Funny you should mention that...after I finish my two current trucks, I was tinkering with the idea of a fire truck.

....so, yeah, I'd be game......

Definitely, certainly and totally count me in. I have a bunch of unbuilt police cars in my stash, just begging to be built. This would be as good a motivator as any.

The only trouble would be choosing which one(s) to build!

I might be interested. Kind of depends on the dates. Never built a fire truck before. Been kind of looking for an excuse to buy the AMT ALF Pumper.

Matt,
I won't commit myself just yet, but you can tentatively put me down for it.
Any possible start - finish dates proposed ?.

Well, if there's not enough interest to get a full-fledged campaign off the ground, maybe we could just do a small group build?

looks like we have enough for a small group build. We think 9 months would be enough? Say start Octover 1st.... and maybe End The end of June '09?

The timeframe sounds good to me.

So, Matt...is this going to be a group build within AutoModeler, or an official "campaign" with Kitmaker? Just curious.

Bob,
Nah - the boat is one of those "in-between other stuff" projects. Probably be another 6-9 months before it hits the water finished .
Just been trolling thru my ref material to find some 'weird and wonderful' victim for this build, narrowed it down to about 30 possibilies . .

Seems we only have 7 so it looks like it's a group build.
