How do join a GB? Do you just post pictures when it's over? I would like to do an Italeri Hetzer that will be "refurbished." Someone gave me a built kit that was really bad, and want to do it over.
That's it! You're in.
We'll start a new thread for posting pics whenever more are ready to display their handiwork.

I wish.... Got the Academy M-10 as a gift, seems a shame to not build it :-)
I might put a few holes in her though... have a couple of SS Grenadiers climbing on it... would that be OK? LOL
Later

Hey, question here as I have something that was thinking about.
Is this GB a "exclusive" issue only? Or, can an iten be selected and built, then shown in two areas: here and another site.
Thanks,

I got an an Apache waiting in the wings on this one. I mean with all these wonderful Armored beauties running around on the ground. They will need some Aircover won't they??
Oh one question though. If I put some TOWs and Hellfires on my in progres Cobra will that count too. #:-) (kidding)

Lord Dave:
I was going on the theory that such a good friend of mine sent me this wonderous beauty. What better way to thank him was to immoralize it in an Armorama Group Build or Campaign?
Besides you being a year older I thought I might slip it by ya and test to see if your memory was also getting older too #:-) (++)

Dave - I believe it would be okay. There are other sites that demand exclusivity, but I still see subjects appear in more than one place. Having fun and participating is the goal here.
