Hi Guido,

Thanks, pity there isn't a more accurate kit available, it makes a neat piece of artillery.

Cheers

Well there is this Caldecraft 18pdr sitting in my stash, which I hopefully will be able to add to the Great War campaign in time. It seems to be a very nice kit. It's all white metal, which isn't exactly my cup of tea, but I'll give it a go anyway!
Cheers.
Guido

Hi All,

I've submited my picture in the gallery, sadly the picture shows it before I finished the weathering as my camera seems to have stopped doing what it's suppose to do, and it was the only picture I've got of it painted. Was a great campaign, nice to get something finsihed for once.

Hi Sal,
Thanks for running a great campaign. I just started way too late to expect to finish, aside from the fact that this project is starting to take on a life of its own. Here are some update pics of my 1/76 Airfix Quad and 25 pdr. I can't remember the last time $4.75 gave me this many hours of fun.

I estimated I've added about 100 scratch built parts so far, and will probably add at least another 100. Everything is dry fit in the pictures, so wheels may not be exactly straight. Haven't decided yet if I will mount the firing platform to the limber. I have seen some pictures with it this way, and I sort of like it. Just need to figure out exactly how it was mounted, as I'm sure it was heavy!

Great builds everyone! Just wish I could have added mine to the finished list...

Ha! Phill, you hit that on the head-- except I thought mine was the exception. Also, yesterday I noticed that a StuG campaign is being proposed. That might be just what you're looking for, but it's very focused, obviously.

And, Mark, nice work in that tiny scale! Would have loved to see that in the gallery, but we'll have to wait to see it finished. Keep up the nice work.
Thanks to everyone for another awesome campaign here!

Sean a;ready signed up for the STuG campaign but a STuG aint a Panzerjager ..its an assault gun and then turned into a tank hunter thats why i was thinking panzerjagers ,,then its open to all sorts of machines ..not only German but US and Brits and anyone else .

Phill: a while back we had a Tank Killers campaign and it was great fun. I'd support your panzerjager campaign for sure. I also like the Stug campaign and am thinking on that one too.

Happy Modeling, -zon

Sal, I'm still baffled. I can upload pics to here but still have no idea how to put them in the gallery. Is that why I've not got a campaign ribbon...lol
