Great Emre, you´re the 10th valid entry, congrats. BTW, cool look, nice markings, how did you do them?

To the rest, 4 days remain to finish your buckets.

For the completed entries, ribbons will be delivered during the next 2 weeks. I have a little problem with the image, so don´t worry, you´re all considered

Cheers

Thanks a lot Klaus!

The markings were done in two stages. First I painted the backgrounds as red dots using a mask. Then came the crescent-star decals. They are from a Turkish manifacturer "Turquoise Decals", originally intended for 1/48 scale Turkish Spitfires and Hurricanes.

Great to be on the finished models list

Thanks for the tip, I usually did something similar to do my chilean markings, even with the use of aircraft intended decals, until I started to print them by myself

To all: The ribbons will be assigned to all of you, but only a red X will be visible for now. I´m working on the image issue now, hope to get it solved ASAP

Cheers

Well people, this is the Official list for those with valid entries:

MIC
hawkeye
D_J_W
Joker
dexter059
betheyn
Jazza
janwillem
tony55

There are 2 persons enlisted that requested more time, so to be fair, I´ll grant 1 week extension of the campaign for those who hasn´t finished yet.
I´ll spent 1 or 2 weeks delivering the ribbons to all that submited valid entries

eMan, I regret to say that your entry isn´t suitable for the campaign. The rules stated clearly that this campaign was about NON US or Israeli vehicles, and yours depict a US vehicle. Sorry buddy, for the next one gotta be....

Cheers to all, hope that all of you had a Happy New Year




sorry, I've forgotten the rules , just change the scheme and I'll post the pics tomorrow.

Hey Eman, very different camo scheme on your bucket, nice one.!

Do you have any reference photos for that scheme as i would be interested in doing one of those myself.

Hello folks. The time to finish your entries has ended. Now all who completed the campaign according to the rules has received their ribbon, if not, drop me a PM and will be fixed properly.

I wanted to thank to all the people became interested in this little group build, has been challenging to lead it in a language that´s not my own. I also think that it was a succesful campaign after all, a little but important showcase of Rest of the World Buckets. Hope that this will not be the last campaign related to the old good M113.

Thanks and congratulations to all.

Cheers

Eman, thanks for the reply, i was aware of the kit paint scheme, i was just wondering if you had based it on an actual photograph and not just the kit paint scheme....thanks anyway

Don´t know really....the interest will be high, I´m sure about it, but don´t know how many completed entries we will have....plus, I have to find a good theme related, to make something different than previous campaigns.....

Any ideas most welcome

cheers
