Build Logs
Build logs or "Blogs" represent a step-by-step progression of an individual scale model build project from the moment the shrink wrap is removed and the first part is cut from the sprue all the way through to the final weathering and painting touches. Build logs are provided in a forum-post type narrative format with each "work in progress" or WIP post dated to show the total build time chronology. The logs include high-resolution detailed photos of each stage of the build and any assembly issues, traps, instruction pitfalls, or builder-induced errors encountered along the way highlighted. The goal is to make it easier for other scale model builders to build the same kit or at least be aware of what they are in for before they start. The logs are organized by year of completion with the most recent listed first back through 2009.
