Well, this is what it looked like at the end of the APC/AFV Campaign back in June.

This is what it looked like this afternoon




BMP-1 is a Zvezda kit, with Modelpoint replacement barrel, Armorscale antenna mount, and Masterclub tracks. Everything went together well, although the replacement track was exceptionally troublesome to attach - the resin track links kept seperating as the pins were often not strong enough to take the tension when the track was wrapped around the drive sprocket/idler/road wheels. Lots of glue and some alcohol finally got the job done.
Might add a bit more dirt to it, but at this point, I'm calling it done!

At last I can this one is DONE! There was a moment during the build when I thought it will not happen in my life. The paint is may be still wet somewhere. More pictures I will try to do tommorow and then I'll publish them here if you wish.

So is the campaign still going for this day? I already thought it ended because I noticed it was gone from the 'campaigs' page's listing. Phew!
I'm about this close [holds thumb and index finger tips together] to completion.

Here is my entry...an old Tamiya jagdpanzer IV that was sitting around for the last year or so that was half painted. So she's now finished...for the time being. I found an old Mongram figure from the model building days of my youth and thought it was appropriate to add it given the theme of the build.
Thanks everyone !

Done!
There's still a few things I want to do, but since I'm running out of time (gotta get in time to a concert, new year's celebrations, what have you), I'll call this one finished.
I'll post more and better pics to the
build thread.
Thanks for running the campaign!

I'm afraid my Tamiya M5A1 Stuart will have to wait for a future "Get the Job Done" campaign to be finished. The great thing was that this campaign did get me a bit farther along!

I'm afraid I have to bail on this also. We just moved into a new house and I'm still unpacking and fixing the place up a little. I enjoyed watching everyone's progress.

Thank you Matthew for the campaign and the ribbon and of course thank you all for participation. It was my first campaign since I registered in Kitmaker and have to say it was a great fun for me. It was probalby the one and only motivation for me to get this model done. Well, maybe there should be the same campaign on Aeroscale 'cos I still have a few airplanes to be done

Well, time got away from me, and being away from my workbench for the last 10 days of the year didn't help either.... My Cromwell is still in the weathering stages. I will post some pictures of it here when it's done.
That said though, I really have to thank Matt for hosting this campaign. It is the reason why I started to really get into modeling again, so I'm not too disappointed I didn't finish. In addition, it's always great to see what others are doing and learn from that. A campaign like this one also goes to show the variety of subjects that everyone models.
Happy New Year everyone!

Many thanks Matthew for a great campagin and finally getting me to finish off a couple of models that have been sitting around in my semi-completed stash for some 20 plus years
Once again many thanks for all your time and effort in running a very successful campagin.
cheers
