count me in but will decide what as soon as I get home (in 2 weeks)

djmodels1999 · October 25, 2004, 12:18pm

Pierre, I’m involved in building patterns for a series of MCG for retromodels so any pics would be welcome!

OK Domi,

So check out you mail-box

ChrisJPB · October 26, 2004, 3:55am

Domi,

I would like to have a group build picture like the ones the are at the bottom of your posts. Can you give me a hand in making one for this group build?

djmodels1999 · October 26, 2004, 5:49am

I’ll try a few, and let you chose, Chris…!

Pierre, I can’t wait to be home and check those pics!

djmodels1999 · October 26, 2004, 6:55am

And here’s another one…

I like the first one !

ChrisJPB · October 27, 2004, 4:07am

Domi, Is there anyway to get more of the Char B1 in the picture on the second choice? What program are you using?

ChrisJPB · October 27, 2004, 4:10am

My copy of the Char B1 in Combat by Histoire Collections came today. What an excellent book! Anyone else seen this book?

djmodels1999 · October 27, 2004, 6:22am

Chris, I use Paint Shop Pro 7, but with very limited skills (those were the 3rd and 4th badge I ever worked on!)… I’ll try to get a few other to you soon. But please, all of you, feel free to come up with new badges!

ChrisJPB · October 28, 2004, 5:56am

Domi,

I have limited skills too. I’m going to try to have something by 1 Nov.

Just for Fun :

djmodels1999 · October 28, 2004, 7:25am

Oh, I like those, Pierre! Original!

Spamicus · October 28, 2004, 8:38pm

Open ended works for me. I’ll get in with MB Models Char B1 bis. It’ll be my first full resin kit, but I think I can handle it. My work schedule is kind of weird, but the open ended build will make it possible.

ChrisJPB · October 29, 2004, 4:32am

Wecome aboard, Steven. I’m going to atempt to tackle the same kit. I have been trying to collect research data on it so if you have any questions feel free.

I am liking this forum stuff more and more.
