Hello guys, I am 16, and I am interested in joining this. How does this work? I started on a Starfix (lol, I know) 1/72 BF-109E, would that count? How do I prove it's done? All that's left to do is glue the canopy, LG, tail wheel, and prop on, in addition to decals and rigging, with a little bit of detail painting, too.

Thanks Reb I am going to build another something though.

Sadly though Baked Potato that's his name. It's a story from Marching Band I'd rather not discuss to you guys...

Anyways Baked Potato was discovered lying in pieces on September 7, 2006 at the time of around 1017. Yes it is rather sad. The doctors said they will try to make him presentable as he has multiple burnt marks on his arms legs turso and head. His legs and arms are detached at the present moment and Doctors say he might not make it.

Perhaps you have too much time on your hands? lol Tongue [:P]

I guess it can count since it is in a way a model of a person.

I have um a scratchbuilt figure for this build is this ok?

Any name suggestions? I'm thinking Bob

Bob is in very good physcal condition. He is plastic sprue and yet he can still do pushups.

And can lift an M113 IDF Fitter...

No but seriously I still don't know what I'll build for real.

Can I change my build to a Tamiya 1/35 Panzer IV Ausf J? I worked on the subs a little and the fit is pretty awful to say the least.

haha yeah i know what you mean about the pictures in a few days lol. i started messin around with that horizontal late korean war style susspention on my M51 sherman haha got about half way through one side and got bored with it, what a mess of little parts over and over again. if i was thinking i would have left the bogies off the hull to make painting easier, but ive been glueing them on as i go. same thing Fletcher said about the progress pics haha

looks good ruby. reb's got it with the tips, that'll definitely improve your builds.

I am sorry to tell you, but I am not a reddish stone.

O and reb, why aren't you counting it in? I don't understand. O, and the anti-glare panel IS a masked item. The framin is freehand. I don't like masking canopies.

Just a guess but the Star date is September 1st.

BTW pretty good build and if your happy w/the results thats what matters.

Will, I like that badge, is it possible to make the guy one of the main characters though? Preferably catman.
