Guys - during housekeeping this morning I came across what appeared to be an empty post in the New Projects thread. In deleting this "phantom" post - it wound up removing the entire thread! I confirmed it is gone with Big Jim and hopefully he can change this particular button's description to something even more of a warning.

I apologize for removing some of the interesting comments in the old New Projects thread started a couple of days ago. Please feel free to re-post or continue the thread here...

Gunnie, your punishment for this heinous act will be a New Project just for you. You must build the Zvezda T-60 light tank. Don't try to trick us with the Mirage/RPM one either.

Here are the conditions:
1. Out-of-box, no aftermarket allowed.
2. All you can use is a tube of glue, Testors red or blue label, your choice.
3. The little bottles of Testors paint with the white paint brushes.
4. Only tool allowed will be an X-acto knife with a dull #11 blade.

Your tank will still look better than anything I build though

Oh man! I actually remember building models using nothing but those supplies. Testors red tube please, and strings of glue all over me and the model.
