Thanks K -- nice shading you have there!
After taking off the masks:



Looking at it now, it seems more like an IJA Tank!

Very nicely-executed camo--very clean!
Maybe going over the whole thing with a semi-opaque coat of panzer grey will tone down the IJN look?

Thanks Mark for the comments and advise -- much appreciated. Given the few days to the deadline, my worry is screwing this one up, and have no time to recover.

Loving the camo work of you guys.
I am racing the clock but my Gekko is at paint stage.

Hello All,
Due to circumstances I am going to have to withdraw from this campaign even though I suggested it. Everyone so far has delivered great builds. They are all better than I can produce so I don't feel to bad about not finishing my build. It was a 2009 Dodge Charger Super Bee.

I am calling it done. Good build a couple of gaps but some areas are pretty intricate. I may add camo someday but not sure just wanted to get it in before campaign ended.



BTW I tried to add this in kitmaker gallery many times. Keep getting error message "The category you chose for this photo can't contain photos". Any advice?

Congrats on your finish. It seems you are at the Home Page of Kitmaker Gallery as selecting the UPLOAD PHOTOS button will give such a message. You need to be at the designated gallery -- so scroll down and you will see one labeled CAMPAIGNS. Select that and it'll take you to 2016 CAMPAIGNS. From there pick the campaign gallery you wish to upload to.

Nice finish Tat.
Lovely little Wolf Mr.K, is the camo masked or free-hand?

Check your file size. Sounds like it may be too big.

Mark is right -- file size is another thing you need to watch out. I believe it should be no more than 800x600 pixels. But I see it now at the gallery Doug, so you've made it happen!
Thanks all for the kind comments!

Thank you Richard.
I masked it because of its small area, by using a kind of blue-tac.

Best regards,
K.

I hope that the Admin can give out the ribbons for this campaign after the July holiday weekend.

Yes it should appear on one's profile page. I haven't seen on mine as well. I'm sure John will get around to it in the next few days.

Shouldn't we have someone else capable of handling the campaign dutys if the other person is unavailable? I know John hasn't been around as much as he would like to be and I know how life gets in the way.
