The GB page will be up and running on Dec1st. As far as it being in the GB section that is done by Mr. Hansen and I haven't heard back from him. If you guys have seen a cool image we could use for the badge let me know. I've looked at hundreds of images and have yet to see anything that I liked.

I have no clue and I thought Matt was going to add the group build to the group build section of the Forums.

Hey, I am not building any battletech kis for this GB, but name the time and
place and we can have a showdonw of forces.

I used to build the Ral Partha metal miniatures but have gone over to a
larger scale and different types of robot now(Koubu, Scopedogs, Fatty, Purple Bear, etc).
Biggest challenge on a robot kit ever was a 1/60 Resin & White Metal Purple Bear(VOTOM: Vertical One-man Tank for Offense and Maneuvers) with full moveability(downform, etc) and super-detailed cockpit(not bad for a 3" Robot).

The 1/35 Madcat and the 2 1/60 kits were presents from a friend, we used to play together a lot
of wargames, he is a national champon and even won at Osprey. Wink [;)]

maxx1969.

Just got an e-mail that I should receive my Koubu Multiplex in the next 2 days. So I will do 2 different versions of the Koubu + 1/35 Dominion Tank and if I can fit it in a kit(acutally a tank with base and 2 figures) called Road Gunner from Shadow City(Original design) another very interesting design in 1/35 by TVC-15.

Apart from the Koubu's I will go most likely with custom paint shemes.

Welcome to the teem Deusmex.
WOW! We have quite the group here. Can't wait to see some work. Anyone have a good idea for a group badge yet? I'll try to put the build page up tonight with the stated projects. It will then move to the Group Build listing.

Well my Imperial Guard need a drop ship kinda thing so Id like to be in on this too. I already have a Hammerhead and a Devilfish for my Tau so if you need any advice on that just ask , but the kits are pretty straight forward.

I've got my project worked out. I found this CGI of a dropship from a game but I don't know much more about it.

You can start anytime but the official start date is Dec.1. SO HAVE AT IT! Big Smile [:D]

Hi john. You build a model like you normaly would but share updates on progress, tips, and pics of your work. The Group part of it is that we all build something from the same movie topic, or subject. Think of the forum as our little living room where we get together and build stuff Check out the Group Build folder in this forum it will give you an idea.

Here is the Tau Hammerhead MBT (not APC as I first thought) armed with a rather nasty rail gun.
