Hi Jeff,
The copper looks great. If you can "oxidise" it with a mix of dark brown and green it should look amazing.

cheers

Small updated on my entry.

Hull and tower pretty much assembled. Small details to be added after painting.



Now off to the paint shop.

Hi,
Nice weathering, eMan.

The first time I built a simple 1/350 Kilo-class sub. I admired all of naval modelers actually because of a lot of tiny parts on yours.




And the finished work.





Regards,
K.

Now that is a very interesting display of the Kilo.

Well done!

Hi everyone,

Amazing work by all involved. Mr K. - love the concept of your display. Very ingenious method. Might have to steal that sometime in the future.

So my Revell 1/350 Type VIIC is complete. The water effect is still a work in progress but I am happy with the overall look.

Thanks David. I also like your way of making water, but never try it yet. Maybe in the future.
I have the same idea with Joe (Canada). Hope he will finish his work.
Regards,
K.

I will post my finished images tonight.

The Nautilus is finished but not the base.....But I think I can call the "Sub model" done.

Here is my finished AFV Gato 1943

Built OOB...I have not given her a number as I do not know
which submarine she will represent yet.

OK, Long day at work and I changed my mind.
I am only showing my progress. This is after 3 washes and 3 filters.
It is looking much less bright but still want some more of a tone down.
Also, I did paint the Squid but did not like how it came out and stripped it back down.

SO, sometime when I actually get it finished, I will post images somewhere.

I still need a better camera or learn how to take better no light pictures. Probably the later.

Hi,

It's about 2 weeks passing the deadline. I think all submarines here shut the engine off and dived silently to the bottom.

Cheers,
K.

My apologies, I have been traveling in Mexico for 11 days. Has someone designed a ribbon? If so, I need it uploaded and a list of those who get one.

Hi Bill,

On page 3 of the official campaign thread, JeffD had proposed
2 different ribbons.
Can one of those be used?

Joe

Certainly. The campaign organizer should choose one and then it should be uploaded to the campaign for awarding.

Hi Bill,
Just noticed that there was a 3rd ribbon proposal by Brent Arritt on page 3.
I believe that you are the campaign leader on this one, so
maybe you can choose the ribbon and award those who finished.
Cheers,
Joe

Joe, I have not been active and built nothing for the campaign. Someone else should choose the ribbon, and will need to upload it to the campaign. I will then need a list of those who finished and will award the ribbons.

LOL...there were three ribbons on pg.3 Dave. I only grabbed the one that was picked a couple of times.

Here are the three off of page 3...
