I couldnt see a subcategory for this particualr mission, so hopefully you guys check this one. I have two to submit. I missed this campaign until now, so sorry I dont have any progress photos for these ones.

First off my M1A1-HA Abrams.
http://public.fotki.com/Johnston-RCR/m1a1ha/
It is the Dragon model with crew, built OOB. It is hand painted, mostly before assemly with small touchup painting afterwards. The decals are straight from the box, but arranged how I wanted them to look instead of representing any real vehicle. The figures are OOB, and also handpainted (although I forgot to do the skintone...oops) The rank and unit decals on their shoulders are ordered from http://store.quartermastersdepot.com. For my painting I just use testors and a small brush, and as of right now I havent weathered any of my vehicles.

Second is my LAV-25

This one is from Trumpeter, and did come with 4 marines, but they arent included in the photo as I am just starting them. Again, straight OOB with decals more to how I like it then represntative of any real vehicle. Hand painted as always, with testors paints and unweathered. I think the simplicity of this one bored me, because in december I was about half way through, but set it aside to complete an Oshkosh truck and M110 SP howitzer. Finally finished it up this week.

Edit: for some reason the links were not working with hotlinks, so I had to put it in normal type, which means copy and paste, sorry guys. Dont know why the one works, but the two to the pictures dont.

Pics don't show and links don't work. Same thing for your HEMMT post.

Thanks. I didnt even notice until you said it. I think it may be the site Im trying to link to, so Im going to look into another place to host my photos. Its weird because the one to the Quartermasters deopt does work, but even trying to redo the others didnt work.

Don't you realize that you get personal gallery space as a member here? Click on the "my photos" link at the bottom of one of your posts to access your personal gallery. You may need to log into the kitmaker network with your Armorama user ID and password.

also dont forget that once you upload the photo into your gallery space, you would have to move some photos over to the Modern Armored Subjects Campaign Gallery.

The awards would be presented out based on the submissions in that Gallery. Let me know if you need help doing so.

Thank you very much. Im still pretty new to doing vehicles, so that is a huge compliment. Although I will admit I put too much glue on the windows of the truck, and it shows around the edges.
And thank you for linking it right, I have no idea why it wouldnt work for me, but Im sure many others will find it helpful

Yup just replied again. I get that everytime i log onto Kitmaker. The fault is partly due to the cookies not being refreshed hence why it doesnt recognised that you are logged in even though you went through the log on process.

Click refresh after you logged on. Works for me everytime.

Thanks to excellent adivice and directions from jazza (thank you again) the pictures should now be in the proper location for this campaign, and my submission for "wheels: move it again" is also in the right place.

I would like to thank all of the members of Amorama, who have been so helpful and patient with a new member like me. Thanks everyone.

no worries. With you having this similar problem that im having, it kinda concludes that the Kitmaker site is not refreshing / sending out the updated cookies.

Having to click refresh everytime forces the updates.
