      It's really quite simple moni. A profile has been made so people can post a picture without their name showing up to keep the posters identity secret. you need to log on with these details.

      Once logged on you just post one picture at a time. No text, just the picture. People then have to guess who it was that built the model shown in the picture.

        I wouldn't do it as a WIP Ken, just the finished article

          If we make this a Christmas thing as many people have suggested, are their prizes for the best guesser? Maybe John can donate something....

            I think half the knowing who built a model would be in the build processes. Maybe no text but I think build process pics would help with who built the kit.

              I think too many will guess the desk more than the model.... I think we should keep it simple and just stick with the finished build.

                I hadn't thought of that that's true I only take pic in one of three places, that's a good point I think all builds for this should be taken where people don't normally photograph their models or as you say it will be a bit of a giveaway

                        I have a question here, and it is this wouldn't a modellers style change slightly anyway depending on the kit they are working on for example take weathering... iam building the uss enterprise kit and I wouldn't dream of weathering it the same way as I would one of my AFVs or a surface vessel etc. so how would this work to ensure no ones changed their style or approach? Sorry folks just a thought.

                          The whole point of my first post was to suggest that we all


                           Have a style and obviously you would do a nice shiney car differently to an armoured vehicle but every car of armoured vehicle would still be in your style, in this experiment you should only be building whatever you usually build, I know some of us are very eclectic builders and some build strictly planes or armour all Im saying is if you normally only build planes then you shouldn't suddenly build a car, but if you build alsorts then that's fine, just do what you normally do.

                              I love the idea Ken. Is great


                              I don't exactly what......but I will join in  


                              It's necessary to post the updates....or we can only post the finished build....? Personally I prefer the last option  :$

                                I don't know about styles or themes but I build models to the kits specs but I also like others work which inspires me, I  like to add my own flair on the subject so it's defo my work if that makes sense. I rarely build OOB any more but that's just me and my Picasso sort of theme
