Hi mates!!

First of all I'd like to remind you that tomorrow is a Valentine's Day, so you will probably be busy with other stuff and will have no time to post pics of your finished entries here - better do it today .
The day after tomorow is the final date, so remember to post a pic here or in the campaign gallery. I'll try to add awards to your profiles first thing Monday.

Really getting down to the wire now! I just got a new airbrush today and this build is it's first use. So far the SU was preshaded and the the base coat of green applied. The treads are weathered and ready to go on and a wash was put into the PE grills. Am doing some minor detail painting and then the weathering can be started. Here's some progress shots.










Cheers and good luck to all,
Jan

Hi all! Just made it in under the wire. Ran into a few difficulties with attaching the treads and even broke off a road wheel in the process. Getting that wheel reattached was an experience. Anyway, here's a couple of shots, the rest are in the campaign gallery.






Was a great if not rushed (for me) campaign but very enjoyable.

Cheers,
Jan

hello all,
here's my entry in the campaign.it is a Tiger 1 Final Edition in 1/48th scale.the biggest problem i had with is the tracks were 1/2 inch to short and i did not have the right screwdriver for the road wheels.they were glued on.

the main gun is not perfectly straight.i tried to get it straight but no go.

just a close up of the items i used to make a small Dio.
the other photo's will be in the gallery.
Andrzej,
thanks for a great campaign and to all of you who finished here's to you
cheers,
Bruce

Cheers Jan and Bruce to getting in under the wire. The tracks look good on that SU, and Bruce I had to glue the wheels on my AFV Tiger I also. Still, it's a nice kit. I'm going to eventually try another one with the plastic link snap tracks instead. Great campaign everyone!


P.S. where do you find the campaign gallery?

Greg, if you have problem with it - don't worry: you've posted pics here and it's enough to get the award.

Jan, Bruce - very nice entries! Jan, your model is so darn tiny... I cannot imagine myself building stuff that is so small...
Bruce, I love the stones on your diorama - what did you use?

Andrzej, Greg, thanks for the compliments. I've got quite a few pictures of the entire build process and am thinking I'll do a build feature over at the Braille Scale forum. The small size wasn't so much a problem for me, it was several inaccuracies in the instructions that really slowed me down.

Anyway, great campaign and a lot of fantastic builds.

Hello everybody.

I’d like to officially close this campaign. It was one of the biggest campaigns I’ve seen here. 122 people enlisted, we had many entries and few builds were started but not finished (you can use them in Get the job done… Again campaign ).

As a substitute campaign leader (which starts to be my usual job here ) I want to thank all participants and inform everybody that people listed below are awarded with OTEF Award:

This award signifies that below listed people completed On The Eastern Front Campaign by depicting vehicle or other item used from Molotov's Line to the wide fields of Soviet Union and back to Berlin: on the Eastern Front.

In case I missed anyone (believe me – it took some time to check whole gallery and forum so it may have happened) – I do apologize! Please PM me or write a post here and I’ll add a ribbon to your profile immediately (let me know where the picture of your finished work is).

Did you realise you were to unleash a such a monster? Just like the Eastern Front really.
Thanks Andrzej, for running such a massive and incredible Group build. This thread is book
marked by me to learn plenty about whitewashing, snow effects, dios and modelling in armour general
thanks to everyone.

JP, it was Jagdpanzer who unleashed this hell - I just tried to muzzle this doggie when original leader stopped posting .
It sure was one of the biggest campaigns I've seen on this site.

Thank you for participating.

Hello Andrzej,

thank you very much for the the sweat, blood and tears you have put into the showdown of this campaign.

I can only imagine how much work that must have been: Browsing through all the 23 pages, gathering each entry and then to list them all in a bunch by uploading(!) them again.

And all these efforts in that short time to supply the rewards puntually.

I appreciate that very much.

I'm in!
I just started building Dragon's Initial Production Tiger I (6252) for a winter-themed diorama. I just completed a set of "German Tankers Winter 1942-45" (T-35072) I purchased from Tank to use as a crew. I'm quite pleased with the quality of the figures and the results.

Randy, sorry, this one just finished up. Sounds like you have a prime candidate for the Big Cats campaign, if that one interests you, or possibly one of the others.
