Thanks for the campaign John. I have entered and it is my first campaign. I have an Italeri Nebelwerfer 41 that I am in the process of building.

Thanks again, HARV

Ooops, looks like I´m the first one finishing this campaign......

Here´s some pics of my finished entry, M110A2 Dutch Army. I used the Revell kit without the tracks (I have to use them in a future build....) and I put some regular tracks from an Italeri M109 kit, same with the decals......what a problem trying to match them up.....paint was done with enamel as base, then Vallejo Model Color and Mig Pigments to finish.

Sorry to the dutch fellows if it´s not accurate, I took a lot of modelling liberties to build it, but it was fun

Pics:

Hi Gents,

Not my Arty up entry (still trying to track down some working hinges) but I've just finished some German guns for someone and thought I'd put em up. A mix of makes, ACE, Hasegawa, MMS and AB (all braille scale).

cheers
Brent

Very nice collection of guns, Brent. The painting, camo and weathering would be great for 1/35 scale, but the fact they are all braille scale ... can only be admired even more. Nice one.

Brent,

Thank you....not near as nice as your pieces I'm playing with the idea of adding some more brass highlights and darkening the wheel's steel rims some.

Hey guys. My names Joe and I'm new to the whole campaign thing... I know I'm joining late, but I see this campaign is running through Jan 31st 2007, correct? Anyway, I was going to build a M110A2 203 mm self propelled artillery piece, but I see someone has already done one... I suppose I could do one as well, but I'd rather see as many different pieces of equiptment as possible, so I've decided to go with a British WWII 25 pounder cannon. Its a Tamiya kit and it includes the Ford Quad gun tractor to trail the gun and a limber carrier to transport ammunition for the cannon. I'm going to do the whole thing in transport mode, so with 8 wheels on the ground, the whole rig should look pretty sweet! (That is if it comes out the way I want it to!) Any ideas or suggestions? Let me know... And once again, I am new to this. This is my first campaign, so if anybody has any advice on any rules I should be aware of or whatever, please let me know! Okay, I'll post some pics as my model progresses and good luck to everyone!!! ~JOE

Joe,

As this campaign is really rather simple in the rules, I'm sure your 25-pounder will be a nice addition.

As to posting pics, start your own thread under "Campaigns" and title it something like: Arty Up! JoJo's British 25-pounder +". That of course is totally up to you.....

Take a couple of shots of each major stage and post them under your thread with a short discription of that you've done or encountered while building. Your thread is also a good place to ask questions (kinda like I did regarding color of my (sorta) 75mm - granted, I chose the grey over the suggested green) and get responses.

HTH,

Mike

Greetings All!

I have a question about the campaign. I really want to join, however I need to clarify something before (and I am asking this because I have time issues and new projects at this time seem hard). I am building the Tamiya Quad Tractor for the "Operation: Clud Med" campaign and I had decided to attach a British 25 pounder to "spice up" things (a tractor should be hauling things, right?). Then Arty Up! campaign appeared.

What I would like to ask is if it would be eligible for me to join the campaign with the British 25 pounder (it is not assembled, even the Quad is not half finished) or would it be considered as joining two campaigns with one model?
