Looks great so far, Doug! Are the fender "waves" like this from the box? They reproduce the rubber quite well, I think.
Absolutely gorgeous finish, Tom!!! Love the brown "veins" in the camouflage!
About one more week to go!

I can never figure out how to put photos to the campaign gallery and it says I'm almost over my limit so some finished photos here. I need a real camera, not just a phone. Anyway, this is the finished DML 6300 OOB Pz IV H.

@johhar: You will need to upload at least one of the images to the gallery as this is what allows the admins to grant the banners.
@Doug: I'm fine with a one week extension. I'll send that in for aproval.

I wish a week long extension would help me but I don't think so. Unfortunately I'm going to have to bow out without finishing. I think I just got in over my head with something as large as Leopold. I got about two-thirds done and just ran out of steam and interest.
Good luck to everyone else.

That's a petty, Cary but I certainly understand... Maybe you can can finish it for the 500+ Mk. II campaign?

It seems I'm pretty close to capacity on the gallery. Are there specific steps to upload so that I wouldn't exceed my limit and get at least one photo to the right place.

@johhar: You can reduce the size (width and height) and quality of the image. If you are saving your images to JPG format a compression of even 40% still renders acceptable results at an images size of , say 640 pixels width. Hope this helps but let me know in case it doesn't!
@Mr. K: Beautiful result, as always!!! Wonderful job!

There's always the "Unfinished Builds" campaign! It ends at the end of the year.

I have not been at the bench for over four months due to ill health so unfortunately was unable to get anywhere near completing my build.
Some excelent builds there so well done to everyone and thanks to those who arranged the campaign.
