Alex T love it mate, you're showing good scratch skills and good painting skills

, stick at it there's not much time left
E-Man great looking build and the interior looks superb

.
O.K there isn't much time left on here so does anyone need an extension?
I am not talking about weeks, only about days

, like 5 at the most.
Let me know what you think, and I'll check it with John.

A 5 day extension would be most welcome!
Some progress; Everything together, I'd already finished painting the lower hull, here the upper hull has its base coat of burnt umber.

Next was a coat of Tamiya Dark Yellow

Then German Gray for the cammo spots. Still need to tidy things up and then weather.

I wasn't real sure about the German gray spots on the yellow base (technically I guess its the yellow over the Panzer gray base)but now that I see it I kind of like it.

I'm impressed by the work of the other campaigners.

Hi there, I have just put a request in for an extension. The campaign will be run until the 11th of October 2014.
Tom nice build

John your Panzer III is fantastic dude

, just add some dusting and maybe a bit of bare metal and it'll be perfect
Sal nice to hear from again dude

, and sorry to hear your not so well

. The best thing to do is get your feet up and let Mrs Sal take care of you for a while

. You'll see it works a treat and you fighting fit in no time

.
Guy tat was one mighty leap forward dude

Take your time lads you'll get the extension so don't rush stuff now.

Hi Paul, Hi guys,
Thanks a lot for the postponement of the deadline for this campaign. I was very busy and unfortunately I didn't spent so much time on my little Lorraine.
But now I'm running again. She will be ready to join the DAK during next week.
Actually construction is finished and proceed with primer:

Keep in touch
