Mike,
You could re-post the already posted pictures. I'm not sure how much work that would be for you. For an easier alternative, I would suggest is that you just post a link to the album and just post the individual links to any new pictures. That seems like the easiest fix. There's nothing in the rules that say that you have to have an extensive build log...there's no mention of it being mandatory to post any WIP pix. But yeah I'd post the album link and then just post the pictures from now on.
Yes, there is language used that suggests that WIP pictures are a given http://armorama.com/forums/160011&page=1 but they are not laid out in EVERY Campaign Rules (because it would get too redundant) so the rules don't scare participants away. I would also suggest NO LINKS but use images in your Campaign thread, this keeps the viewers at the thread and makes the whole thread a useful tool as it was intended. There are no mandatory count of pictures required but it is a given we see some steps leading up to the finished project. It's not a case of showing each part cemented, but we will not allow a start photo, 2 or 3 WIP photos and then it's finished.
So Mike, give us as many WIP progress pictures that you can and let John and I decide what's next.
And welcome back Marco! We all knew you could do it... there's plenty of time and what you have looks good!
And Alex... you should let the Campaign Leader and/or the Campaign Manager answer such questions. I also believe you should try to lead a Campaign yourself (since you like answering questions) and get the feel of what it takes to do so.

Jeff, just trying to save you from pulling more hair out. I gave Mike two suggestions. I didn't say for him to do one or the other...it was a suggestion. So much for trying to be helpful. I've commented on questions people have had and have ever had an issue.
From now on I won't.

Sorry, guys, it can get a bit confusing for me here in inter-thread-land. ... Monty Python quote: "Getting better." 
Jeff,
In order to validate my enlistment, I have reposted some of my missing images below. In addition, I've uploaded three completed build images to the KitMaker 'Extreme Trucks' Campaign Gallery as suggested.
Start date image.
Initial damage.
Primer.
Dremel Tool madness!
Vallejo 'Desert Sand' Earth Effects and subtle application of Vallejo 'European Dust' Model Wash.
Base form.
Base ring construction.
Paper Soviet Stars.
'Out of GAZ' ... final resting place!
Are we having fun yet?!

Oh boy, YES... I am having fun, despite the little distraction.
Got this in the mail yesterday... and I am pumped about it too.
Had to let a few 'boxes' cure before I moved onto the launcher platform...
I am proceeding FORWARD now during the race (and that there is a race party going on RIGHT NOW in my living room) I am dedicated in getting this one finished!

AND, BTW Alex you are so wrong in your statement here. In the rules on this 'Extreme Truck Campaign' it states: "MUST show progress pictures too! This is essential!" http://armorama.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Campaigns&file=index&req=showcontent&id=706
This is why I posted what I did. Just so everyone else sees you were wrong, incorrect and out of place with your intervention. Leave these matters to the Campaign Manager or the Campaign Leader.

Jeff, you're right about the WIP in the rules. I worded it wrong in my response to Mike....I'm going to blame the late hour that I posted. What I meant to say was that he had already posted them and actually has a build log elsewhere to to show and prove his work.
In the context of his problem it doesn't matter. His question was on how to handle the broken links. My suggestion was to link to the album and then post any new pictures in to the thread. The other, to simply repost the entirety of the WIP pictures. I wasn't making a ruling, just a suggestion to his problem.
All that said, the issue will take care of itself. I don't know what your deal is with me, nor do I really care. It seems like you go out of your way to make issue of some of my posts. I don't care about it enough to get into a spitting contest over it. I think it'd be best to simply not have to deal with you.
As far as this campaign goes, I'm finished and am waiting for it to end. My Studebaker is finished and the pictures have been in the Gallery for a good bit. With the exception of the Panther Campaign, I think I've pulled out of all of your other campaigns. I'm staying in that one because I already have the kit I plan on using.

Yeah Mike, inter-thread land is bumpy sometimes !
Nice work on the diorama base, what materials did you use ?
You could use some darker colours to match the muddy roads of the Russian lands, it looks great but a bit to desert/sand tone.
@ Alex & Jeff
Some Campaigns have the WIP ruling other don't.
For some members 3 or 5 are enough, I'd like to be more than that, but that's just me.
I understand that posting the link to the album would be easier, the photos Mike posted are more than enough.
There's no need for a Campaign thread War over these issues.
Take care guys, great builds so far if anyone needs an extension just let me know ok ?

John,
No problem. I made a mistake on the initial post and I admitted it. I was helping Mike with a couple of suggestions he could utilize. I thought more was made of it than should have been. It probably should have gone to PMs instead of being out in public. Beyond that, I really don't care enough to argue over it.

Thanks to John (Nito74) as always for his endless help and dedication.
When you guys have the time, drop him a line and thank him for running this Campaign area so smooth and trouble free.
He IS a volunteer and does NOT get paid.

Actually it's supposed to be an underwater wreckage scene -- the bottom of Lake Ladoga. Refer: p.18, August 06, 2014 post.
Here are the material/construction notes:
BTW: Great builds in the Gallery, guys -- keep up the good work!

Finally managed to do a light wash that was not too OTT. I'm calling her done!
Will get some decent posed shots for the gallery tomorrow.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Whew, another done......

Nice work Sean! I want one of these now after seeing yours built!
Here's my latest WIP picture... you know the ones that are supposed to be required. 
Giving it a whirl tonight as an all out assault will be launched on the kit.

Nice truck Sean!
Well I can't work in my second project almost done, the GMC, as I pick up a flu, due the cold temps here!
But if the trheat its open for a while maybe I can paint the canvas and declare it done the next week end.
Regards from the bed, here in the south!

Getting well and taking care of your health is what's most important Alvaro.
Later on tell me how your feeling and then show me & John what you have so far on your project.
