I'm a new member to Armorama & kitmaker sites as well as to campaigns. I've just become interested in armor as I've been a aircraft modeler on and off for years, and thought that getting into campaigns would be a great way to post my work, get advice, and make some friends here.

I've signed up for the All American Tracks campaign which starts on June 1st. Some campaigns have as part of their posted rules the requirement that you post a box photo with a dated newspaper. There doesn't seem to be this requirement for this campaign.

Does this mean that I can start my model today?

Thanks,

Joel

Dave,

Thanks.

Does that mean that I still have to post a picture of the box, sprues, and a newspaper on my start date?

Hi Joel and welcome!

From the short time Im here I learned, that its up to the campaign leader if a picture before start is required. Ive been in four campaigns so far and I always do take a picture of the box content with the last post of the topic im interested in, like this:



I didnt do it only once, in the Winter Warriors Campaign, since I started the buid while I was in a hotel, but so far it seems nobody has a problem with that.

Generally builds for campaigns cannot start before the start date. There are only a few exceptions with finishing/get the job done or overhaul campaigns. Whether or not a pre build pic is required is up to the campaign leader, it's a matter of trust.

Cheers!
