Great job Paul and Sean nice finish to both

@ Zon looking good there keep at it
Ok I just checked the gallery we have 10 people not including Paul above who have finished and posted photos in the gallery. We have 67 enlistee, so wee need you guys to get those kits finished only 25 days left the clock is ticking

I've faced some issues with the 1/72 Hummel kit from Dragon. My kit did not have the guide slots on the hull that would allow precise placement of braces to hold the side armor plates that would form the fighting compartment. I reckon that figuring this our on my own would take me longer time to build this kit. Hence I decided to put this kit in storage and deal with it at a later time.
I decided to switch to the Italeri 1/72 Bishop Mk. 1 kit:
Will commence build by today:
This kit was first made by ESCI. Below are the sprue shots:
Now off to the bench to start my build! Will be posting my progress in the coming days...

Hello Gents,
I was originally doing this....
but I've mislaid the instructions (and I can't keep looking otherwise I'll run out of time), so I'm gonna build this instead.....
Hopefully it'll be a quick build and paint, be making a start as soon as I've posted this, gotta get on.....

Hi all,
had a busy morning at the bench, although I have to say, building this little gun isn't very taxing, but here's my progree so far, I don't think I've ever built something so quickly.....

Well here is my finished M109A3 in the Danish paint scheme. The basic paint job was airbrushed Tamiya paint (NATO black) and some original Danish Army green paint. For weathering I used Vallejo products more or less as describe in Mig Jimenez’s DVD “AFV arcrylic techniques”.
I aimed for a vehicle that already had spent some days at a live firing exercise and therefore showed some mud and dust.
I’ve promised to show some photos of the interior, however, I do not have the skills to do so. Only one picture turned out acceptable.
I’ll have to ask for some help here at the end. I’ve previously gone this fare in a campaign but never received a badge. I’ve noticed that a reminder of loading pictures in an album is a condition to get the badge. Would someone please give instructions on this?

Well Sal mate you said i had to work quickly on that 1 ,order heard and understood , and here's the pics to prove it 
All in all less than 14 hours to build the worst kit i have ever worked on ,,I'll explain that more in detail in a mo ,,but here's the pics
Now about this kit ,, imagine a kit where 99% of everything didn't fit properly, imagine a kit where quality control doesn't exist and you have a pretty good idea what this one is like .
I will never build this kit again and the barrel i replaced is wasted with this alloy one , that is the best part of the entire kit .
I will finish it for this campaign but what happens to it after this i do not care , i am so going to get the Trumpeter one that will make me feel better

Here's my update for this week on my 1/72 Bishop Mk.1:
1) I started assembly of individual sections of this kit:
a) the 25lbs gun:
b)The turret and Hull:
2) Later this week, I've completed assembly of the different sections and got them spray-painted with grey primer:
a) The Gun Section:
b) Lower Hull and Running Gear:
c) Underneath of the Upper Hull:
Will be painting these sections then assemble the tracks with the Running Gear and hopefully get this model completed by next week.

Jason: always good to have extra artillery lying around The build looks good.
Phil: you're a mad-man. she's looking good at the end of the day though!
Kenneth: the M109 looks really good. I particularly like the muzzle cover.
Marcos: coming along nicely.
Happy Modeling, -zon

I just found this build but realize that I'm late to the party. I have a Revell Snark (box scale) that I would like to build. I believe it is 1/80 scale, is it acceptable as a build for this Campaign? It (certainly was designed to make a loud boom from a couple of thousand miles).
Thanks,
Brent Arritt

Brent, The SM-62 Snark was a intercontinental cruise missile with a nuclear warhead. Artillery is more of an infantry support weapon, which I dont think you would want you infantry near a nuclear warhead. So that fgacy coupled with the fact that there are only 11 days left in the campaign i am going to have to say that the SM-62 Snark does not qualify here, sorry

Brent,
There are plenty of campaigns to get pulled into, as you're finding out, I'm sure.
I don't see anything else immediately for the Snark, but wait a year or two and something always comes up.
Cheers!
