Poll: Head to Head Build; Modelperry vs KCStephens

[Wyvern]

Since I usually favor the underdog, I cast my vote for the Dragon Wagon. Just thinking of you two racing to build those Scud-hauler's tires is making me queasy.

You'd better build the launcher or else they won't be eligible for the "Wheeled Vehicle" special category at next year's convention!

And just for the fun of it when I received my copy, I counted all the parts and came up with approx 7146 parts :o

Once you start it, there is no way back :D

Seen the Scud and Sherman done! Now the Dragon Wagon, I ordered this one from Poland, the distributor lost the order and had to refund back to my Pay-Pal account after a period of time. So since I could not get one, @least maybe I can see one get built?Rick

[airdave]

it sounds more like "which model can we irritate them the most with" poll? LOL

I think the good ole Sherman is a nice choice...but maybe shake it up, with some some sort of added scratch mod for the Sherman to be included by the builder (they're choice)...like maybe a Mine clearer, or Mobile bridge or Rocket Launch carrier...there are many variants of the Sherman.

You know Kevin, Everybody voting SCUD says nothing or very little about the Maz launcher part (except for the tires). Since the SCUD is just the missile part, would we have to build the launcher part too?

You're right, Greg. I guess i should have thought a little more about this before opening up this great big can of worms. There is always the laser cut option for the wheels and formers.

Greg, This may be our saving grace... Rick used the word "influence" in his initial post. So, I guess ultimately the final choice is still up to us... Maybe we could quietly move on with the Sherman and nobody would be the wiser What do you think?

Well I did vote for the Sherman in the poll and gave my reasons why, so I'm good with bucking the trend.

I voted the Scud Launcher for a more personal reason - it's on my build list and I'd love to see a detailed English language build (or 2) for when I get around to mine

Since I was part of the gang that has been putting the pressure on Kevin to build the Dragon Wagon, I had to vote for it. But the idea was to put the Sherman that Kevin bought at last year's IPMC ON the Dragon Wagon -- so I guess you ought to get that Sherman finished first, Kevin.

However it turns out, I look forward to seeing the builds from these two superb model builders.
