If I choose the Dragon 1/35 Hohenstaufen division soldiers, which is about 10% in the build, is it ok if I miss one figure? If that's ok, I'm certainly in..

This sounds like a sweet GB! I'm 15, so sign me up. I'm about 85% done with my p-47, but when I'm done, I'm building a Hasegawa Willys jeep for a dio with the Jug and a AM Avenger. Put me down for the Avenger and the jeep if you want.

Jmart suggested too me that for every junior modelor who compltetes a kit an adult donates a kit too you. Junior modellors, how does that sound.

All right this is for junior modellers who are under the age of eighteen as of May 29, 2008.

So for rules I think all models that.

kits that are under a 25% completion rate.

dios included.

The running time is 3 months.

May 29 to september first

you can do as many as you want so for now i need a badge, can anyone make one?

Please join
