Global Scale Modeller

Hi, my name is Javier, I'm from Spain, and I'm new to the forum as well as to the hobby. Probably is because i didn't looked for it too much, but i've seen few Modern Armour Group Builds in the site and I think it would be nice to have one.

I just want to show the M1A1 that I'm gonna build, haha

I also don't know how to enter group builds or even if I can, because my country hasn't been in a war since a while.

This is the kit that I want to build:


I know it isn't the best model out there, but I don't wanna spend 60€ on the Tamiya one, mainly because I'm unexperienced and I don't wanna ruin it like I did with my Leopard 2E (Spanish variant for the Leopard 2 A6 I think...). I'll instead spend 32€ on this, wich in my opinion has great detail (I've seen a couple of reviews) for the money it costs.

I also want to point out that I started this hobby not because I have a military past, or background, I'm not even 18 haha (this February the 21th I'll be 18), I just started it because it's fun.

Hi Javier, welcome to ISM!

You've got my yes vote for a GB. Although the ISM GBs for 2014 have already been chosen, if you get enough interest and speak nicely to Lee and Paul, you could maybe set your own up on here.

Great looking kit btw

and me got an m1a2 to build

Sounds interesting.

Moved to correct forum for you.

I'm in on this as well if it gets off the ground. I mean who doesn't need an M1A1 in their life?

I'm in for an Abrahms tank as well.

Hey dude, I'd join in with this. However, the first reply to your thread is saying it's from me, (on my screen anyway). It's not, I don't know how that's happened!?

I'd like to see this happen. There are many modern armor kits I want to build like Meng's Bradley and T-90.

What do you mean with modern armor?
would a T-62 or Leo1 also included?

I suppose that would be down to the GB mods to arrange. Personally, I class anything post 1945 as modern armour.

I think this would be a fun build maby 2015

I would like to do a modern armor GB!
Though I would need a model first...

Please count me in even though I am about 20% complete through a Challenger 1 Mk3 build which has been at this stage of completion since early 2013.

sooo.... as there is a Modern Armour GB scheduled for this year now... is this side- SIG now obsolete?

Can I join to GB with 1:72 revell abrams?

I do not have to decide but I would say yes.
It is armored...
It was introduced after 1975...
And as far as I can remember, there is no size restriction

Can I join this build? I plan on making a diorama though.
