Charlie Don't Surf Redux

[moon puppy]

First I'd like to thank Vladi for sponsoring this build. I don't envy your hard decision as there are many great models to chose from.

This was a very inspiring group build/campaign, especially since I had taken such a long break from modeling prior to this build. Since I pretty much model only Vietnam era subjects, this was a great re-entry into the hobby. There were a lot of really good models that were a part of all of this. I really enjoyed being able to see many of these projects in progress. This allowed me to learn some new modeling techniques while at the same time having fun working on my figures. Although I only completed two single figure displays, at least I was able to start on two more dioramas. If it weren't for some military matters such as my upcoming Afghanistan deployment taking away much of my modeling time once I started to really get into it, I may have been able to submit more to this build.

I look forward to similar builds in the future.

I think everyone who participated did an outstanding job and I hope alot of fun was had by all.

Cheers,
James O'Leary

I"m going to bypass protocol and go ahead and schedule our Charlie Don't Surf Redux for a January start.

James O'Leary has been draf...volunteered to be our Campaign Advisor for this and we want to make sure we have time before he's deployed next year.

So who else is in for Charlie Don't Surf Redux?

I'm in with F4C Wild Weasel!

[Sharkmouth]

I will continue with my Gun Truck even though I can't join this time.

You know, is a Redux, why can't we let anyone who didn't finish the first one continue on?

 

[MrT]

You make the rules and we will play the game.

:v

 

[Arturius]

HUEY in the way boy!!! I think 2 models will be!!! :woohoo:

Well, I could be convinced to join this one since I missed out on the last one. Put me down tentatively for a NVA T-34.

I'm missing something- by the name I'm guessing this has to do with any vehicle in Apocalypse Now?

Because the name 'Charley don't surf' just seems to specific for general Vietnam equipment.

 

[MrT]

Nope just a line from the movie. Any Vietnam war subject is allowed. Even French involvment in the 50's.

B)

any subject, vehicle or figure(s)? Thats 3 decades of gear.

I could say, you're a little anxious for this one...

I guess there's a certain somebody who wants me in on this one, he's a fiend! :evil:

I look forward to this "Redux". Hopefully between training events I can get a few figures or even a diorama completed for this.
This will be a good opportunity for those who were not able to complete projects for the first build to be able to finish them.

With some of the new kits that will be released over the next year, there will be plenty of new stuff to choose from.

I look forward to being a part of this build.

Cheers,
James
