I know it is only one campaign ribbon per person that completes the models but I'd like to add another vehicle as well. I am pretty much done with this Korean K1A1 minus camo, weathering, etc.
Challenge accepted...
I'm working on my third.
Gary, you can get in on this too. Let's see who knocks off the most shelf queens,
Mike
Ha! If I get one done, it would be a miracle!
That's what makes it a challenge.
It's not like we all don't have a LOT of shelf queens, some lower hanging fruit than others, to finish.
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs,
perhaps you've misunderstood the situation.

I can honestly see this being a perpetual campaign. Once it is over another of the same theme begins.

Pretty much my only campaign ribbons are from Gettr Done, Unfinished Business or Hangar Queen campaigns...

Unfinished Builds 2017 is KitMaker-wide. I'd rather it were confined to Armorama-only since Aeroscale and Model Shipwrights have their own unfinished build campaigns. I think this will happen starting next year.

I finally made a bit of progress and glued the clear pieces to the inside of the upper hull and turret. No pics since you probably wouldn't be able to see much, but I am moving forward!

Sorry guys.. I have a confession to make.
I started a new kit and might even finish it!
(hangs head in shame..)
Trumpeter's new Su-101, fun little kit, falls together.
But it is not done yet, so there is still hope of me stalling and having this show up in UB 2020

I have been fascinated by French bombers of WW2. They seemed have been designed by an aeronautical engineer and an architect! I have a Heller MB 210 somewhere that needs finishing some day.

Same here! I recently bought a Potez that looks pretty strange. I built that many years ago as a kid, and I'm looking forward to doing it again with better equipment and improved skills. There are a few old Heller kits out there that I'd like to acquire and eventually build. Inter-war French equipment in general fascinates me.

Slow progress, but so far no big issues. Next are the last few details and some touch ups. Then weathering can begin.
More to follow

You're welcome. Notice that some kits can be bought in three styles:
- premium, the model is put together and completely painted.
- basic, the model is put together and basecoated. This is the form of most my models. I then take the model apart, clean mouldlines, paint and assemble again.
- kit form. Basically the kit on sprues. This is the form I will buy all new kits in. Much better than way.
Hope that helps.

started this for the Build a Dog Campaign last year but did not get it finished in time. so going to try and finish it here so i can clean out my work space a bit for some of the other kits i'm working on. anyway this is an ex-motorized kit/toy that was released by Testers and is supposed to be a very basic M4a3 in 1:35 scale.

Welcome to the campaign! I hope you get it built. It doesn't look too far from being done.

Amazing what a basic paint job can do, right is how it looked right out of the box with how the instructions would have you build it, left is after airbrushing on OD green. 100% better

I am in. I have an Northrop F5 freedom fighter I started for the very civilian campaign. I t was to be in Boeing colours. I will try and finish it off for this campaign.
Modelling is something we never perfect. We should never quit learning new tricks and be willing to share what we have learned on our own.

Jesper,
The walkers look fantastic, what scale are those? I really like the paint camo and finish you achieved!

Thanks a lot, Chris. Much appreciated.
The walkers are 1/48 scale. They come preassembled, so it a matter of taking them apart, cleaning up the parts, painting, putting it back together and doing the weathering. Slightly different from normal, but great kits.
