We have crossed the halfway point on Unfinished Business 2024 but six months yet remain!
If you want to earn a campaign badge for finishing up an old model, you still have plenty of time.

Nice thing about this campaign is that if you don’t finish, you can extend for another year in the 2025 edition, a procrastinators dream.

My idea for the Unfinished Business 2024 campaign medal appears below.
The medal is based on a circular castle motif in bronze and silver. The ridges around the edge of the medal represent castle wall crenelations. In Roman times, high honors were given to the first man over the wall of a fortification. Later, fortifications became symbolic of military engineers. Stone walls feature prominently on many military medals for engineers.
If my Latin is correct, “Veni Vidi Confeci”, means, “I came. I saw. I finished.” Please let me know if you find an error.
The number 11 blades and crossed paint brushes are obvious model building motifs.
The checkered flags are obviously symbolic of finishing.
The laurel boughs are representative of the laurel crown associated with a Roman triumph, awarded for valor, perseverance, and a victorious campaign.
Green is the color of life, success, and wealth.
Anyway, that is my submission.

Some from Germany. Stridsvagn 122, a kitbash of RoG and HobbyBoss parts.
HobbyBoss is NOT really fun to build.

I remember reading that discussion and look forward to seeing your completed model. With that wire cutter, it reminds me a lot of a World War II era jeep.

Cobbled together an M60 mount and added cushion/covers to the seats. The gun is held down with bungees attached to the light.

After putting it off for so long, I finally started my build for this campaign. It’s a Meng Toon KT which I started in late 2019 but lost the motivation when the lockdown hit. Hope to finish it this year

I’m going to change horses again. Ditching the Tamiya Kubelwagen for my Vulcan 2-pdr AT gun.
Recently painted a wheel.
Then, added the lever to it (to detach/attach to the carriage?) and added one of the carriage stabilizer legs.
I added the lever to the hub for the other side. Broke the towing ring while cleaning it up.
Glued this box together. Had trouble with the handle. First, I dropped it and searched the floor for like half an hour, then spotted it on the table. Then I tried to keep it upright while trying to glue it on. It stuck to the tweezers, so I used my fingers. This kit has soo many tiny parts.
I wonder why I put myself through this. So frustrating.
Glued a box (sight stowage?) that will eventually will stack together with the previous box.

Here is the socket on the trail: 3 very tiny pieces (I haven’t added B35 yet). The pieces did their best to escape but I finally got them glued.
And installed on the trail.

Even more eye straining work.
Now added to both legs.

Artillery piece models always seem to have a large number of very small, intricate parts. I enjoy learning how such machines work but building one can be exhausting. You are making a very good job of a complicated model.

More tiny parts.
I was trying to clean up the part when it flew off. Took me 15 minutes to get it back in place.
After that, I glued the diagonal support bar (B9) in place. Fortunately, that went pretty quick. The corresponding part (B17) is cleaned up and ready to be glued. The carriage is almost done.
The other arm (B17) has been glued. Now back to the tiny tiny parts.
