Here is the GB badge.
Thank you Bruce for your immense help with the lettering design and lay out.
It is here for you to display or not. I don't care if you grab it and display it now or after completion of your subject.
I feel that if you have the boldness to sign up, you earned it.

Really looking forward to this Steve, and thank you for hosting this GB.

You got it Jeff. Ship group builds aren't as popular as planes or tanks but somebody's gota do e'm.

I'm really looking forward to everyone's builds.

Speaking of builds, I'm switching my first one to the Spruance.
