I decided I better start a spreadsheet to keep track of who is doing what. I didn’t go back and look at the registrations from the old site (is that still possible), but went through this thread from the beginning. 25 folks have raised a hand to be in this campaign, with 1 of them being unsure about whether he’ll really get to it this year.

The old thread is here:
https://armorama.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=SquawkBox&file=index&req=viewtopic&topic_id=287283&ord=&page=1
I have found it easy to use Google, search for a thread topic by name and then add Armorama to the search (e.g. ‘Mini-art campaign Armorama’). Then you can look at the links to find the correct one.
Not too many committed to an actual kit to build there though.
I am still in with the AEC MK III Armoured Car. Cheers
I have built the AEC Mk I - really nice build… would love to get the II and III at some point

Excellent, Peter. I picked up 5 more names for my list that way. I don’t think any of them are people with different names on the old and new site, but perhaps I’m wrong about that.
more work on the LAP-7 - work on the chassis… just some smaller parts to add (like 3mm by .5mm rod!!!) then it can be primed - chassis was all black which makes life easier. Next off will be the 7 wheels (done one)…

I have finished the 3Ton Service Crane and it’s now mounted onto it rotatable base on the Maultier cargo bed.
First pic is the underside with a mixture of MIG earth pigments applied.
Next is the chassis with some initial earth pigments which will be finished later when Maultier is finally assembled.
Next the crane now fitted to the turntable . Have added some bolt heads from a Panther PE set.
Used tamiya hull red and then a H7 pencil on the edges and metal to metal areas.
Have painted the hooks a steel/metallic grey and will gently weather the chain when it gets connected.
Will apply a green cam to the cab and tracks have also been painted with a mixture of various browns, then a heavy wash of tamiya dark iron.
Will now start looking for a suitable Miniart Dio base for it.

That’s looking sweet.
Well I have had a minor setback for my build. Working on the hull and could not find the JB sprue. Did an inventory on the spot and I am missing 2 sprues.
So heads up everyone, check your kits
ouch. I’ll be interested to hear how that gets worked out.
I emailed Sprue Bros customer service, I’m sure there will be no issue getting the missing sprues.
I think i’ll need a spreadsheet to check the sprues in my T-34 interior kit…

yeah same for most MiniArt kits - especially the interior ones
Curious how Sprues go missing in a new kit. Hoping all of mine are there too as I too have an interior kit to build with 73 Sprues.
I would like to join this campaign with T 54 1 with interior. Since site has been changed I have no clue how to enter campaign

I’m not really sure how to enter a campaign any more either. For this one, it seems, just raise your hand that you are in (already did that), post a start pic here, and we’re happy to have you!

Hi @Igor_Bobanovic, Tell us some more about your T54 I, do you have a scenario you’re planning or a stand alone AFV?

Most likely small vignette will be included.

I’m loving all these T-54 and T-55 builds.
