought it was only being discussed.

Sorry, all, my mistake. I did not realize my view to campaigns was not the same as everyone else's who's not Kitmaker staff.

Bill, I count at least 10 people who have expressed an interest in this campaign.

What's the proposed start/finish dates?

Belay that, I see the thread says one year from August 2015-2016. Is this the time period agreed to?

BTW, the campaign is now "live" and members can enlist.

Hi guys,

Just signed up; most probably will be doing Aoshima's Katori (not the new molds, the old and horrible kit lol).

Cheers

Just enlisted, and I thought I finished with that when I retired out of the Army.

Some interesting entries so far

If I finish the King in time, Si, would the paused Prinz qualify?

I am in with I know not what but there is time to resolve that though I am tempted by this concept:
"Scales - 1:6 to Other"
The thought of building a cruiser in 1:6 scale leads me to believe I may need to knock out walls at both ends of the house and the timeframe maybe ambitious but it could be a true group build. We could all contribute sections!

cheers

Hi Russ,

Yes it would, stared builds permitted, would be great to have the Prinz along.

Hi Michael,

Wouldn't want to stop people from being ambitious

Getting enough battle Barbies to crew it could get expensive. But it sure would look cool.

Waterline or full hull?

Full Hull surely, could use it as a motor yacht on it's day off.

Hey all,

Here is my submission for this campaign.

The Light Cruiser IJN Noshiro.



Still have some AM to get for her but once the dry dock is clear of the IJN Maya this beauty is moving in.

Greetings everyone.

I am in! I have model cruisers up the wazoo and one would be a nice break after I finish the Akagi.. PE work is sending me cross eyed I think!

Cheers

Great to Have you along Warren,

Good luck with the Akagi, I have seen a couple of builds on that baby and am really fancying a go at it.

Shhh Russ, keep it down mate

Mrs Duster doesn't know about the 1/6th scale Scharnhorst plans, she thinks I am building the Dragon Kit, and all the talk of extending the garage for a new utility room
