Robert- I forgot about the motorcycle diorama. My personal vote would be that one. Its got cool figures. Any will do


Well that indeed is also very high on my finish up list. But there is some good news... I managed to finish Queen of the Battlefield Took me a year in all to get her finished. but here she is. I still need to make new pictures as the light really was bad. Too much of it oh well here it is






With friendly greetz

Heres a few pics of the R4D5 with its colorful paint scheme. I need to do some minor touch ups here and there, but it has turned out rather well I think, considering where it was when I set it aside. Hopefully I'll be able to get some decals on her this week end. Thanks. "Q"

Started the decaling process last night. The black demarkation strip between the silver and white shattered, so I had to use some left overs from a 1/144 Constellation and they worked out perfectly. Once the striping had shattered, I made the decision to overspray the remaining decals with Testors Decal Set to help keep them intact. I added one of the United States Navy decals down the side before leaving for dinner. It snuggled down fine over night. Pressing on with the rest of the decals today. Pics to follow soon. How is everybody else doing on their builds? "Q"

Nice paint scheme Red, I like it. Are the windscreens masked? They look black.

Robert - nice vignette, very cool. Every time I see one of these figures on a partial AFV I wanna do one. Now I just need to get off by backside and do it.

Thanks, all the windows and the windscreen are clear. Its just the angle of the photo. I got all but two small decals done, and then add the fiddly parts to it. Thanks, "Q"

Well, I was wandering in my apartment bored. A voice inside my head spoke to me: "Why not work on the M5A1 kit? Do some painting!". And as always, I did what the voice said. I painted the OD on the spare roadwheel, commander's searchlight, touched up the mounts molded on the tools, then switched to Flat Black to paint the roadwheels already mounted on the lower hull and the rubber pads of the kit tracks. Yes, that's right I've changed my mind again. I'm going to build it with the kit tracks.

I feel good. This was the most modeling I've done in 5 or 10 years. Maybe I'll get myself down to D&J this weekend for some new tubes of putty (mine were all dried up) and fill in those sink holes on the commander's .30cal. I'm feeling optimistic that I'll finish this thing before Xmas.

Gary, I think you'll find that once you get into a groove you'll keep going. Good on ya' for giving the lil' M5A1 some attention! I know once I resumed work on the R4D-5 it was hard to stop as I really wanted to see her finished. I just finished another one for the campaign. A Hasegawa P-51 that had been sitting on my shelf for way to long semi finished. I jumped in on another group build over on Hyperscale for P-51's this was the prime candidate. A few snags finishing her, but nothing serious. Good luck on keeping energized with your builds. "Q"

Well, I'm making progress. The Panther has its camo done -some mud on the bottom of the hull, and the wheels can get on. I might even finish it in time. (It's gotta be done next week. I'm going away for two weeks in January.)
Photos tomorrow.

Well, all is quiet on the western front. Anybody here?

I think I finally finished the sucker. I don't feel like touching the poor thing, so I think the wires will not be added. Or maybe the bare minimum. But I don't see myself rigging it.

The rotors turned out rather nice, though. Too bad the photo doesn't give it justice.

Now, onto the Hind and the MiG-21. (Gosh, I actually brought the Hind over from Europe half-finished five years ago... I can't take it back like this. I have to get it done.)

Jeff,
Just post another picture in the official Get The Job Done gallery and that should take care of it.

http://gallery.kitmaker.net/showgallery.php/cat/20240

This coming Sunday is the final day. This will mark the end of the 7th campaign that I have completed. I am looking forward to seeing the ribbon for this campaign. Everyone's entries look great.

Nice to see so many finished entries
If anyone needs extension, please let me know. (After all this campaign is for the notorious procrastinators.) Also, I'd need some guidance what to do after Sunday -it's my first time.
I haven't finished half I wanted to, but my new job a bit demanding timewise -I commute three hours a day. While I can catch up on sleep and reading, getting out some glue, paint and plastic at the train would earn me a few looks on behalf of my fellow travelers.
I shall finish the Hind, though, later on. That's something I really want to get over with; I've been building it since '94. (My first helicopter, my finished PE... and a lifelong companion.)

Andras,

As the Campaign lead, you'll have the ability, under the campaign page (here) to be able to "award" a ribbon to those that complete the campaign. Side note to this...I don't see a ribbon, so one will need to be created/added. Go through all posts, find those that completed their "belated" kit, and award the ribbon. It's not hard....things will be pretty self-explanatory after the official end date. For those that need an extension, that's on you to say "yea" or "nay." At some point, the ability to award the ribbon will expire (and as this Campaign is on ModelGeek)...all you need to do is hit up the Campaign Admin (Matt Leese) and he should be able to "extend" the award time. (Hmmmmm...sounds familiar! )

Mike

Oh..a p.s. I'm probably going to request a "short" extension.

Well................I do have a Tamiya WWII German Sdkfz251/1 Hanomag that I opened up several years ago and looked at. I had every intention of starting it but that is about as far as I got with it. So I say why not. I am down to three campaigns that I am enlisted in now and I have to keep my campaign addiction fed!!

Don't give up, gentlemen. As it was mentioned, it is the campaign for our type -a week or two extension should be possible, I'd say
