That is absolutely awesome! What technique have you been using for the masking? Was it done with putty?

Dear All,
Very good result for this campaign:
@ Pawel: great job with your Puma. I like very much the painting and weathering
@ Lap Man: The camo is very well done.
Unfortunately I had not enough time in the past weeks, so actually my Puma remains unopened. I'm waiting for 8X8 Campaign - 2nd Edition.
Regards
Giovanni

Beautiful builds! In this campaign.
Not nearly finished but for now I call it good although I will touch-up the BTR with some more oil paint and pigments, pity it does not sow the rebel flag that i intended to add on the antenna as I'm waiting an a decal provider to give me the latest version Novorossiya "National" flag.
Anyway my participation in the 8X8 Campaign,
From grey to green
And below with some wash and oils

I'll echo Giovanni above on waiting for the (I really hope and wish!) coming 8x8 2cd edition campaign!
The kit and stuff I wanted to put together for THIS now-finished shindig just all finally arrived Saturday! Dragon SdKfz 234/1 with some Eduard and Griffon PE, some Hussar resin wheels for some variety, a metal 2cm barrel, and whatever additional bits and a little scratchwork I can get in!
But no "Shock-Brigade" build for me! Seeing as it is a lovely and somewhat parts-rich kit, I'm not even going to begin with any sort of goofy last-minute effort. Besides which, knowing how I love to pause and admire and fondle every next little bit I do get done on things... Not a snowball's chance even in Purgatory, let alone H**L, that I could get much done in 3 days!
I will, however, be entirely ready to kick off with it any day whenever we get the sincerely hoped-for 8x8 2cd ed. going! Or, if someone wants to get another "armored car" thing going, or maybe a "recon" campaign or some light-armor thing, or even, if folks are really subject-focused, small-caliber-minded, and a bit desperate, a "2cm campaign"! I AM ready for it!
Meanwhile; THIS campaign has yielded some super great builds and a wealth of 8-wheelers to look at and admire! It's been a pleasure to watch and lurk and occasionally comment - even though I could not get my act together at all for a build here! My hat is off to all who completed and posted! And particularly those several SdKfz 234/x builds - my fav AC line! Neat stuff, indeed, and quite inspirational!
Thanks, ALL, for the great stuff and viewing!
Cheers!
Bob

@ Cristian: I use Blu Tack and masking tape to do the camo, it's easy to work it into shape.

To misquote Robert Burns "the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry" I have not been able to do any work on the project a 1/72 scale Revell FAUN. Therefore I will have to unenlist.

So, I was up till 11pm last night trying to finish this. Its not quite done, still needs more weathering, but good enough to call finished - although I note that the finish date on the campaign page is now 13th Aug
Will post some better pictures when I have more time

@eMan: Thanks for the hint and the images.
@Darrell: Too bad you haven't been able to get to your Faun. There might be a second part to this campaign, tough and a model like that, especially in 1/72 would be something different to see.
@Neil: An impressive model, indeed. I'm sure once you're done with the weathering it will looks even better.

There are so many good builds in this campaign that it is hard to comment on them all. This is my 234/3 with the late Schwebelafette turret. It makes a good comparison to Sal's 234 with the early turret.
I did not realize that the end of the campaign was this soon and did not get a cammo tarp mounted on the vehicle

Great job, Cam! I like the rusty wheel and the way it contrasts with the rest.

Go Daniel! Go, go!!! This must be one of the fastest builds I've seen lately! You can still do it, I'm sure.
