With the Armorama 500 winding down and a moritorium on new campaigns until 2006, I was thinking about a next GB/Campaign. I was thinking Convertibles/Cabriolets. Since they are used mostly in warmer months, how about starting in the Spring of 2006 and running through till the Fall. (I know its reversed in the Southern Hemisphere, but I'm in the Northern :-) :-) )

Thoughts?

Sounds like a plan

You can make it into a full fledged campaign if you want to.

And if it's to take place in 2006, that should be no problem.

That may be too narrow a focus. Since the past one was for racing cars, how about making the next one for road/street cars. In other words, cars you'd see driving on the roads any day of the week. It could obviously include convertibles.

It would be nice campaign Sabot! Too bad there are no kits of my fav. popular street cars: the W123 and W124 series Mercedes'.
The original Convertible Campaign idea appeals to me as well, and I would gladly participate in that! Just Imagine those chopping conversions that could take place during such campaign :-)

Cheers

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Sounds like a good idea. I've never joined any group builds or campaings and I'd like this to be my first one. When will you make the final decision so I know what kit to order, as I rely totally on internet shopping. It;ll also be my first car kit, so that'll be interesting.

I'll be looking forward to this.
