**Official** junior modeller group build thread!

Posted by jadgpanther302 on Thursday, May 29, 2008 4:26 PM

Jmart suggested too me that for every junior modelor who compltetes a kit an adult donates a kit too you. Junior modellors, how does that sound.

All right this is for junior modellers who are under the age of eighteen as of May 29, 2008.

So for rules I think all models that.

kits that are under a 25% completion rate.

dios included.

The running time is 3 months.

May 29 to september first

you can do as many as you want so for now i need a badge, can anyone make one?

Please join

I'm leaning towards the truck since a stug is already in the works.

This sounds like a sweet GB! I'm 15, so sign me up. I'm about 85% done with my p-47, but when I'm done, I'm building a Hasegawa Willys jeep for a dio with the Jug and a AM Avenger. Put me down for the Avenger and the jeep if you want.

If I choose the Dragon 1/35 Hohenstaufen division soldiers, which is about 10% in the build, is it ok if I miss one figure? If that's ok, I'm certainly in..

Bumps?! Bumps?! of course we need bumps. I'm changing too (sorry, sorry) i picked up Tamiya's M5A1 this morning, and decided it would be the perfect kit to do extensive scratch building on, including (but not limited to) removed fenders, field applied turret basket, and partial interior. Sorry for the last minute change, but i think this is gonna be one kick butt stuart.

Well I've been going crazy the last couple days trying to think of a badge idea but alas, I've came up with nothing. I just can't seem to think of something that says "Junior Modelers", you know? If anybody's got any ideas that would be great!

On a side note, I'll be building Tamiya's Challenger 1 Mk.3 (in 1/35 scale).

This is the closest I've came, but I still don't get the whole "junior Modeler" feel from it. Opinions?
