That is my SKP's I Humber Scout Car.
Parts don't fit well so I need some putty to make model look better.
I changed a shovel and added helve for pickaxe. It wasn’t in box but I noticed it at pictures.
For painting and marking I'm going to use Polish scheme.

Hi kids...
Just signed up for this campaign. I'm going to enter my Canadian Army Cougar. I think I'm going to show it as a UN vehicle in Bosnia but not sure yet, Here's a couple of WIP pics....
It's the Best Value Models kit from Azimut and has some resin parts, the Revell LAV 25 (shortened) hull and the AFV Club Scorpion turret. More later...

Well here is my AFV Club Stryker. She's wearing paint and stowage now but my camera died. Will post some updated pics when I can. The stowage is from Blast (sets 1 and 2) along with some from the ol' spares box. I might add a couple of crew figures too.

Bob, Your Cougar is looking great. It looks like its quite a conversion
Matt, man I would love to get my hands on that kit....and a few hours of spare time. Hope your camera revives soon.

Well thanks to my sister's camera I can update my wip pics. This is how my AFV Club Stryker looks as of right now. I guess I must have painted it the right colour as it blends in well with the background. Camo really works! Still a ways to go but getting there.

nice work! but pay attention to the front line it must be sanded to complete a perfect line, the rest is perfect for me

That front line is actually gonna be covered by another piece yet to be added so you won't see it when its all done. Overall, the kit fits together really well. AFV Club did a great job with this one.

I have now finished my BTR-80 in Russian 3 colour camouflage with shark teeth markings. I kept the weathering light to show of the shark teeth markings
It is the Zvezda 1/35 kit that comes together quite well and with reasonable detail. The figure is a Russian crew figure from the spares box.
I am quite satisfied with the result.
It is really a well run campaign so far and It has been great fun to participate in the campaign.

Wow, its great to see all these great models being built. Gary your BTR turned out great. Do you happen to know what the Arabic says?
Jeff, I don't know exactly what it says but I believe I read somewhere the Syrians celebrate their Martyrs and name the vehicles after those fellows. I believe I bought the decals off Ebay from Decalcomaniancs.
Thanks for your comments and the best to Gary (Troubble27) and his family...

God bless Eduard. I downloaded the instructions from their webpage. I built up everything in the Rover, up to the point of the extra PE parts, and now I'm waiting again for the Eduard set to arrive.

Here's a few more WIP shots of my Cougar....
Model master gunship gray in a rattle can for a primer coat. Still some details left to go and then the painting starts. Lots of fun, this one...

Bob, that looks great! It will be a fine entry into the campaign.
I am looking forward to see it with the final paint coat on.

I agree, Bob that is amazing. I especially like the Moon camo scheme, it'd hide well there
Ok, so I need some help guys. I need to make a campaign ribbon, but I am having a creativity block, plus school is rearing its huge head, so here i the deal: I'm opening it up to everyone here. It needs to be 50x20 pixels. The one that we think best looks embues the.....essence of the campaign is the one I'll use. So go to it.

Here are the ribbons from the first two campaigns Top one was created by the former MrRoo (ala Cliff Hutchings...anyone heard anything from him or is his name still taboo?) from the first Move It and the other was by me from Move It Again. Just in case it helps:

Hi Jeff,
I'm gonna hook up with this one...my first campaign. Gotta start sometime. I think I'm gonna work on something quick since I got a late start...probably pretty much OOTB. Might do a an Italeri jeep with some brass thrown in for the Ma Duece. Should be a quick build no???

I wouldn't worry too much about getting done. Still got lot's of time left. I personally have only seen Tamiya's Jeep done up. Curious to see Italeri's. Good luck with your build.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the well wishes...I'm ready to start...blew the dust off the Italeri box and found my stash of Collectors Brass accessories that I misplaced ( funny how one loses track of things when they stuff it in "safe" places) . Will post pics as soon as I'm done and when I figure out how to exactly do that???

Well as far as posting pics it's pretty staright forward. First you have to store your pics online somewhere. I just put mine at the kitmaker site. Just click on the photos link near the top of the page. Upload your pictures there and then when you want to post a picture just copy the UBB code that is at the bottom of the picture and paste that in your reply . At least that's how I do it and it has worked so far. Hope some of that makes sense.
