Hi Carl..
I posted my finished entry a couple of weeks ago...and as yet no "official" response...I can only think the boss pig Napoleon has found a nice snoozy spot in the sty...lol....or under a table still in the Cyber bar....now that'll be a hangover to forget.....

Cheers

There was a fine group of finishers of the Pig Pile build, as I recall seeing various threads in the DSB forum as some posted pics of their efforts.

The original end date was June 21st, which was then extended a month due to requests for more time. For the most part it appeared participating members, (if they were building something), kept us apprised of how things were going.

At one point in time, consideration of asking Jim for the ability to post "Pig Pile" medals was bantered about, but since this was not an official Armorama campaign, and with the work load Jim already has going on with the site, this option was not pursued (to the best of my knowledge anyway).

Thanks for the info Steve,
as I recall there were quite a few participants or at least initially listed and thought it was offical or at least when it started, official status was pending....hence the medals.

How many of us actually completed and posted I wonder?
If there's entries enough, could we consider it being made official post-campaign??

Just a thought....lol.

Cheers

Yes you did sir, and I love it!

Some of Lord Blue Fin's best work in my humble opinion.

The weathering is totally believable on this one -- a "Five Star Tuna" effort

Agreed Lord Peter.

The thread you started here is an excellent way for all those that completed the build to post a pic or two of their efforts here, (even if they have done so before in other threads). This is a nice opportunity to bring closure to the build and provides a nice summary of the builds and pics.

Thanks.

Steve

ps: Beautiful paint job on the wingie thingie Peter.
