NIce work guys,
Rick, nice work on the KadettI like it is a nice build remember to post up your picks in the galley.
Jason, sorry to see your bail out but it is understandable that you are felling pressured to complete build and that you do not want to compromise on the quality of your models.
Jan, your Cha Ha is coming along nicely well done I am looking forward to the completed build.
Stephen, again sorry to see you go sometimes we all bite off more than we can chew good luck with your other builds.
Tom, interesting subject is that TV show aired over in the US?
Easy8, looking forward to your T34 it looks to be a very nice kit good luck.

Scott,
Shaun the Sheep is aired worldwide and origninated for Great Britain.
The kit is an Airfix kit and I could only find it in Great Britain, therefore the shippng cost was more than the model.
This will still be a fun build. I had a great time with the AntiPesto Van and have won some awards with it.
Thanks,
Tom

After a weekend of work here is the completed T-34, still needs a couple of small parts but that will require reference pics and finding the parts on the sprues... why can dragon not produce better instructions?? And I still have the tracks to go but am putting them off since I do not like the link Magic track link mess that I always end up with.

Looks good easy8'dont sweat the T-34 magic tracks,for me they were my first attempt and probably the easiest because of the makeup of the tank.

Here are some more in progress shots.
I tried to use Alcad chrome on the wheels, bumpers and other items.
It looks okay where the item is not smooth, but where the item is perfectly smooth, it looks great. I have learned a valuable lesson here.

@Tom: Nice work on the porkers Tom ..... bacon anybody? Or a nice side of Lamb? The Landrover is looking great too Tom! I can smell the exhaust and sheep poo from here!
@Joel: Excellent work on the Priest Joel. Got to admit that sometimes the instructions from the likes of Dragon and Trumpeter can be the undoing of an excellent kit! You really need to look hard at the fit of the parts and have plenty of reference photo's on hand! You've done an excellent job of it! I like the dot (?) filtering too!

Wow! There is some great stuff getting posted here, and I'm lagging behind (as usual...) Here are a few snaps of the Bronco 17pdr Pheasant barrel assembly - the breach opens and the gun can slide backwards (with a bit of brute force), but these gimmicks will be fouled up by paint because the fit is so tight. Still, it is a real beauty!
I've had to re-manufacture a tiny lever on the breach from white scrap plastic because the microscopic PE part went orbital from the jaws of my tweezers - does this disqualify me from being OOB?

Hi guys,
Sadly I won't be able to finish my first Bronco kit for this Campaign, a sdkfz.221.
I was planning a early Polish campaign German version kit.
I enlisted to late and already with a bunch of Campaigns on the bench, then real life messed with my kit schedule...
I know it's still a whole month for this one but even if I had only this Campaign going one .. I might not finish it...
Bummer, another one for the "half-done future Campaigns".

Here is my finished entry into the OOB campaign.
Shaun the Sheep LandRover and friends.

This was a change of pace build. Thanks for the fun

Here is my finished build for this campaign: The WH40k Leman Russ build straight OOB of course.
I might use this tank for wargaming down the road, so I finished all the different weapon options for it as well. It works simply by pulling of weapons and inserting new weapons in the slots.
Fun to participate and see so many diverse builds for this campaign.
Comments welcome

Wow! LOTS of cool stuff and loads of energy going 'round here!
Shaun hits the SPOT, TMoon! I'm an old Wallace n Grommit fan and this just rips! I can smell the manure from here.... baaaaah, baaa-aaah! sheepish grins and all that
NICE job on the Priest! Always sweet to see something come along from a newer Dragon kit - and always cool to see someone win over Mr. D's penchant for unfriendly instructions to foul otherwise stellar kits!
Sadly, I never got off the ground (OK, outta the box) on my ambitioned-for OOTB for this campaign... and don't have time now! But... there's the upcoming Dragon OOTB campaign and I'm sure there'll be another go-round of this one sometime!
Keep 'em coming! I'm enjoying all the fine work being shown here!

Since I was a bit late enrolling and posting the first pics I have the T-34 finished. Did not come out exactly the way I wanted it to, the streaks were too dark so I had to make it a very dusty/dirty tank to blend things in. In the end if you look close you can see all the work but most of the modulation and preshading went away.... maybe next time...
Here are the pics, magic link mess and all, ended up almost redoing the whole left run after the weathering was on... not fun
Minus the my issues with the tracks it is a pretty good kit, I am looking foward Jacques's version of this kit (from the Soviet forum) Over all it was fun, and a good idea for a campaign. Thanks for letting me enter.

Thanks for the comments, guys. Appreciate it.
Very nice finish on the T-34, Easy8. Nicely worn without being overdone. Great job.

@esay8: Yup you'll need to post at least one pic of your completed model photographed against a plain background and put it in the campaign gallery follow this link.

He built two of them, one for this and one for "What If". Turret numbers are different.
