2 days left to finish the campaing.
Does anyone need two days extension (until Sunday) to finish their work and post a pic?

I just wanted to ask for some extension... The Summer semester fell on me like a ton of bricks.

I'll finally have some time for a painting session tomorrow and Saturday -it should be ready in a few days.
Thanks.

I'm done Marcin, well close enough done for me at the moment, it needs a couple of touch-ups but they can wait till after the campaign is done.
Here are a couple of pics, there are a lot more in my build thread.


Am just about to upload them into the campaign gallery too.

An extension would be nice! I'm not sure I'll be done even then but I can give it a shot! I suppose I should get away from the computer then eh??!!?

How many days extension you all need? Do you think you'll finish until Monday or you need more time? I think that June 11 is fair final date to post a pic of your entry.

I am fine. I managed to find the time to take a picture.
This is a 1/76 scale Bofors gun from Airfix. I built it as a Sweish army gun from the WW2.


I also added the Klöckner Deutz truck from SMA even though this isn't ready. I have decided to build a new cargo bed to make it look more like the trucks used in Sweden. But since it is the AA gun that is in focus for this campaign I don't feel that I need to hurry.

Jerry,
That is a really nice '88. I built the Tamiya kit several years ago, but it doesn't compare to yours.

Jerry ,
Thanks for your comments I am glad you like it. I also built Tamiya's 88 about 20 years ago but this new Dragon on is pure class I realy enjoyed the project It was also good to do it as part of a campaign because it got me working on it and it got me to finnish it , which is a minor mircale. there are more pics of it over in the Constructive Comments Thread
Best wishes,
Jerry

At the last second... And I still can't find the decals. (They've been gone since we moved a few month ago.)
It has a nice, dull surface, with subtle dust on the hull -it's all gone on the photos; the flash made it a bit plastic-like.

I thought that I will make my Crusader AA on time, but unfortunately I can't.

Pity.
