                        group build for the nam era U.S. Navy swift patrol boat
                        Posted by jinithith2 on Monday, April 18, 2005 3:28 PM
                        hello,
                        I just wrecked my swift patrol boat really bad so I had to order replacement parts. don't worry I'm back to 0% done and this is my first group build.

                        since there is only one kit out of the SPB, I'd like to share the pain and agony with other people!Evil [}:)]
                        the rules,
                        it can already be started, but not like 80% done.
                        anybody allowed
                        posting pics not required
                        must share problems (that one is sorta wierd)

                        date: April 18 to whenever!

                        com'mon people, let me see some spirit!

                        GB badge:

                        sorry.. the group build badge is cheesy and corny

                        maybe you should try to widen out the dates? most people are busy with other GB's right now... if you allow more time maybe it will attract more customers?

                        ---edit---

                        also it took me about a week to get more than 4 people into tje Midway GB... you just have to have patience...

                        which kit do you mean? The only one I know of is the Revell 1/48?

                        so the smilies are manual.
                        a lot of putty and emery boards went into the misfits.

                        and since you said that you don't know how to put badges in the sig box, do you wanna know?

                        ok.
                        right click on the GB badge, go to properties, highlight, copy and paste the pic url to your sig box in the update profile section.
                        you can also do it in your bio section like me.

                        this GB is open until whenever, so iron, brigade, join us anytime!

                        have you tried to put the url between ""?
                        that might work

                        I use the bottle kind, but for gap filling, I use the tube, as my putty doesn't have that good of a filling characteristic
