Ladies, gentlemen, schweiner!!! It is now OFFICIAL! The "Big and Piggy" group build!!! Oh yea, oh yea, and hear ye, hear ye!!

THE Rule Set:

1) the model must be military in nature.

2) it must have two or more wheels and/or tracks (or one wheel and two tracks, or two wheels and one track?), and/or wings and/or a keel (basically, any military vehicle from the Land, Air, or Sea forces). Edit: Mechas are to be considered an included entitiy. They are military in nature (rule #1), and because they are "futuristic" in essence (rule #5 - any era), they are probably too advanced to include the "basic" modes-of-movement, therefore included in this build.

3) MUST (YES, MUST) be painted PINK, or in a predominantly PINK scheme.

4) should have a catchy slogan painted on the side (in ANY language as long as it's translated upon submission and, sorry, shouldn't be, you know, offensive?). The slogan is recommended for "unit cohesiveness," but not required.

5) any scale, any era, and because we are a no-boundry, international gathering,well, really BIG INTERNATIONAL gathering ; a vehicle of any nationality.

6) submitions can only be made by "registered" members of the DSB. So if you ain't DSB, and want to participate, you better join up and SUFFER the questions of "DEATH!" Go Carl, go! Spice it up my fellow oinker!!!!

7) the model MUST include the member's PIG number on it....be it hull number, tail number, license plate number, or other such number, as long as it is the member's number and clearly visible.

Official start date is June 1, 2006 and the end date is December 1, 2006.

A plus or minus week or two is allowed for the start date.

That's it! Post your "stuff" here. Individual threads in the DSB forum are encouraged. Heaven forbid we suffer the wrath of #i@ R!

All hail the Uber Pig, all hail the DSB! All hail the "group build." Now, go build, have fun, and show them naysayers, puppy dogs, and Fluvian curs, we MEAN BUSINESS and shall, collectively, "lay the smackdown" upon their mangy heads!

Sign up, build away, and post away!

p.s. Mojo? Hey, Mojo? Sir, is the motorpool/dock ready!???!!!??

I just realized I have at least 1 or 2 B-24D's which could be historically PINK for the first Polesti Raid.Those A/C were desert PINK over neutral grey.

Those fuzzworts at high distance will require the crushing with the guns of the high calibre... to celebrate my induction into DSB I shall incorporate my piggy # twice, with a Revell M109A6 Paladin being 155 inside and out! Debt to the enemy!
