Thanks, Leo! I guess it shows that I'm one of those organization freaks-- I've got an Excel spreadsheet with columns for all the names signed up, starting photo, in progress photo, and gallery photo, and each row is a separate build (some entrants started several builds and finished only one or several (29Foxtrot, md72, and Red4). One of the hard parts is going back and forth to see who dropped out (Damian) and who's new, that and keeping up with the thread whenever there's a new development.

Like I said, I'm content to lead it or not if someone (Allen) is more eager to.
Thanks!

Well, still waiting on Rebilda and the weather there to get some gallery photos, but in the meantime a hearty "Welcome Back!" to alpha_tango who got his Albatros in under the wire! She's a beauty! Check it out in the gallery.

Thanks Sean!

I just posted the pix in the gallery. This was a real hangar queen that sat in the shelf of shame for a loooong time, then I picked it up and again shelved it. Just when the campaign started I gave it another chance and this time I succeded. After that I fell into a deep hole (not just modelling wise) so I did not tackle a model in 6 months or so thus there is no further model from me in this campaign (my stack of started models is almost as huge as the "normal" stack ...)

There was kind of a controversy if this counts or not (must be on one of the early pages of the thread). Here is my Build log on the crate, It started when I picked it up from the SoS the first time and you'll notice the one year gap until I was able to finish it finally. I am really proud that I did that and I like the look even if it is the first Albatros D.V from Eduard (not the same that you can buy nowadays).

All the best

Steffen

Stefen, I had read that ugly mix-up earlier, and I think you had resolved it correctly (your pic was of when you had stopped, before the Campaign began). Regardless, if it hadn't counted earlier, it certainly became a Hangar Queen again after that. Glad to hear that you're out of your hole.
-Sean.

Thanks for the patience guys.

Sunshine today and got out of work early enough. One pics in the gallery the rest is for you to comment:









Waddaya think?

Thanks again for waiting..

Holy Mackarel! That's a masterpiece. Well worth the wait.
Do the refueling booms really scratch up the paint like that? I'd be terrified of a static shock, but I guess that's all been figured out by the experts.

Allen, I'd say in another day or so, you can lock this thread, so people divert to the Hangar Queen 2 proposal thread.
Thanks everyone! I'll post the ribbons now.
... and ride off into the sunset.
-Sean.
