Not sure how much clearer I can be on the subject.

All that is required is the initial picture with a time stamp of some sort, cell phone, newspaper etc. so we can see it is a new kit, and 5 pictures of the completed kit.

Besides that you don't have to show us squat!

We however do encourage and appreciate a WIP thread to show the progress of your build, but it isn't required.

Not sure how much clearer I or anyone can make that....nothing to read between the lines here.
