Group Build Badges?
Posted by beav on Wednesday, March 31, 2004 8:05 PM
Ok, ok, stupid question, but nearly everyone has one, like for instance the tread mark with a propeller, or an A10, with a destroyed tank-or I just saw the "2004" with tread, and some of the others-what are they for??
If I apply-well, just say what you have to do to "earn" one. lol
please help...lol

Well a group build badge is just a token that one has been involved or has successfully participated in a particular group build. Like when we were boy scouts, we earn badges for certain accomplishments. There is no rule about the group build badges and wearing them is up to the group build member. I would assume however, that it is only proper that only members of the group build are entitled to wear its badge.

So far there are two group build badges, the Sherman Family Group Build and the Panther Group Build badges.

The other badges however are for everyone else unless of course the owner signified their exclusiveness.

The ones that I am using are for everyone:

1.) The badge showing tracks over a propeller is a token of the time when the armor forum has passed the a/c forum in the number of posts.

2.) The badge with a crashed A-10 is just a "fun" badge. Some of the a/c guys made fun of the original badge and the crashed A-10 is the answer to that.

3.) The badge showing a sprocket with tracks is a sample badge for all armor forum fans / members.

The G.B. badges you earn by completing the build.
The others Dwight will tell you about.

I like them, adds a little fun to a group build, and maybe an extra incentive to other members to complete their project.

Hey Dwight, you're on for the Towed Gun build. Has anybody signed up your talent for a badge for that? If you get in first, you might be able to get your 88mm in the badge before anyone else objects!!!!Big Smile [:D]

LOL, poor Dwight. Watch out Dwight, I think you have just been nominated as the armor forum’s badge maker. Lets see… the groups that don’t have, or will need badges are:

1/35th Tiger build
1/16th Tiger build
Weekend build
Abrams build
Towed Gun build
And now a Small Group build

Whew, you have your work cut out for you and from what I hear, the pay STINKS!!! Wink [;)]

Sign - Ditto [#ditto]
how do you do that?
It'd b cool if someone made a badge for the M1 and Towed Gun GBs after they're completed.

ok, figured it out. Go into your profile, and under Signature, type "[ img]" then URL of pic then "[ /img]"
So, let's say there's a pic that you want to use, and the address (for exaple) is
"http://www.finescale.com/pics/bs.jpg"
In your signature, just type in:
"[ img]http://www.finescale.com/pics/bs.jpg[ /img]"
I had to do this with quotes and spaces between the [ and img and [ and /. Just do this without the quotations and spaces Smile [:)]
It's kind of like html...

I have it on good authority that J-Hulk has agreed to compensate you in full for the badge making.

gdarwin,
zokissima showed it a bit above.
i'll paste it again here:

Go into your profile, and under Signature, type "[ img]" then URL of pic then "[ /img]"
So, let's say there's a pic that you want to use, and the address (for exaple) is
"http://www.finescale.com/pics/bs.jpg"
In your signature, just type in:
"[ img]http://www.finescale.com/pics/bs.jpg[ /img]"
I had to do this with quotes and spaces between the [ and img and [ and /. Just do this without the quotations and spaces


just put the text he shows in your sig, but w/o the spaces & quotes.

the problem is, we can't show EXACTLY what to type on the forum, as it would simply interpret it as an instruction and embed the image.

Frosty, After your first picture line is typed in, do not hit enter, continue with your second line and your pictures will be lined up. I hope this works.
