I have finished the model, but I am having problems uploading to the website.
I keep getting this error message.
Error creating thumbnail! Error code: 1
Command:
"/usr/bin/mogrify" +profile "*" -size 0x150 -quality 70 -geometry 0x150 '/home/gallery3/public_html/data/500/thumbs/Left-Front2.jpg'
Any thoughts on how to show my finished model?
Thanks,
Tom Moon

Our server move did not go as smooth as we hoped. I am also getting this when uploading. *sigh*

Further progress on the rough shape. Won't put an interior, so painted the inside black...



No hope of any details or paint by Saturday the 30th of June, but after the campaign concludes, I'll continue until my build is done, probably on a separate thread. Like most, I have other campaigns to get on with after this one.

Congratulations to all who have finished (and those who will finish by tomorrow). Some great builds here. As I said before Mark’s HET stands out for me. We have seen a few excellent builds of the kit in this site. Oh for a British version!
Well, I have not fully finished mine, but at least I actually built the LAV, which is further than I progressed in the last campaign I entered. This is how it stands today. Brush painted in Humbrol enamels and varnished ready for weathering. I intend to add it to a little vignette with a load for the crane and a figure.

Thanks. Yes the green is brush painted. Two coats, possibly three, if I recall, as a base colour with brown and grey on top. They went on quite well, but the sealing varnish, also brushed on, has introduced some dust.

Awesome work all around, guys!
I haven't officially joined the Get 'Er Done 2 campaign, but I'll take my build over there and finish by the new year.
Thanks again for this awesome campaign, and I'll catch you all on the next one!

I echo Tom's comments. Thanks for help, and general advice, whilst the server was being changed.
