For those who are interested in making a model of an item of equipment that they served on or with, this GBs for you. Or to comemorate an immediate family member who served but is not here or able to participate on the forums. Veterans of all nationalities are the focus here, but since this is an open site, and has members who have not served, but have a Veteran family member, that they wish to build for , those site members are welcome.
Rules:
The subject must be somthing military or military related- land,sea,or air. Civil subjects pressed into military service are acceptable- example: airliners chartered to deliver troops (or bring them home) to Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, or other deployment land are acceptable- the car you owned while stationed somewhere is not.
The subject should be something you served on or with- it should have personal meaning to YOU!. For Navy types, I know the ship kits out there are limited, so if the class of ship you served on is not available, a ship in the Task Force is perfectly fine- spending six months escorting USS Alfred E Newman across the Seven Seas is a significant event in a life, even if it is dull duty at the time. For those building in tribute of a family member, I know getting specific markings and info for their subject is difficult at best. Please at least try to represent their unit.
The kit may already be partially started- sidelined builds no more than 1/3 completed are acceptable
Crossovers from other GBs are allowed.
This Group Build will commence the day after Thanksgiving, November 25th 2011, 0001 hrs your local time, and conclude at midnight Memorial Day, May 28 2012 Pacific Standard Time.
Have fun, share, and swap stories- factual and otherwise, like we would over a cool frosty malt beverage at the local Legion Hall or VFW.
