Do we get an official campaign thread or should we post our progress picture in this thread?
PS: bought some styrene supply on ebay yesterday, building can soon begin =)

Ola Guys
Well promised myself not to step in any campaigns because i never finish something but this I could not resist. As i really like to scratchbuilt.
What am I going to built... One I would like to keep a bit secret. the reason why will be revealed later. But I have some progress of it. It is not too much I know I'm a bit further with the vehicle now but no pics of the latest progress plus I'm waiting for some parts to come in that I'm not going to scratchbuilt. Ok here is the progress of the first vehicle.
I think some of you already have seen this progress. I hope it isn't a problem that I post something that I already started on before the campaign started.
The leafspring shown above actually also really works.
The other vehicle that I will scratch is going to be the Phänomen Granit 25H Ambulance. But I still hve to wait for that Horch Kfz15 that I bought from somebody at a bargain price to come in.

I'm in.
Havn't decided what to build yet but I've got a few ideas and I think even I can finish a project in a year. Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.

Dave,
American Iron Horse Motorcycles is a customer of mine I was talking to the Facilities Manager to day and told I had seen the photo you posted of the gun truck with their logo on it. He thought it was cool and wanted to know if I could find out more about it. All I can find is where it was damaged in 2005. Do you know if it is still in service? If it is do you have any other information I might be able to pass on to him?
Thanks
Joe

Is our good and true Jim Lewis aware of this? I bet he would get a kick out of this.

Well, I just got done with the basic surgery. It was harder than I thought it would be. It's easier cutting up new parts from plastic sheets. I still have a lot of filling and sanding and all that stuff. I hope this works out, cause I already ruined one M113 body.

Hisham, your build is coming on well.
I pretty much followed the same procedure when I built my version. Looking good. Can't wait to see the finish project.
