Modeling Teams for Club Contest


At the January 5, 2005 Austin Armor Builders Society meeting we will set up modeling teams for the future club contests. Teams of 5 to 6 members will be formed by lots drawn at the meeting.  Each member's task will also be drawn by lots. Each team will be provided with the Dragon T-34/76 Model 1941 model kit (Kit No: 6205).  The teams will have 5 to 6 months to complete their kit.  Each team member has one month to complete the task he or she drew.  The previous months work will be presented and explained by the member who performed the work.
