Is it too late to post a finished model?

I have posted to the gallery, but I'm having trouble posting to the forum.

Not too late at all.
As long as you got the image of your finished build into the Campaign Gallery, you'll get a ribbon at the start of the new year.

Looks good, Guy. The tracks sag just right without being overdone.
Looking forward to see more.

Some really nice work going on here. And some great shelfqueens wrapped up!
As for my entry, for some reason i forgot to post the progress on my BA-20. I did take some pictures though
After washing the car i primed it with Vallejo Russian Green primer. It is a bit too dark for my taste, but as a primer it's a good color. After that i airbrushed Ammo Russian Green 4BO. That turned out rather nice, if i do say so myself
After letting it dry for a while i painted the details: the tires of the original wheels, the steel rims on the railroad wheels, the gun and some rusty spots on the underside. Excuse the bad picture - it was photographed when it was really just too dark to take pictures and i was too lazy to put on the daylight lamps
Lastly i used a template to paint the red star. After that i put on the spare tires and lightly weathered it. The weathering doesn't show up well on the pictures, but it's there.
In the future it'll probably end up on a small groundwork with a few figures. That's when i put on some more pigments to blend it in the scene a bit more.
For this campaign i'll call it finished

Well I have finished off one of the Jeeps. No crew as the other Jeep will get the kit crew and I don't want identical crews in each Jeep.
The Chevy just need decals and it too should be done soon.

Even though I've not finished the first (because the painting is the bit I dislike), here's the Kugelblitz
and they're both primed
.
If I don't make it there's always next year (and these'll have a headstart)

I'm going to call my Testors M4A3 done for the purposes of the campaign as my goal of finishing it, plus repainting the body and tracks was accomplished. Down the road i'll probably get a chance to test out the weathering pigments on this guy but I am happy with the well it turned out with just some basic repaint and washes. I'll post a picture to the gallery in the next day or so.

Chevy is done. The radio headset has gone missing for about the fourth and probably final time, and I forgot the spare wheels for the photos.
No crew, they will need modifying or replacing when I finally get around to deciding on a diorama for these things.

Hoping to finish this one later today. Need a little more detail painting on things like the jack block, and to finish mudding it.
