110 members are enlisted to the campaing!
That looks great at campaing's profile but when you look to campaing's gallery your smile is gone. Only 9 participants have put ther their finished work so far.
These are:
Seuss95b
TheMedic,
Propnut 66
Plasticbattle,
Tumi,
Torchy,
SGTJKJ,
SGehling
and me.
There are also 3 entries without their pics in gallery. Red4, Dexter 059 and Hawkeye - please submit at least one picture of yours work to campaign's gallery. (Thank you)
The rest 98 enlisted, you have less than 40 days to finish your models.
What is your status? Does anyone need extension and eventually how much time do you need?
Hi Marcin, getting more work on mine done tonight so should be done and dusted in the next couple of weeks.

The Tamiya German 3.7cm FLAK 37 antiaircraft gun MIT Sd.Ah.52 that I am working on is almost complete. I have been working on the final touches today. Basically all I need to do is spray it with a coat of dull cote and I will be finished. I will be able to post a photo of the finished project today or tomorrow.
I was going to post another in progress photo but I got more done on it than I planned today.

My Flak 38 is painted and awaiting weathering only. However, I am again busy at work, so I might be one of those close to the deadline.
Shortly, I am here...

Here is my finished Tamiya German 3.7cm FLAK 37 antiaircraft gun MIT Sd.Ah.52. I enjoyed building the kit. It was very easy and straight forward. I didn't do much weathering on this kit. Most of my stuff always looks fairly new. I suppose due to the number of kill rings on the barrel I should have made it look more obvious that it has been used a lot.
Anyway here is my finished kit.
Towing position.
Firing position with ammo and gear.
Sorry for the blurry photos. I am still learning how to use a digital camera.
Thanks for looking.
Thank you for the campaign idea Marcin (WARLORD).

I Just joined.
I was a hobby shop today when I noticed a interesting vehicle. Its Dragons SA-9 Gaskin from way back in 1995. After opening the kit and looking at the sprues, I think its a reboxed kit, because there is a chunk of plastic with "REVELL AG" stamped onto it.
It will be marked as Soviet Naval Infantry. I know its's crunch time, but I can do it.
UPDATE:
Kit is assembled. I know it was quick but I dont think there was more than 120 parts to this kit. Plus the instructions had 8 steps...
Will be painted Pale Green. The missile tubes are all ready painted silver.

Hope you like it.

Been trying to get some done, but suddenly with the better weather, I have less time to work on kits. I will try to post some pics soon. I have the turret assembled and the upper and lower hulls done, but not combined. The real problem is I was only able to find 1 barrel. Still hoping I can find one this week. The kit barrels are very poor.

Just out of interest Sam, why did you stop working on the SdKfz7?

It was involved in an accident after one of the cadets I teach decided to pick it up and promptly dropped it.
Due to time constraints of this campaign ending and the amount of work that needed doing to it i.e scratch building missing parts and having to fully paint strip it, it was easier to start a new one as i really didnt want to rush the Sdkfz7 but have no fear it will appear hopefully soon.

With much regret I must withdraw from this campaign. Unfortunately, my work has overtaken my time at the bench in a significant way.
Good job to all those that have finished and good luck to those still grinding away. The entries so far have been very inspiring.
Warlord, great campaign.

Some nice entries have appeared. Good work everyone.
Zon, That's a pity you won't be able to finish the campaing. Maybe during next you will have more luck with your work.
Thanks

Very nice entries everybody.
@Samantha: sorry to hear about "combat" damage on the SdKfz. 7. Glad that you had time to participate anyway.
@AJM: nice Gaskin. Always loved those Soviet naval flags as markings. It seems like the frame with the missiles is bend upward. Is it supposed to be that way? Maybe it is just the angle of the picture...

That was an error on Dragons Part. They mislabeled the color as Pale Green, which is actually a East German color.

Ah I see, thanks for that info AJ, it seems that as good as Dragon are the instructions sometimes arent up to the mark....
