However I have a proposition that if no one objects to would allow me to participate and also help reduce the build up of unfinished kits. Some time ago when i returned to the hobby I did what most men do when they get into a new pastime and went out and spent an obscene amount of money on kits,tools and paints, one of the kits was a Tamiya 1/32 F-14 with a load of resin and photoetch. This proved too much of a challenge to my skills at the time therefore got shelved. I did ressurect this build a little while back but alas this too stalled (in fact there is a thread on the forum somewhere) Now my proposal to you all is this : I would like to continue my F-14 within the group build, I of course would be exempt from judging as the kit is too far along in construction qualify in the rules and I will only be particating for the fun and camaraderie. I think that doing this will mean I can work on it in between my other commitments and that I don't put myself under any pressure to finish to a deadline. If the kit gets finiished I clear the shelf of doom a little more and I don't have any guilt for starting a new one that in all likelihood won't ever get finished Let me know what you think guys, and if there are no objections I will ask Bobby to move my existing thread to the group build section. And again just to be clear I will not be eligible for any prizes, I just want to be part of the group Pete
