Here's what I have lined up for the GB Revell's 1/72 PT-109 with WEM PE set including the 37mm canon on the bow

Are you going to build exactly PT-109 or other Elco PT?

It would be great to have you with us !  Airifx makes a neat little MTB that would suit you...

Hiya I would like to be counted in (just so long as there is no horrendous forfit if I don't finish the project within time!). I've not built a model for a few years (and it must have been 25 years since I last built a boat/ship) but this a good excuse to get on with one.  I've not decided what to build yet except that it will be WW2, Royal Navy, 1/72 scale.

my attitude is:  when you get a torpedo boat model, decide to join....heck, copy and paste it on your profile!   Research mode is in full swing, lots of options for these little boats !  Thank god for sites like PT consulting, and Prinz Eugen !      Remember all, fun is the name of the game on this one, though Garth will be looking over your shoulder the entire time and keeping notes!!!!!

You could always pick up a revell 109 and jump in too !  I'm sure there will be a ton of questions from the crowd as time goes by, so be sure to check in.    Almost done with the badge...waiting on some ink to dry.

Rules: (due to a massive amount of changes, the deadline has been moved to a later date. Those who finish by December 1st and submit photos (2-3) will get a bonus number of points.)

   1. Models must not be started prior to May 15th, 2006, and must be completed by March 1st, 2007.

   2. Any and all aftermarket details, scratchbuilt items, and such are allowable.

   3. Any scale, any type of torpedo boat is allowed, ie: PT's, MTB's, Schnellboots, etc.

   4. Garth has the final word on placement, no quibbling !

   5. You must have fun.  We are trying to bring more modelers into the wonderful world of building these little mosquito boats, so make your best pitch, and post as much as you can.

   6.  Dioramas are allowed.  Any ship with more than two figures is considered a diorama.

   7. Final pics.  We encourage you to have a "build thread" for your model (s) in the ship section, (don't post them here)  and hope to see a lot of work-in-progress pics.  The final judging will be from 2 (two) pics not more than 900 pixels x 1200 pixels each, so make sure you take your time to get the best shots.  Final pics will be posted here on the final day, feel free to send me pics and I will resize them as necessary, or post them in the thread marked "Final Pics" in December.

       Good luck, and happy styrene/wood bashing!

     Yes, there will be prizes, although they will be announced at a later date.  I should have a gb logo up for this tomorrow a.m. that you can copy and paste.  tick, tock...almost time !
