I'd love to enter, and being an avid FG'er I should, but as somebody pointed out, my skills tend more towards designing than building (I'll try anyway).

Unfortunately, my 5 year old laser printer just decided to become a 75 pound paper weight, so I'll have to dig around and see what I have already printed.

I can't really spend the prize money at FG, since I have lifetime Magic Keys and get the update DVD free every year (perks of being a designer for FG(hint hint)), so maybe if by some miracle I win something, I'll donate it to somebody willing to spend it there.

Oh, and the real explanation for braille scale is anything that you need any form of artificial aid to be able to see, i.e: a magnifying glass, microscope, or if you're looking at one of Lep's models, the Hubble Space Telescope.

Im in,
I plan to do a repaint of the me-163 rocket fighter

Alright I understand what Braille Scale is now.
but why is it called that? It seems the opposite of what I would think.

because they're so small, you can't see them, you have to feel them.

Here is a question- If I build a FG model and make no changes Except to print and build it with Red River Silver paper, would that still be considered "Stock"?

I'm in. I've been a big fan of FG for years, might go with the F-100 or Heinkel He-178, decisions, decisions...

'Just did a bit of shopping over at FG...can't wait 'till Monday to officially get this thing started. Now I only need to go out and get some more ink for the printer...I have a strong feeling that I'm going to be using a lot of it.:D

Did my shopping yesterday. Heating up the printer now. This should be fun and hopefully really will help Chip!
