Welcome to the 2009 Junior GB!
Currently, I am hammering out some rules to go by, but here's what I have so far:
1. Dates will be: May 20th to October 1st, so we will have all summer to build! (Note: All members MUST sign up by June 6th! At D-Day, we must know how many kits we will need.)
2. All entrants must be under 18, however if your 18th birthday is in the middle of the build, or was shortly before the build began, don't sweat it.
3. One build per person to start (Which is the one being entered into the mini-contest), and if they have time, they can do a second/third whatever.
4. There will be a mini-contest at the end, popular vote for best model. If so, there will be an extra prize at the end for him donated by Jim!
5. We are considering giving a kit to those who finish their first build on time. So far, Soulcrusher has offered to donate some WWII aircraft. A toast to him!
6. Badges, should it be like last year's, or will a new design be in order? Temporary ones I'll have until you finish the build.
This is really gonna be fun! Please, sign up on the thread or PM me if you have questions!

We had one last year around the beginning of the summer and at the end we thought we might do another one this year so this could be the 2009 one.
I still have my bage from last years in my sig line and a few others do to.
I would defanitly join again.
BUMP.
Come on will anyone else join?!?!
I'm here I was here last year too, and my badge is still visible.. I just got done with 2 others (including one I hosted) but haven't had time to get them in my signature...
This will also be my last.. Bleh! I'm turning 18 next year.. I hate that.. I can atleast take the carlicense then.. 18 year limit in Norway
One thing Boba Fett, last year it was planned that other members gave a free kit to those who finished.. But this never got around.. You may want to go on the different forums and ask for volunteer givers?
-Lasse
Yaaay! we've got Huxy.
Boba.... Mabye we should PM the guys who where in the GB last year and see if any of them would join this year??
Heres a link to last years build. http://cs.finescale.com/forums/953678/ShowPost.aspx
Also model maniac 96 is 12 so he can enter.
Ok I've PM'ed allmost everyone from last years build I only need to send a couple more.
For this years build I'll be building a Tamiya 1/35 Churchill crocidile.
Ahhh...! The Churchill Crocodille.. Built that a long, long, long time ago! Goes togheter well (as I remember).. It was back in the days when I just used a kitchenknife, glue and had just started "painting" (If that is what you can call it )
What I'll build, I have to find out.. Give me some time...
And glad to have you here, Jim!
One idea for the roster.. Set everyone's age aswell there? Would be rather nice to instantly see the members' age?
And Boba, ask around for that free gift idea.. From what I understand, there were many interested last year, but it just never happened....
Cool idea for a project stick man! and thank you Huxy. And the age idea is good to, it would be cool to know each others ages!
Jim
Bump!

Me: 15
Will update pg. 1
Let's go people! If you;re a junior, please, consider this build!

I'm 14.
When is the start date for the build?
new1 wrote:is it under 18 only, or 18 and under? cause i just turned 18 in april
Why not? It's technically under 18, but since your birthdate was so close to the date... You're in, New 1!!!
Jim, thanks. PM returned
Stick: gotcha
EDIT I want to start this mid May, say the 20th.
Boba you mabye should start threads in the other forums like armour and aircraft so that we can see if we've missed any other people who might be able to join.
The 20th sounds good to me for a start date.
What kits are the rest of you guys building??
I'm realy exited to start my build so hopefully I'll be able to finish some of my other builds first.
