Hello,

Here's my entry for the Spahwagen campaign. It's an ITaleri Puma with Royal REsin wheels and Jordi Rubio aluminum barrel. The model and the aftermarket products are given to me by Blade48mrd. Thank you very much Mike.

Jerrycan braces are made of aluminum from soda cans. The "stand" for the width indicator is made out of wire. Antenna is made of stretched sprue.

The model is weathered using oil washes, acrylic washes, oil paint drybrushing and pastels. This depics the vehicle in dusty France.

Here are some pics























Comments and criticisms, as usual, are welcome.

Andrew and all,

Great campaign and outstanding entries from all. My apologies as I was not able to get my Puma done for submission to the Campaign. Caught stuck down in Florida on business for last couple weeks and couldn't meet deadline. My bad. Thanks to all for sharing those quality entries. I'll get mine done and plan on getting it into a diorama anyway. That makes two Campaigns this way now. I'm really hoping to get things settled down so I can enjoy a couple "completed" builds here very soon. Again sorry to let everyone down.

If anyone is curious, I've posted a couple pictures in my Gallery of what I've been working on. A kind of "build" though 1:1 scale and Aircraft related. It is a "Seat and Canopy Trainer" for the F/A-22 "Raptor" at Tyndall AFB in Florida.

Nice builds so far, unfortunatly i have to resign from the campaign, too. i wasn't able to get my sd.kfz 222 with the small vignette finished in even 5 months. i had 3 tough months at work, but i will see it done and post pics once i'm finished. the actual status is at 80 %...

It's okay, Mike and Foxy. Real life sucks but...well...it's real life.

Speaking of the campaign, are there any ribbons out yet? I haven't seen mine in my account page.

@ Angela:
Great work on the jerrycan braces. Made from soda cans, you say? Did you cut them out or did you use scissors?

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the compliment. Yes, I made them from Coke soda cans. They're great for scratchbuilding. I use them because there's no photoetch products in my LHS.

I used small scissors. I haven't tried cutting them with my Xacto but I think it can be done.

Beautifull work! I like the camo, the rusty chain and the mud.
There are all very great entries in this campaign!

Hi!
@ Delbert; try some future first, perhaps it will help to blend the decals on the vehicle.

@ Angela: Andrew mentioned he will hand out the ribbons asap. I know his job is killing him at the moment, so we have to be patient for a while

@ Pat, Ian and Dave: very nice entries guys!

Me too. It's been quite a while and still no medals.
