I may or may not have access to a camera to show that my Steur is done. Just placing on finishing touches, weathering and such. I presume that the end date is Dec 1. If that is so, may I have an extension? Thanks.
As for the devine items shown so far are a sight for sore eyes. Very well done renditions. Hopefully most of you are not too stuffed from thanksgiving to do some modeling.

Very good looking StuG, Robert!
Current status on my Pz II:
Dry fitting the turret and upper hull at the moment. Almost destroyed my model when I made the hole in the bottle of Zap glue too big. Still some sanding left on the fenders, but overall good progress.
It's great to have my camera back, and I found a new lense on sale last week. It sure beats taking photos with my smartphone.

Hi Everyone.
Thought I may as well join in the fun as a break from aircraft and ships.
Originally I was going to build this one..

It has been in my stash for decades..

Wow! A price tag.. and only $7.20. Things were a bit more affordable in the 1970s.
I hadn't looked in the box for a very very long time and when I did I found none of the bags had been opened.

I just couldn't bring myself to ruin something a collector may want by opening the bags, so I found another one in the stash to build..

No probs here as the bags have disappeared!
These parts had parted company with the sprues.

I am not sure why there are four runs of track in the box..

And the front page of the instructions

This one is going to be OOB. I have oodles of Panzer IVs in the stash and this one will be just a fun, easy panzer grey build for this campaign.
Regards
Warren

Nice choice Warren,
might not be up to the latest standards, but it´s pure fun to build...
have build one in the early configuration, but I guess that I have to build another one in the later version, too

Good progress Vegard on the Panzer II. Hey was really worried when Trevor said 1st Dec. Phew glad you read that wrong.
I have done a fair bit of work on the base for the Tiger I and need to get fired into the figures too. Please feel free to comment on the arrangement of the figures and number of them. Not sure it is working.






The mechanic is back in the spares box, as you can see it would be a little cold for short sleeve order.
I have 2 winter clad soldiers with machine gun and panzer faust who will be standing next to the other one next to the tank.
Cheers Pete

Thanks for the update. I just wrote down the end month and not the full date. Having a job that requires me to be away for days does make it harder to build and finish kits. Camera is back will get photos up soon.

Nearly there with the panther

Just a coating of dust

And a coat of matt varnish

Should have it finished in time.

Some great modelling going on in this campaign

Cheers Martin

Brilliant work as usual in here, the Brummbär is all but finished, waiting for a nice opportunity to take some nice photos for the gallery.
I was planning on adding a crew man but right now i'm swamped with uni work and trying to finish several other builds so he shall have to remain unpainte din the crew box for a while and I shall call this one done.
Cheers

Peter, I think that some figures acting as a crow, works. Less the mechanic...maybe near the engine the temp rises a lot! hehehe.
Nice Panther Martin! I like the finish, and nice Brümbar Tristan
Regards, Alvaro

I'm in with Dragons IV H with zimm

you can see the posts above in the photo. I'm thinking this should be the final build of 2013.

Thanks Alvaro was thinking the the same. Losing the mechanic. Will add the 2 alongside the Tiger.

Greetings,
Very nice builds going on here! I have some more progress to report. I've applied camouflage (brush) and soon will be spraying a light filter of Tamiya Dark Yellow. The road wheels are done and only have to be separated from the sprue then touched up. More to follow...

Many thanks Peter, Alvaro, and Anthony.
There are some superb builds going on in this campaign.
I admire the late starters, with Christmas looming I wouldn't want to be starting now.
looking forward to the final results of this campaign
regards
Martin

Hey noddy, I don't know about the rest of the figures, but have to say, I love the classic Wittmann pose of Commander sitting on the barrel.
