Great job Pasi. Looks terrific. Reminds me I need to finish the one I started years ago.
Looking good Lapman

Fantastic looking Dingo, Pasi!
Looking good, Lap man! I like the pre shading.

Great work Pasi...my first ever Tamiya kit I ever built was a Dingo. But it looked nowhere near as good as yours.
Lapman...wow! Great job on the 254. The Austrians would be proud! Love the treatment of the Panzer grey.
Cheers
Johanan

If only I could build in the short time you take, for such great results Lap Man. Very nice indeed.

Wheels and decals on my Italeri Sd.Kfz.234/1. I know it's all pristine, but it's the last moment it will definitely look alright before I risk the look with weathering processes.
Not entirely sure why my camera thinks it's August already - ah! leap year

Very nice Johanan. Great airbrush control there.
Just about 3 weeks to go. I have to hustle on the M981 too. Had to do a major rebuild as Toadman's Tank Pictures posted up some great detail shots which showed I had made a couple of wrong assumptions. Hoping to finish the scratch building in the next few days so I can then get started on paint.
If anyone needs a little extra time, let me know.
geez, I have been focusing totally on the wrong campaign as far as which was is due 8/1. I pretty much have my tank destroyers build done thinking it was due 8/1. So I am pondering posting my stryker without weathering to make the date on time. Wanted to do mud, but need more time to get the splash patterns right.

I thought it out. I am going to go ahead and bow out of this one. I dont want to rush just to finish tomorrow. With so many nice quality builds on here it seems wrong to post as is just to get a ribbon.

There are a few guys that have previously finished but haven't uploaded their pics to the gallery - there have been issues with the gallery again. I have PM'd a few guys re this.
There have also been a couple of guys that PM'd me and asked for more time as well. So I will grant a 2 weeks extension. Kelly, is that enough time for you? I'd really like to see your build here.
I have painted the FIST now - finished that yesterday after finally getting the paint I needed, but have not weathered it, so I'll take the extra time for that with you guys, but will try and upload 'as it is' pics today.

Peter that would work for me I think. I will try for this one. If not I guess I could fall into the wheel campaign.
I just noticed that I also need to do the headlights and need to get an anti fog glue so I dont muckle that part up.
I have the wheels mudded, but still trying to figure the mud patterns and dust excess for this one.

That is great Kelly.
For the headlights, consider using a clear coat if the fit is good. I use Tamiya Clear gloss, just paint it around the rim, then pop in the glass parts. Angle the vehicle nose up so they don't fall off. Once it dries, I paint the gloss over the lens to make sure it stays put and the light has a good gloss sheen. I also do this when I punch out clear disks for dials, etc.

Okay. Went to check if anyone had uploaded pics to the gallery and to remind everyone the extension is up on the 14th, and I realised I had forgotten to upload my own pics the other day...
I'm getting old...
Weathering is a bit more subtle in real life....
Will be adding aerials to the kit once the base I am doing is done and it is nice and secure on that - I attached one on the rear and promptly broke it off.
I have allocated the awards to those that have already finished, but can still award to anyone who still hits the deadline.
I hope to see a run to the extended finish line given the starters that shared in progress pics .....
Cheers all.

Peter,
That's one beautiful FIST. When a great paint and weathering job completes an awesome build, well there's really nothing quite like it. Absolutely beautiful and not overdone at all!
Thanks again for organizing a great campaign!
Cheers,
Johanan

Thanks guys.
No problem Kelly. Don't sweat it. A few more hours is not an issue.

Here we go...
the build was my first Stryker. Mixed opionion on the Trumpeter. To many nonsense parts that were molded just to get a higher piece number I think. For some I could see liking it. But I would rather stay with the German armor. Just to much fragile when you get near the end and have to start putting on things and hope to not break anything.
Thanks for the extra time.
Nice M113. I was just looking at the Tamiya one yesterday and thinking of rebuilding it as it one was one my first back in 1982.

Looks damn good, Kelly!
You should join the Stryker campaign set to start next year. Try an AFV Club kit this time!

sinsling, love the look of the green with the winter look. i might need to try that look on a Tiger.
Lap Man- interesting build, grey always gets my attention. might actually do a whiat if build stryker in grey for fun.
Richard Long- nice, may I ask is the final look achived using a buff? I still might pull that off on mine.
Thanks to everyone...I have my gallery pics uploaded. I forget how every campaign somehow.
and to Barney- I think I have a bad filter unit on the compressor as it never catches any water.

Sorry Kelly. I missed this for some reason 
Great build. I'm glad you didn't rush it for the end as the extra time paid off. Very nice indeed. If you are serious about the grey Stryker, Richard (GulfWarrior) has proposed a Stryker GB for next year...
https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/286845
Well That is it everyone. The last of the awards have now been allocated. If I missed anyone, PM me and let me know.
I have thoroughly enjoyed your company and watching all these great builds come together. I look forward to joining you in a new campaign. If you are interested, the Bundeswehr campaign still has time for you to join.
Until next time, take care.
Peter
