I'm not going to be able to make it. Today has been a complete write off as far as any modelling goes. Another 3+ hour trip to do Christmas shopping. So that was my plan scuppered.

I'll post pics as and when I finish, but I am thinking of quitting any campaign builds next year. I seem to get very little time these days to work on anything and rarely complete a campaign.

Been fun to take part and see so many cool subjects.

Stephen,

Never give up! One of these days the stars will align and you'll get one done, I know you can do it!

Stephen, sorry to hear that but better you just enjoying a build without a timeframe to keep the stress down.




I'm happy to call another campaign done and finished

Before I'll end up my build log with the final pics, here's a short overview.

Michael, thanks a lot for hosting this great campaign and congrats to all who crossing the line. Was a pleasure and fun!

Thanks for understanding guys.
I think next year I'm going to concentrate on getting some half finished projects on the desk completed. Then make a start on some of the kits I bought this year. Got a few 1/35 WW1 tanks and figures I'm excited to start work on for starters.

Chaz, your Tilly looks fantastic in the Malta camouflage. Might have to try that myself someday.

Thomas, the Thunderbolt is really cool. Nice work on the finish.

calling this one done even though the rear wheel fell off and lost, you may notice it in some photos. i am too tired to go looking for it or hunt one out from another kit right now so here it is, i'll post in the gallery too.

With 1/2 hour to local midnight, I'm declaring victory and going home!




Thanks guys, it was a great campaign, mostly marred by fat fingers and lousy decals.

Stephen, thanks a lot for your thumb up!


Joe, really glad to see you finally made it after Michael's offer for a day more!
Sorry for the wheel but anyhow it's beautifully done with a fresh and neat look. Great job!

Now Mark, one more for the gallery!
Pretty well done on this last-minute build.

Congrats guys, you really speeded up.

Well done on finishing Mark and Joe!

Looks like it's time to wrap this one up. Congratulations to those who finished and, to those who didn't, there's always Hangar Queen 9!

I'll be awarding ribbons later today so if you don't get one and think you should, let me know.

Hopefully I'll see you all in March for the Eastern Front campaign!

Thanks Michael, that ribbon sure looks nice up there. Thanks to everyone for the great builds, this one was a LOT of work, but it all worked out in the end. I appreciate the encouragement, I wasn't sure I was up to the task on this one. It still needs some love but it's not bad considering.

See y'all next time
