Hello All,
7 days to go.
If your are finished with your build, Please get it in the gallery. I go by the gallery to award ribbons not the thread.
Just all of you wait for mine, I think you will like the "Paint Job".
Cheers,
Bruce

Bruce, just so you are aware, it seems there are two galleries for this Campaign. One in 2009 and one in 2010. I mention this out of self-interest, as I posted my photos to the 2009 folder a while ago.
Cheers,
Mike

Looks good, Jim. I am looking forward to see the final rigged result.
Lap Man, could we please see some more pictures? That BV 222 looks fantastic.

Hello Mike,
I know about the 2 galleries, thanjs for reminding me about them. It seems to be another system "hickup".
As long the photo's are in either gallery I will award the ribbons to the members.
3 Days to get done. You will have an extra 24 hours to get your photo's in the gallery. On thursday at 2400MSD the campaign is over.
For the next 12 weeks I have to go to P. T. for my shoulder. So I will post the ribbons as fast as I can.
Cheers,
Bruce

Wow! Excellent late entries.
Very nice Cat, Istvan. I really like your faded subtle weathering.
Beautiful Sunderland, JP. I agree it would almost be a pity to start weathering it.
Nice entry, Todd.
Looks great all!! It will be a very nice gallery.

Hello All,
It is 0024 MST so the campaign is official over.
Great job everyone, I have seen some great builds for this campaign.

If I miss anyone, Let me know by PM and I will award the ribbon as fast as I can.
@ Staff,
Please Do Not lock this thread for a few days until I get done awarding the ribbons and posting the names.
Again, Great job Everyone.
Cheers,

Hey, just where did my entry go from the gallery? ...Or could just have been so jazzed when posting those pics from my photobucket account that I completely forgot about the official campaign gallery.
D'oh!
Just uploaded pics to the gallery. I hope you understand and don't mind the pics being a little late, though the entry itself was finished in.

Hey Bruce, I was like the first person to finish an entry but when my computer crashed I lost the photos. This was before the gallery had been created. Is it OK if I take some more pic's of my Goose and post them now?
