Simple rules... A 70's era Tamiya armor kit..... you know, the ones with the motorization holes in the hull.....
It is open now, and lets have our kits done by October. Only one aftermarket item is allowed, all other modifications must be home made..... You can use whatever you like from plastic sheet to flattened beer cans. The idea is for all of us to learn from what the other builders do.
Please bring the kits to each meeting as you build it so we can get some "under construction photos and learn what you have done to modify the kit. Also bring the box as "proof" of vintage, we will also post the box art here for your build. Let me know who is entering and what you are building and I will start you a "build topic" to post in.

I guess I'll jump in: I bought a Pz II off of ebay. The tracks still have detail on one side only! If anyone has tracks, let's talk. I'll figure out my A/M piece later. I'm shooting for a DAK tank with some open lockers.
