Well now that a few issues at work have been resolved, I have gotten a little more done on the LAV-25. I have finished a basic interior in the crew compatment and opened up the top side hatches and replaced the moulded on ones with ones from a Trumpeter that someone donated to me. I made a very basic turret basket that is not accurate but gives the crowded look through when seen through both sets of hatches.

The Lav-25 is closed up and work continues.

The interior colour is the correct green even though the photos show an "washed out" colour.

I have a question for the CAMPAIGN LEADER, in the rules and regulations it states to be eligible for the award you must post the completed picture in the official campaign gallery. Where and how do I do that to get credit? This is only the second campaign I have entered, and the other one didn't say anything like that.
Thanks Tom

For the Where, click on the "PHOTOS" tab at the top of the page to get to the KitMaker Photo Gallery. You will probably have to sign in using your Armorama ID and password. In the upper-right corner, you should see "Login". Just click on it.

To get to the campaign gallery, click on Campaigns (the 11th category), then click on Currently Active Campaigns, then "! Mighty Wheels 2009".

In the upper-right corner (next to where it said Login), you should see Upload Photos. Click on that. Click on any of the "Choose File" buttons. This will bring up your browser's file chooser allowing you to select a picture to upload. If you have several, just repeat the process using more "Upload Photos" buttons. When you are done, click on the Upload/Submit button and that should be it.

I am afraid I will not get a ribbon for this one....
Another build has been taking up all my time and attention and I didn't do anything on my Schwimmie anymore. With only 1 more week to go it'll be nearly impossible to finish it...

You probably didn't miss anything. One disadvantage of being part of the staff is that what we see isn't always what non-staff sees. Sorry about that.

Gary,
I got the same problem when I access the campaign gallery. I don't see any upload photo button !

Moreover when I go in my own user gallery the uploading is denied to me !!

So pending the solving of this problem, here are my pictures of the completed Skot 2A.

Looks like they found some fat to trim in the Photo Gallery. It is back up and ready for your photos!

Thanks for your help Gary.
Pictures posted, it was a while since I took part and managed to finish a campaign on time !

It has been a challenging one, for me at least.

Thank you for fixing things Gary!

Sorry I haven't respond to all questions but I've been quite busy these days and it was impossible to me to sit down for more than 5 minutes in front of computer (I've been preparing models for a show that started this Saturday) ...
Anyway, great work everybody!
Olivier - it is nice to see some Polish accent!

Two issues:
If anyone is close to finish one's vehicle but will not make it in time, please let me know - we can agree on accepting the entry few days after final line (just let me know here or by PM as soon as you post your finished work) - it will not last forever though: I suggest February 14th as last day for claiming your ribbon.
Second: if anyone have a problem (or forgot) to upload the picture of finished vehicle in campaign gallery - don't worry, I WILL check the forum for pictures as well.

My Humvee is painted with gloss coat and drying right now - today I want to add decals and add one more layer of gloss coat.

A.

I didn't fix a thing. All the work was probably done by whoever hosts KitMaker.

Olivier, what a splendid piece of work you did there!

As for me, I'm officially out of this campaign. I will not get it finished, not even with Andrzej's inofficial extension. My workbench is still to full and my Schwimmwagen was more of a sidetrackjob anyway, but I don't want to ruin it by making it a rushjob.

Just finished up my Dragon 234/1. The Model is stock except for the antenna which is by Modelmecca of Spain. I didnt do alot of weathering as it's going to be part of a desert type dio. The kit fell together nicely.

Andrzej,

I too may run a few days over. I gave up on the CCKW truck build as the Panther for the Bitter Taste campaign ate up my time. So, the Ford GPA and Jeep will be my entries, but getting them weathered, photo'd and posted by Sunday is touch and go.

The truck will await another campaign...

Andrzej,

I will try to finish by the deadline but "may" need the extension. Work has distracted me from the more important task of building.

Cheers,
Jan

I'll take you up on the extension, Andrzej! Work and family have dragged out my Centauro build. I'm aiming to get it done by the 14th of February. Wish me luck!

Some more progress on my Luchs:





If nothing intervenes it should get the final touches this weekend.
