Georg,

Curious what you used for the tracks. Looks like a great base coat that will really stand out once they're dirtied up a bit.

Started working on the tracks last night. A horrible experience I may say, though patience still prevailed. A couple of gaps in the hull for putty work, then it should be ready for the paintshop. Cheers

Mark,
I base coated the tracks with black auto primer and then gave the tracks a random squiggle pattern of of Tamiya hull red, red-brown and NATO brown. I haven't done more with it yet, but it'll get a dark wash and light metallic drybrush before the week is out.
Regards,
Georg

So that is mine contribution to the campaign. Today is 75 years since World War II started so i am going to build Polish 7TP dw, twin turret version of pretty good Polish tank 7TP. I am going to use Mirage 1/35 kit, which is far from being accurate, but it is the only one on the market. Also i am going to use resin towers made by Commandares Models and trucks made by RPM, which are the must if you want to build it.

Finally work progresses on my M41 build. I have the tracks on (woo hoo! Never getting AFV Club tracks ever again!) and all I have left to do is put the tow cable on. I'm currently painting it. I put a base of Testors Steel down and I'm darkening it with dips in MM Graphite Metallic. Coming out pretty good so far.

Mike,
Looking good! Are those my decals?
Regards,
Georg

Nope. Those are the kit decals. VERY thin. I'm missing the other US Army decal on the right side because it tore.

Well I'm trucking along. The 41 has had a filter, dry brush and then a gloss coat and pin wash. Decals next more weathering and hopefully completion.

Also thanks to Georg for his decals giving me many more options.

Ok. The M41 is finished..50 is on, cable is on, etc., etc.









Let's get this running in full gear again guys!

Well I can't seen to get any files uploaded to the gallery... any help here?

I've previously posted the 1/72 M3 Stuart kit by Mirage as my entry to this GB.

But with only 22 days left on this GB, I'll be building the S-Model 1/72 Vickers Mark VIB Light Tank instead.



Though this S-model kit is considered a quick-build kit intended for wargamers, there are photoetched parts included to enhance the final appearance of the finished model. Will be posting my work-in-progress by the end of this week.

Hi guys!

A big update:

I finnished the built, used some automotive gray primer...



Did a kind of color modulation using automotive black and white paint...





And put the decals on place.





I did all of this today.

Tomorrow I want to do a coat of flat varnish and start the weathering.

Cheers!

Marco

Well guys, we are nearing the end of this build. If you haven't finished your build suggest that you do. If you have finished your build haven't put the pictures up in the campaign gallery then I suggest you do. If you don't know how to then I suggest you find out. Last I checked I think there were only two builds in the gallery. I'd like to see more in there guys. Come on guys let's get some ribbons here.

Sorry Mike I lost my MoJo for this build with the tiny individual track links and of course this thing called life got in the way as well
Guess I will now have a kit to finish in a get er done campaign

Sal, sorry to hear about lifes hiccup just hope everything soon will get better for you.

I finally am able to renew my entry after gaining employment and going through the 6 week training process. My progress will slow since my only day to build will be on Saturdays. Here is what stage my Pz Kpfw II is at:

I did a little more to the Mk II with a filter and some pin wash, next the rust and the final coat of flat.

Rushing to finish,,,paint and decals down,,,just need to weather the Stuart up a bit,,,figners crossed.

I am right behind you in a race to put the finishing touches on also.

Here is my Stuart at this time. A bit more paint, machine gun to go on and some weathering to go.

Nice looking Stuart and those sand bags are a real nice touch.

Not a a bad job on the Stuart. Pretty nice looking. Bob, you put something in the gallery for the campaign, right?

Michael, as soon as I put a flat coat on I will post a photo to the gallery. Probably this weekend.

Bob

Thanks. Hopefully she will look better when I have painted the sandbags and weathered her up a bit. Bit chuffed with the sandbags my first attempt at making some from milliput.

The sand bags look great and I would actually would have bought some from you, they look way better than mine. Keep it up PrickleHead.

I won't be able to finish this one on time.
Just need to work on the fenders and tracks.
I'll try anyway !!!

me neither.... I´m stuck at the signs for my T-26, but as I cant be bothered to edit them all out now, so I´m more or less stuck. That I´m busy with other things aswell dosn´t really help...
Luckily (or rather the opposite of that) the kit still fits in in it´s box so I´m not that pressed to finish it in the next months...
next time maybe... and good luck to the rest of you.
