The Programme has moved!
Go here: http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/...or-Program-3.0
Nintendude had originally started this mentoring programme here, but unfortunately he's decided to leave the 405th and thus can't oversee it anymore. I think it's worth keeping, so I asked him for permission to take care of it from now on and he's given me a green light to do so.
Update: In the meantime, Nintendude has returned, so you may see him around.
The idea behind this is that new members are likely to be confused and have lots of questions after they join; about how to build their projects, about how to use the forum, about forum etiquette and possibly about other things as well. Personal communication with a more experienced member is often the best way to solve these issues, and possibly even make a friend in the process.
If you're a veteran and wish to help, post it here. If you're new and would like a mentor to help you get into the hobby and the community, post here as well.
Feel free to add what you can or want to do. Say things like "I build wooden props" or "I know all about moulding" if you're a veteran. If you're a new member, say "I want to make a weapon" or "I want to make armour". I can't give you any guarantees, but I will try to avoid teaming up a digital artist with somebody who wants to build a life sized Warthog.
