Thanks also so much for running this campaign, probably harder work that you anticipated. That's the first one I've done, and it has been totally addictive, as well as truly nostalgic, with lots of great builds. Shame we didn't quite hit them all (LRDG...?)

Although I completed my official entry ages ago, if I get some improved pix of the SdKfz11 over the next few days, is it OK for me to sub them in for the existing pic of that or do you want to freeze what's there?

As this was my first time running a campaign you are absolutely correct in assuming that it was quite a bit of work. I have experienced eight prior campaigns and the one failing in a couple was a lack of organization. I also experienced some particularly superbly run campaigns and I used what I learned from them for this one.

I have the Matchbox LRDG partially built but it was at that state prior to this campaign so it didn't qualify. Campaign administration and responsibilities were such that I had little free time for anything but my M40 build.

Hi Chris. I'm intrigued by your technique for painting your cobblestone base. I looked at the finished photos and the stones appear to be varying shades of blended grey, but in this photo they are very distinct shades of white, black brown, yellow, and grey -- no blrnding at all.

A tad too late, but it's kind of ready. Taken with my phone's camera... (It actually looks better in life ) The thing is, I moved back to Europe in university housing, I lack all my tools, and paints, so it was done in "nostalgia" mode: tweezers, a blade, some sandpaper and brushes.
Two more years until I can reunite with my airbrush...

Yeah, I got diverted too, actually I'm in a motivational low when it comes to modeling right now so that was a no go on the LRDG... Sorry...

Thanks for leading the campaign Jan, you did great! Looking forward to the feature!

Cheers!

I'm glad you liked the result

I am working on a feature for the Tank Killers campaign. As you said, it looks like a lot of work (at least the first time around).

I decided to add the builder's name and what kit he used onto the photos (the kit only on one photo if there is more than one). I just pulled photos from the gallery but there are some in-progress pictures in the thread which I may also use.

Dear Fellow MNC members,

Just when I think that my responsibilities as campaign leader are over, a new issue seems to raise it's head. As many of you will recall, I suggested that an On Display or other sort of Feature should or could be made to showcase everyone's wonderful builds. I have investigated the process and in its own right it is not a simple undertaking. Normal reviews here on Armorama have a set format and Web based form to assist the reviewer. Features are a totally different process and in their own right are totally manual in preparation.

What I would like to ask is that all successful campaigners (those who received an award ribbon) who have posted in this thread please leave their pictures available to this thread. I have started putting a gallery together but it will take more time than I originally thought.

I will see how things go but I may need the assistance of the successful members of this campaign. During this process we'll try to keep this thread alive so that you all can know the progress to date. I am investigating setting up a separate Web based gallery where you can all upload completed build pictures, including those of you that have completed more than one build. I ask for your patience and understanding during this process.

Thanks,
Jan
