The campaign has been officially ended, since the end date was never changed on the campaign page.
To extend a campaign you need to get hold of GunTruck, and have the campaign page updated with the new ending date. I believe it automatically ends by default on the stated end date on the form.
Perhaps a PM or email to Guntruck will help.

But you are right.. I will extend it till after the weekend.



Pffffw! Good thing because I completely forget to put some pictures of finished "Klaas" here on the thread.
Well: here he is!

The little vignette is made from the top of a tin candybox (you know, the kind with those very sweet fruit candy) painted brown.
The bike is from Tamiya, Klaas himself is a MK.35 figure with 1 arm borrowed from the Tamiya cycling german soldier. Gras is from BUSH, little bushes from Woodland Scenics, street from NOCH, telephone pole is made out of sprue with MK.35 isolators. Concrete little pole is from balsa wood, painted white.

@ Alan: I love that chicken! I'm sure it belongs to the communist resistance!

Another delay.......

I had hoped to be able to work on the ribbon this weekend, but

This morning, fate decided that my right shoulder should be dislocated today

Been to a hospital, the shoulder has been corrected, but I have to type and work with my left hand now for about a week, if not more.

I hope you understand.

Richard, how's your shoulder??
Hope you are able to model again...

I just played with the PC today, so I had some ribbons designed, perhaps you like one.
(I like the red one myself.)

Take care!

I gree with Mary, The red one is more what I see as a winner in the ribbon category.

I admit, though the green one is what I had in mind, I like the red one better too

Shoulder is close to painfree now, and this morning, I actually held a brush oncemore for the first time in weeks

Still have to carry my arm in a sling though ( doctor's orders )

Richard, glad to hear that you're on the mend. Any forecast on when you might be able to finalise the ribbon?
