Hi Sal, and all. I have been following this one as a fan (I started the one I'm currently on before Sept). Since there has not been much movement on here for a bit, I thought I might put up a couple photos that I have tred to model.

Any comments or suggestions on improvement are welcomed. Or if the Admin wants to take it off, that's ok too since I'm not actually in this group build. Looking forward to seeing more completed builds here, and looking forward to the next campaign like this so I can join up!

Currently working on this

Nice work Steve to bad there hasn't been more activity here You should have posted what you had done on your current project at the start of the campaign I probably would have accepted it, oh well but thanks again for sharing your work

Hi all,

i, did not came since a while but there were very good works here mates !

Here is my start, i'm in late but i hope to finish in time, i began the base and close to start the real sculpt work n my guy.
Here is the photo i use (for remembering):



And the base, tell me if the pose doesn't seems good before i go forward:








cheers

Nicolas,

Great picture! It looks like in the photo his arm is raised a bit higher. It's almost parallel to his nose. Not a big deal at all, but helps to show how big that bomb is in relation to the brave chap holding it.

Sculpting has always scared me. Kudos to you!

- Steve

Thanks a lot Steeve ,

you're absolutly right for his right arm, i will lower it.

Cheers

Nico,
Looking good, I'm glad to see someone is still working on their projects here

Hi Sal,

I'm going to have to admit defeat on this one. I have been plugging away at a build of "Ile De France", a French Sherman seen coming off an LST in Normandy, but it keeps getting bumped from the bench by other things (and suffering from general lack of time...). I doubt the construction phase will be done by March, let alone painting & figures. Oh, well...

Tom

Sorry to here that Tom sounded like it would be a nice build

Hi guys

Nice progress so far.

Paul (1721 Lancer) - well executed...love the build
Tom (barkingdigger) - sorry to hear that you're pulling out

As for me, the last month or so have been spent on finishing the LVTP5. Below are some shots

Chippings




Here is my finished build, complete with weathering










Could anyone advise me on how to upload the photos onto the gallery as their sizes exceed 2Mb. Thanks

Muhammad outstanding job and congratulations on your finish
Your photos are probably to big to post in the gallery and may have to be compressed
Also take a look at this link as Jim gives a step by step

Hope that helps

Muhammad: thanks mate it was good fun trying something totally wild like that.
It´s a shame you build wasn´t finished on the 25 of Dec.
Still I ike it, certainly different too.
Paul

@Sal - thanks for the compression tip...it works wonders. The photos have been successfully uploaded on the Campaign tread

@Paul - to be perfectly honest, I did try to aim for the 25th.Dec but unfortunately, things cropped up. I had to put the model on the back burner until the New Year. Nevertheless, i'm pleased with the way it turned out

I've been watching this one and have enjoyed seeing all of your work.

Hi all,

Muhammad: very well done, it looks like the pic, congrats !

Here are some pics from my progress:






Cheers

Hey Folks
Nicolas bomb guy looks like he is coming along nicely and Steve treated us to some of his own Modeling a photo that didn't qualify for the campaign
But we have only 2 weeks left here, I not seeing much progress and only 3 people have completed builds in the campaign Gallery
So unless someone is in dire need of an extension it looks like we will be wrapping this 1 up on the 15th

Hi,

thanks Sal for the com .

Well, i don't think i'll need an extension, the bomb is done and ready to paint, as for the Pith Helmet and the guy received the humbrol base paint before oils...

Here are some pics:













Cheers
nico

Hi Nico,
I need your talent dude, that is just super cool

Paul

Thanks a lot Paul

Cheers
nico

@ Nico - I agree with Paul....that is one nicely sculpted figure and bomb. Wish I have a talent like yours

@The rest of the guys - only 10 days to go. Love to see more builds for the campaign

Hi all,

here are some pics of my fig and bomb paint work in progress:

cheers

Sorry Fellas, I'm out.
Not enough time coupled with the fact that I just couldn't find that one photo to trip my trigger left me stranded on this one.
Nico, your sculpting is great.
Thanks for running this Sal,
Charlie
