      Nice one Andrew. Instead of a what if they had Callenger tanks in WW2, what about if the Balkans war had spread into Europe? The bits you have could fall into that era as well...

      Denmark was closed Thursday, Friday and Monday, so my parcel has still to arrive!!! Still got enough to do at the moment.
      Itchy trigger finger, Nah, Its just we have ten people that said that they will join in and no one had started a thread.

      A good assembly Guide to be found on Mini Arts web site.
      Tanks would be fine if they did not have so many wheels and tracks!

      You'll do fine andrew just think of it as it can fly but has fully retractable wings and everything will turn out dandy, but we are here if you hit a snag.

      Well said Scott. That is the very idea behind the group build; All build the same subject and help each other along the way if we hit a bump!

      And sorry Andrew, its ONLY six months.

      ok here is my first question...
      i am looking for some figures tank crew and soldiers,only really looked on e-bay yet but all i can seem to find are ww2,were do i start looking for more up to date 80's - 90's crews..some links will be great as i dont have a clue as to all these funky aftermarket manufacturers and such like.
      or do you guys buy ww2 figures and paint them in modern uniform colours?

      ian, thanks for your earlier comment, i am now steering towards bosnia ,just found a great picture of some bosnian graffiti on a farm wall just outside that town call something like strebonichkia,i know its spelt completley wrong but cant be bothered to look..going for me tea now ,i'm bloody starving and the missus has a big pan of scouse on the hob
