Emre, Steffen, Andras an extension have been granted until December 14th (that is, 2 weeks. All other applications for an extension must be made prior to the end of Friday, my time (Eastern time)....and as long as you have a good reason shall be granted
![](../modules/SquawkBox/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Just a reminder all final entries need to have a picture of the completed model submitted either here or in the photo gallery. Those that have already done so need not do it again. Placing a picture in both areas is not necessary.
Good luck to all finishing up. If you need anything, let me know.

Since today is the last day, make sure you are enlisted in the campaign. I can't place a ribbon in your profile if you aren't enlisted.
http://armorama.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Campaigns&file=index&req=showcontent&id=195Also, I am looking through the gallery adding on to my completion list, and I am amazing at many of the models here. All of you have done a fantastic job!

This is my offer for the campaign.. This kit kinda kicked me hard, dont know why.. Perhaps its because its modern, or maybe Ive just lost interest.. its Trumps Lav-25 painted in enamals and just a bit of buff blown on for some weathering.

Ok the campaign is officially over. Here is the gameplan for the next couple weeks. All participants have until December 8th to post photographs of a completed model. All members who were granted extensions have until 14 December to finish and post a photo. On 8 December, I'll post the ribbons for completed entries and a list to make sure everyone is appropriately getting theirs.
I want to thank everyone who made this campaign so much fun. Everyone has done a great job with their projects and passing information around. I know I learned some new things. I really wish I could have had the time to make an entry, but it was a blast moderating this third installment. I don't think I'll be able to run a fourth one for some time, but I look forward to then.

Hi all
It is done .. the model still lacks a bit of finesse which will be added later, but I am running out of time and I hope you can forgive me and that it still counts:

The final pics from my Assassins

Probably not my place to come with any critique since I haven't touched a kit in 16 years, but I am gearing my self up after finding this site :-). I have never used an airbrush or done any weathering or made any dios, so I am just soaking in knowledge right now.
You got a great truck there *thumbs up*, but since the exhaust pipe is white I would think the top part of the pipe would be completely black from the fumes?

Sorrry to say you that in Gun trucks the vertical exhauts are only decorative things. Real exhaust are down side near the ground,
If the trucks gaz are going upstairs, the guys in the cargo bed cannot stay very long time
Take time too see some real GT pics

Here's my Blitz, finished... Not very good. Wheels still have flash which I can't clean with a blade, the 9 year old who broke the kit also tried to drive it around and cracked the wheels, if I try to clean the flashes the cracks get wider.
Should have cut the decals on the back, big mistake.
Overall weathering sucks, I am discouraged to weather as I can't figure out the "right" amount of weathering.
Still, looks better than a toy truck, but not like the real deal. I have work a lot more...

I know there are others who have completed an entry but have not posted photos, however as of yet I haven't included you on this list.

Thanks to Mark's hard work, we are in business. Check your profiles and make sure there is a ribbon there if you completed an entry. If there isn't - and I'm betting there might be a few - lemme know and I'll check it out.
