I'll take that walk with you, Roberto! That is, if you're willing to channel your excitement onto the bench. Certainly, group builds are voluntary and the forum would probably be happy to see you build whatever you like whenever you want. Group builds are not so much about rocking the house, but rather participation and the pure enjoyment of building a type shoulder-to-shoulder with others. I've found they are a great vehicle for learning a lot along the way, since you will get to see what others are doing and why they make certain choices or favor one technique over another. Also, please consider the idea that no matter how many techniques you pick up and master your builds will always be your builds and will bear the mark of your hand. At least in my case, I don't think anyone is ever going to look at one of my models and ask whether it was built by "world-renowned modeler (insert name here)" and I'm okay with that.
