The problem was that the ribbon was a JPEG file while the campaign page needs a GIF file. In the graphics program I use, it is a simple matter of opening up the original and then using "Save As..." to convert it to whatever format I need. After that it is just a matter of following the directions in the thread for campaign leaders.
Huh Gary what was that sorry I only speak English But thanks for getting the ribbon up on the campaign page and thank you Kevin for your time and effort in creating the ribbon

Yeah.... My bad! I had to go back and read your orig post carefully, only to find that yes, you said you have the Dragon panzer 1A DAK it - which is one of those "SmartKit" things with the magictracks - while here it was I was thinking you were ref'ing the Dragon Panzer 1B DAK version kit, which is NOT "Smart" and does NOT have those magics! So off I went under auto-pilot accordingly!
So, no, don't worry. Your Pz. 1A kit is not up-dated - it's just the way it comes! It's just me who needs a little up-dating... This'll teach me to read ALL of the fine print before I leap!
Go, IV - vorpanzer! But do please allow yourself maybe a longish weekend for the build! You WILL have fun!
"Currently the free Dragon kits I have in my stash not committed to any campaigns are :" LOTS - way too many, in fact! I looked into my stash-closet and now believe that there is something weird going on in there when I'm not looking, like un-natural sex or something, as there are quite so many kits piled in there and most saying "build me!" I'll have to choose one eventually. "Eeny meanie miny moe...."

Nice kit Jeffrey. Will make for a nice vignette
Being a OOB campaign I might actually be able to finish this, but since I have great plans for all I have in my stash now, I will get something new. This of course creates the problem of choosing. Currently my mind is torn between these two:
Pzkpfw.III ausf.N w/ Schurzen
Pzkpfw. IV ausf.F2(G).
I don`t know a lot about these vehicles, except that Dragon tends to get the most details correct on their IIIs and IVs. Anyone can tell me more, I`m always happy to learn

I'm going for a Panther on this one ... F or D or II ... maybe the II, it's the Orange box so I'll keep it simple.

@Matt: I would suggest scratchbuilding it. There is very little out there that resembles typical italian churches. Reality in Scale might have some usefull stuff to help decorate it. Take your cue from less well known Churches like the San Antonio in Padova or the Santa Maria Maggiore in Ferentino. These follow the very common basilica model and smaller churches often had far simpler decoration than the famous ones like the Duomo in Milan, Florence or Siena.
@Sal: Yeah I read promising things about it, but I also like the stubby look of that Pz.III....ah the agony of choice
