Someone tried to sell me the shed. He did forget to mention the former owners still living in:

Bruce thanks for the reminder I have PMd all who don't have 3 pics in the Gallery.
Okay I'm calling this done for the purposes of this campaign although I'll probably revisit it in the future. I'm not happy with several things including the figures and the overall colourscheme but it has been a huge learning experience and I'll carry forward what I have learned to the next Dio Campaign.

wow Pat, that is one nice diorama. great work, really like the weathering on the vehicle and the vines on the church are an excellent touch. i see how you need the field signs, always thought signage provides an interesting element of "visual clutter" to any scene.
the figures look very good from here, love the work on the pants. the thing i find with figures is i always feel they could be better but that drives me onto the next project so i can attempt to achieve the best results i can.
great job all around to everyone. cheers, bd

Thanks Bruce, There were a lot of little things that I don't think I did as well as I could have. As I said I'll probably revisit this maybe add more figures around the rest of the ruins but not for a while. Time now to start planning the next campaign.

Pat and MBR both of your dioramas look great. Pat all that work on the church building turned out really good. MBR never would have thought of using modern vehicles with the Miniart kits. But thinking about it all the Reforgers and training exercises in Europe we were in a lot of old small towns. That brings a lot more posibilities for future projects. Look foward to next year's version of the campaign.

Hi all,
Here's my completed work. I will later on place my M32B1 on this diorama, but I have not finished that kit yet. When I place the M32B1 I will also add some small items to the dio, along with some figures. The StuG with crew is now just there for the looks of it.
I have learned a lot during this campaign and I will probably join up again for the next one. I think all of you did a great job with these challenging kits and some of the builders here are just amazing with the skills they displayed in this campaign!!! And Pat: Thanks for organising this excellent campaign!
Greetings,
Max

Hi
This has been 1 of the hardest campaigns I've done to finish on time. I've just got the pic's to take & add to the Gallery. I've added a load more pic's to my photobucket album.
http://s377.photobucket.com/albums/oo218/muddyfields/Miniart%20Campaign/
Didnt get all the little pieces added that I wanted but it's good enough.
Pat I've had a great time with this build & seeing the Great builds from everyone else it's been a Great Campaign. Well Done.

Shaun get them pics into the gallery asap as I'm not sure how long it will stay open.
I have awarded ribbons to everyone else who completed the campaign. If anyone thinks they should have got a ribbon but didn't please PM me.
I have open a thread titled Next Urban Diorama Campaign to discuss a possible future campaign.

Thanks and well done everybody. We had 14 finishers or approx 1/3 of those who enlisted which is quite good I think. I'm going to submit the Urban Campaign idea soon so watch out for it and sign up.

Thanks for the campaign. Learned quite a few things, got some ideas.
One question to "trackpad": Where did you get the sanitary installations? Self-made?
