Hello.

I see nice builds in this campagne. wish all of you luck with your kits.

I have made some progressing with the Staghound. After painted everything I put the stowage on the Staghound. After everything had dried, I started with an overall wash en later on with a pinwash. More weathering need to been done, but first some photo's.








I won't make a diorama, I just will put in on a small base, so no fuss this time.

Joh: looks great. I particularly like the wheels, and the stowage looks good as well.

Happy Modelling, -zon

Some terrific builds here, I'm loving all the WW2 stuff, it's encouraging me to begin working on some older stuff rather than all the modern kits I've been hoarding. lol. A nice selection of LAVs too.

I've finished up number 2, an LAV A2, adding a few things here and there to liven it up, though not sure how theater appropriate it may be.






Also, Gary, is there any way to limit the number of post's per page? Some of the pages are becoming very picture heavy, and I think a few people might benefit from having a few less post's per page. Also, sorry if this was mentioned and I missed it.

Lucas,
I have to admit I think that sometimes as well. As far as I know, there is no limit to the number of pictures to post in a message or thread. But then I would rather have too many pictures than too few.

I don't have a problem with people posting pictures, its the amount of post's per page that takes its toll on my connection. Some pages have nearly 30 posts, which when combined with pictures amounts to a lot of data being sent and received.

I was just curious if there was a setting that could limit each page to 8-10 posts. Sure there would be triple the pages, but they would take less time to load and would be easier to peruse.

Regards.

I have no problem with the amount of pictures or posts. I do have a very fast connection, I think that Kitmaker Network has more problems with loading all the post and pictures.

Hello,

I have finally finished the Staghoud, gave this car a place to stand up, made some mudd and finished the painting. Hope you like it. I have put the pictures also in the gallery.











It was my first campaign and I'm happy that I have also finished this project, so up to something new. Wish all the participants succes!

Grtz Joh

Great LAV-2, Lucas! Looks very nice.

Love the weathering on the Staghound, Joh. You did a great job on it and it ties together great with the base.

I am planning to build a BTR-70 or 80 for this campaign, but have not decided completely yet. More to follow at a later stage.

I see some nice builds in progress here. Good job everyone.

I've been busy building the interior of the Sdkfz 234. In the crew compartment I expect very little to be seen so the effort was kept minimal.

I did encounter some problems with the engine but finally I did get everything in place.



More soon, P.A.

Paul: I'm just barely ahead of you, but without an interior or good wheels. Your build looks great and I wish I'd broken the turret down like you did. Smart.

P.A.: coming along nicely. Can't wait to see the rest!

Here's my update. I've gotten the base color on. Tamiya XF-62 with a little XF-51 to see how it works out.

Great work, Alexander. The level of detail is great - especially considering the scale.

Looking forward to see the final result.

Hi everyone. the models are all looking great so far. i look forward to seeing all the completed models at the end of the campaign.sorry that i've not updated my LAV III TUA in a while but i ran out of supplies (glue and footmans loops). Now my union has started job action (strike) against my employer. i still plan on finishing my LAV but it may be one of those down to wire finishes.

Here's my WIP, a 234/4 1:35 from Dragon.



Not on the pics are the wheels, no paint on them yet.

I still have to paint the interior and build the gun, all the details... tons of work.
