Thanks for the beer.. I feel better already.

Looks like I've still got to scratch up some periscopes and take care of those e-pin marks in the commanders hatch.

Keep with it man, you'll get back to the bench. I appreciate you running this thing year after year.

Have you thought of knocking off a project in another scale or genre to get your mojo up and get back into it?
Until the fire Marshall got peeved I was hanging 4 lbs of plastic from HIS sprinkler pipes in MY classroom, I knocked out 1/72 historic and record setting aircraft for a visual timeline of powered flight when my mojo got low.

M

A dozen or so additional pieces none of them intended for this kit later,


A coat of Tamiya NATO Green and some still wet oils.

not the most 'in focus picture'

But that hatch is smaller than a quarter.

Headed for this.


Should have built up the Mr Surfacer more around the wire ring there.. might still.

Well I have two builds I might throw into this campaign. One Abrams and one King Tiger.

I have stalled on both because of various reasons. The King Tiger I am just not sure if I want to leave in primer or three tone camo. And the Abrams I didnt have any extra to put on it until recently. So one of them if not both will get done.

One month left, everyone!

Or....

One of these two builds LOL !

Progress update of my entry, Accurate Armour 1/35 Vk.4502(P) Porsche TYP-180.

Calling this one done. Glad to finally get it off the bench. Hope everyone has a great Christmas and New Year!

I guess I'll have to hope for an Unfinished business 2020

Various issues have kept me from my project, and now it's the holidays.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (when something may get done)

Dave

Both Tiger and crew look great, Guy!

Dick, I hope things get back to normal.

eMan, welcome to the campaign. I'm sure with your building speed you can get it done.

As for 2020, I won't be running any campaigns, just participating in them. Hopefully, someone else will pick up the baton.

Whoops. Forgot to add the state of the campaign!

updating progress pics, ready to paint.

Progress update.

Paint and decals look good. Not much longer to the Finish line.

Some more progress on my tank destroyer. I am getting there slowly but surely. Expect to hit the finish line with no problem.

Gary, I see you do not have my build on your list. Maybe backside I did not post the name. You can call it “warhammer 30k space marine tank destroyer”.

More to follow soon

Half a month left, everyone! But, I remind everyone that this is a hobby. Don't get stressed out too much!

Working on my project I got around to adding my fenders


Added some storage boxes and worked on the fuel drums. Used the left over brass from a pe set and some brass rod.


Finally got some paint and decals on, I present to you the T-34-1 mod 1964.



And next to another project I hope to finish by the end of the year. Iraqi Chieftain captured from Iran.

The T-34-1 looks great! Hope you get the Chieftain done. Don't forget to upload an image of your finished build to the Campaign Gallery.

I have now finished my build. It has been a couple of years underway, but now it is finally done. I will probably add some AK Interactive wet effects to the mud on the tracks. I will post pictures if it turns out good, but for the sake of the campaign this is my finished build.

Thanks for a Great and well run campaign. It has been a pleasure to participate and see all the great builds getting finished.

Congratulations on another brilliant finish!

Okay, throwing this out as is. I have one other campaign to focus on now.

Markings not accurate at all, But thats a goal for me in 2020. To build a few true to life builds.

Looks good to me! Congratulations on your finishing!

Might drag once more across the finish line tomorrow.

Takom's Japanese SUV. The body mold seam is a hassle and the glass fit is terrible. But it's almost done at this point. Just body assembly and some Washable dust/sand paint.
Might just get there..

If so that'll make 3/7th of my completions for the year.
AMT Shuttle Tyderium (also a long term shelf queen)


Meng's ZPU-2 built from start to finish this year (a rarity for me)

Takom's Kashtan CIWS weapons system, built in 2 weeks (a HUGE rarity for me)
The Phoebus 'Scorpio' and base titled 'This IS a bug hunt, isn't it?'


And the two for this campaign

Aaghh!! I'm SO close with this one - all it needs are the pioneer tools painted and attached, and final weathering. There are some real small PE brackets for the tools and my head just isn't in the right place for that today. I have to take my son to the airport on his way back to London, and it's a couple of hours round trip, so by the time I get back we'll be prepping dinner and getting ready to see in the new year, so it's not going to get completely finished to my liking

Sgt, I really like those big 40k tanks. Nice mud on the tracks.
LapMan the 4502 has been a fave since the first issue of the Weathering Magazine did one. But I got stalled after finishing the hard part ( full turret interior) of the Hobby Boss kit. Now I wanna drag it out and across the finish line.
MrCkark, I dunno from ‘accurate markings’ but that Abrams looks the part.

Well done all.
See you in the next round.
