Sci-Fi and Alternative History Campaign IX

Group Build Title: Sci-Fi and Alternative history campaign IX

Group Build Description: This campaign covers everything that is in the Sci-Fi universe or the alternative history.

This could be anything from Star Wars, Star Trek, or any other Sci-Fi franchise.

Alternative history subjects are also included. So all your “what-if” ideas belong here as well. For example panzer 1946 or luftwaffe 1946 ideas. All alternative history for all historical periods are included.

Any scale or medium is allowed.

Remember to post a starting picture.

Kits cannot be more than 25% finished unless they are unfinished projects from the previous 8 versions of this campaign.

A Note about Awards: The following text is a reminder that in order for people participating and finishing their projects to receive a badge on their forum profile, they will need to provide their account username to the group build leader by the completion date of the build. The leader will then provide this list to the site admin who will bulk award the badges to those users who have finished the group build. If you don’t provide your username or finish the project on the timetable the leader has setup you will not be able to receive an award.

I am not sure, but I think I started with these during one of the earlier sci-fi-campaigns?
Do you remember seeing those, Jesper?

They are primed in black now…

Hi Jesper, glad to see the “part-bakes from previous versions” rule catching on!

You need to edit your post, click on the Settings gear at top right, and create an event to get the “Going” buttons added. (Be sure it is on a fresh line, as it tries to attach the code to the last paragraph which makes it appear as text rather than buttons - I find I need to insert a carriage return in front of the code after it is created.) Seems odd to have to do the event creation twice, in different tools, but that’s just the way it is…

@RonW, I think I recall the walker some campaigns back, but not sure. In any case they are approved for your build for 2023 if you want to. :raised_hands:t2: :slight_smile:

@barkingdigger, thanks for the tip! I could not make it work despite following the online manual, but now it works! Thanks :slight_smile:

Count me in, I haven’t participated in such an event before. I will have some extra time recovering from my hip op, end of this month. I have some kits crying out to be built.

Welcome onboard, Gavin. :slight_smile: Hope the hip works out great!

Any thoughts on what kit(s) to build?

I’m definitely building a Robotech “Macross” kit, just which one is the debate.

Count me in.
I’m signed up to do the Defiant in the other SF campaign, so I’ll get that Kazon Raider finished up here.

Would TRex’s vs Shermans work for the campaign? Alternate Pacific War diorama.

I was thinking of using this dino…but am not sure of the scale of the tank…I am leaning toward 1/48,
image

so the dino will be much bigger than the tanks, and using

for some infantry support.
I would like to use Marines, and I realize that they infantry would be wearing European theater uniforms…I cannot find any others, plus after all they are fighting T-Rex’s, so does not have to be 100% accurate…lol.
I have never worked in a scale smaller than 1/35…hope I can see the parts.

You have to use TRex track for the Sherman. :smiling_imp:

I think I changed my mind and will use this one, and stage it in the Philippines with the famous Classy Peg. Does anyone know if it also comes with plastic light guards in addition to the PE? I am not crazy about PE in 1/35, let alone 1/48.

Will gundam haro kit count? Part of the gundam universe. Got one in the stash i need to clear out.

PE only, no plastic option that I could see in the kit.

TRex makes a 3D printed set to replace all the pe parts.

That would an awesome mix of kits. I think it is no problem to mix 1/48 and 1/35 Dinosaur. It would just be a really big dinosaur :smiling_imp:
