22nd June 2008 – exactly 67 years after the start of fighting on the Eastern Front, 121 modellers started their work on depicting weapons used by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during the war between these two countries. On The Eastern Front campaign has very simple rules resulting in many different entries focused on miscellaneous types of vehicles and weapons – from tanks through cars, motorcycles and artillery to Panzerfausts and heavy machine guns. The rules of the campaign allowed scales from 1/6 to 1/72.

This is the first On Display feature Armorama has done that is a round up of a campaign, if the membership enjoy this type of on display all future campaigns will be highlighted here as they finish. Please let us know what you think.

Hello,

"Please let us know what you think"

Very good idea.

It matches my idea of using and optimizing the synergies this side ('armorama') provides.

Excellent idea! It is good to see so many great models and really supports the whole campaign idea.

It was a joy to participate and a joy to see all the models in one place.

More of that in the future!

Glad to see the campaign Wrap up idea on Armorama. It gives everyone a shot at having ther work seen by more people. Good to see so many builds get done!

Nicely done, great idea!

I agree, a fine idea. Condensing that campaign must have been a monumental task, but the results are well worth it.

Hello Darren,
I can only fully support this idea!!!

I realise that it probably will be a lot of work for those behind the screens, but it will be a lot of fun for those in front of it!!!

Hi
Thats a very good way to finish up a campaign. I like it.

Great idea, it's nice to see a 'summary' of the campaign......hopefully more will follow. Big thanks to Andrzej, Mark and Darren for going the extra mile on this one

I just want to wholeheartedly agree!!! Excellent job by all involved, heck of a lot of fun too.
The summary is a great idea!

CMOT,
Outstanding idea! I thought it was very cool seeing this campaign presented as a feature when I logged on this morning. It gave me a chance to see all the other models people completed during the campaign. I hope this continues!

Wow! What an excellent idea. To see the results of the entire campaign is simply incredible. I enjoyed participating in this campaign, and my hat's off to my fellow participants. Great work everyone!

Thanks Guys for the feature.
Easily accessible to show off some of the greats builds that were presented.
.

I am pleased this is so popular, and I am pleased to have been of help. Mark deserves the praise for asking me to do it , and Andrzej for supplying the material to me.

Really good idea, this is the best way I feel to display all the great models that builders made to participate in a campaign.

Well done Armorama!!


Bob

great models, great idea great way to see a finnished campain! Thanks Geraint

Some very nice work on display there and it's nice to see it show-cased all in one spot. Hopefully this is something that will continue for the future, a lot of good stuff goes on in the Campaigns area but doesn't get the exposure unless you go down there on a regular basis as a participant.

I agree with the others.A great way to finish. One of the main reasons I love this site is to see the contribution done by others, others that is besides just professional modelers.Well done.

I really liked seeing everything done for this campaign. Great idea and excellent work by all.

Great work guys, and a big congrats to all who finished, and are included in the feature.


Most definately. Im surprised its not been thought of before. This has to be easiest decision ever .. content for the site, as well as the ultimate reward for those taking part. Its also great to see so many new names included. Hopefully this will be a first step to getting more involved.

Great work!!!! Nice to see it presented in this format. To William Bradley, Totally dug the paint job on yours. How did you acheive that paint job?

I have nothing to say that hasn't been said already-- excellent idea, nicely executed!

The photo recap is an excellent idea. I would like to see a brief paragraph by the creator of each model detailing the subject, unit, location, date, and a brief history of the vehicle. I am not talking about a blow by blow build up, just 50 to 100 words on each model to provide context, sort of like the photo caption from a Concord book.

Example: "Porsche Tiger 003, Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion 653, Army Group Center, July, 1943. Though most Porsche Tiger chassis were used for Ferdinand production, a single vehicle was completed as a command tank and shipped to the Eastern Front at the request of Sw.Pz.Jgr.Ab. 653. The tank fought for approximately two months before disappearing from the unit roster, presumed lost."

Excellent work, all around!
