I will go ahead and extend at least another week. If more time is needed please let Jesper or myself know.

I agree with Mark. I hope one week is enough for you, Emre? Otherwise we end up exteding the campaign for too long. As I recall it has now been extended by 3 weeks already.

I will get back to work on a ribbon.

Sounds good, Emre

Here is the designed ribbon. It is a Panther and a Leopard on red background with oak leaves on each side.
However, I have a problem as the ribbon is only allowed to be 1000 bytes and this one is 1600 bytes.

Firtsly, can somebody help me with compressing this ribbon to 1000 bytes?

Secondly, maybe the kitmaker network should consider allowing bigger files for ribbons. 1000 bytes is baiscally nothing - even if the ribbon is only 50 x 20 pixels.

Hope this helps you, guy!

OK, I'm calling it a day and declaring my models are done for the campaign. I know they are still incomplete, but now my compressor has died on me and I can't use my airbrush. It will take two weeks to get it repaired, so with my humble apologies please accept my models in their state. I'm so furious that I won't be touching my models for some time. (Not that I have time anyway, with my CPA certificate exam in 1.5 months)

The father is the Italeri Elefant and the (step)son is Revell's Panzerhaubitze 2000, both in 1/35 scale. The P-2000 is out of the box, while the Elefant is pimped up with hand-made zimmerit from modelling clay and HobbyBoss tracks(which I strongly recommend).

Looks good, Emre.

I guess the Elefant is sort of a step son. I think they look fine as they are, but a little weathering when you get more time would also add some more realism.

Thanks for participating - and good luck on your CPA certificate exam! Now, get back to your books!

Right now there are some problems with uploading the ribbon to the campaign page. The kitmaker network staff are working on it. As soon as this is solved I will award the ribbons.

Sorry it is taking some time with the ribbon, guys. The Armorama staff is working on solving the ribbon issue, so everybody can have their ribbons.

I am ready to award them as soon as Jim or Mark from the staff lets me know the ribbon is ready.

Mark from the staff has now solved the problems of adding the ribbon to the campaign on the new server.

I have awarded the ribbons. We are an exclusive group. Only 5 of us has received ribbons. The original campaign leader not included.

Diorandy, you have uploaded pictures of a diorama with a M18 Hellcat tank destroyer. But I see no son/father for the M18. Is this a mistake? You need to make both the father and the son to qualify for a ribbon.
