How do I know the image URL?

How do you get the badge into your signature and make it show up in the first place?

EDIT: Got it to work, but it's cutting off my kit list. Is there any way to fix that?

You can all use the respective participation badge now, that way the GB will get more publicity even before it starts.

You can also make the badge a link to the GB thread, like it is in my signature, using the following code:

<A href="/forums/846344/ShowPost.aspx"><img src="insert image url here" border=0></A>

You will need to put the URL of your respective badge in the code in place of the italicized text. Once you've done that, copy all the green text into your signature.

Here's a very early version of it, with the 47mm gun I think.

Hey Telesono...I don't know if this is the version of the Semovente you're building but here is a kool reference pic....

Scott, I built the Stuart version of that kit last year.  Nice kit, but the decals were just awful.  I'd go AM decals if I ever do another. Regards,  Rick

Thanks for the heads up Rick, I'll see if I can find a nice AM set.

I've been looking over my Academy M3 Stuart "Honey".  It really is a neat little kit.  I'm leaning towards the camo and markings of either of the two 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars, 7th Armored Division.  The color scheme is very unique.  I'm not sure how I'm going to pull of masking and spraying the straight edged camo pattern though.  Should be a fun challenge.

Sadly, the airbrush is enroute to Badger for repairs No modeling until it comes back.

 Bummer ben.  That's one reason why I've accumulated 3 AB's.  Can't risk modelers withdrawel syndrome .

I must admit TJ that I'm really looking forward this one as well.

Cheers 

You can definately sign me up for the Dragon Panzer III Ausf G in 1/35...I'm really looking forward to this one! This is gonna be fun!

It'll be my 1st group build with you guys! ... I really appreciate this site and your opinions & feedback! You guys are the squad! ...The Mod (el) Squad!

I think I can throw my hat in the ring on this one.  I should be finishing up a Kittyhawk on the P-40 group build around the time this one starts and had planned on another, a 260 Squadron one, afterwards, so the timing works out well.  I have a 48th scale AMT P-40K (Kittyhawk Mk.III) that I think I'll use.

After looking through the stash, I'm shocked to find I only have 2 kits that meet the GB criteria.  Since I've already blown the modeling budget this year, my financial advisor (wife) says I can't buy any new kits, so I'll have to make do.

Sign me up for a Tamiya 1/48 Panzer III Ausf.N, Tunisia, 1942.  If time allows, I'll also try & fit in a Hasegawa 1/48 Spitfire Mk.Vb, Tunisia/North Africa, 1943.

PM inbound.

Roger Unfortunately I've got to wait for one of my builds to be released which won't be until late Nov early Dec.  But at least once the start date rolls around I can start work on my Panzer III.

Cheers 

Really looking forward to this build! I'm all about the desert here!

But with a goofy name like Desert Rat, whaddya expect?

Finally got my kit today, and i'm petting her like she were a kitten!

Did I say five badges? I meant SIX!

Alright sir, made up my mind, I'll start w/Germany, doing a 1/35 Tamiya Sd.Kfz.222. Followed by a 1/32 scale Macchi C.202 Folgore in Tunisian markings for Italy. Will do the 21st Century Models... I'm usually a 1/48 scale guy, but I'm dying to find out what a $9 Wal-mart kit can be made into. Should be interesting, to say the least.
