It's high time to start preparations to White-Wahsed campaign.
All details on the campaign you'll find HERE.
Campaign's gallery is HERE.
I encourage you to start your building blog as this may result with being asked for writing feature article for Armorama.
Jesper (SGTJKJ) was so kind and created four banners for the campaign:


Feel free to ask me if you have any questions or doubts on White-Whashed.
Have fun!

Below you'll find links to articles about winter camos. I won't put link only "How to.." but also about purposes and method of masking vehicle for winter.
I'll try to update these links as often as possible. Of course you favourites links are welcomed too.

Thanks for the links, Marcin. That's exactly what I need.

Hi Marcin. I am goıng to start my campaign model in a few day. Just wonder. ..Should ı take and upload photos of building of model or photos of finished model for gallery?

Hi Sancar,
It would be nice to see your progress photos but I prefer participants to upload only finished models to campaign's gallery. In build pics you could place on one of free file hosters. I use Photobucket.com and you can choose from many others.

Hmm, I may be in on this one

I am going to start as soon as I finish my other campaign builds. I have all my kits together for this so I am well off!

Have fun and good luck everyone!

-Mike

Looking forward to this one.. It will give me a chance to build another KV..
Although I will have to wait a week to get started.. Heading to New Hampshire for a week starting the 1st...

Dave

I am in for this one. I will build the old Tamiya Leopard 1A4 in German winter camouflage. I had this one in my stash for quite some time and it will be a nice stroll down memory lane making one of these old Tamiya kits with poly caps for the whells and everything
I will try to finish my L-39 Albatros for a campaign on Aeroscale before I start on my Leopard 1A4 for this campaign from the start of October.

That should be fun. I have 2x Dragon Pzkfw III ausf. M ready which I want on some winter setting. Hope to get at least one of them finished before the end of the campaign.

Martin

2 of my 5 vehicles will be white washed. the king tiger will be in ambush cammo (its knocked out). the willy's and truck will have simple bed sheet sheet cammo.

-Mike

In preparation for thecampaign start in little more than a week I have done little research on my subject (Leopard 1 A4). I have come around this picture in one of my books.
An all green Leopard 1 with partially white wash and some interesting mud weathering to go with it. I have not decided yet if I want to make the mud weathering to go along with the white wash or if I want to make the white wash a worn as in the picture.

Anyway, I am planning to base my model loosely on this picture. I will not make this specific vehicle but one in the same style.

Now the hunt goes on for even more Leopard 1 A4 in German service with white wash. Any pictures or links for helping out in my research are highly appreciated

Gentlemen, your gallery space is now arranged and ready for you

Little chance of plans. My entre won't be a Pzkfw III but a Pzkfw IV. I've got the Tamiya ausf.H kit ready and I ordered some Fruil ostketten and an alu barrel. Should be fun

This is what I'm going to build as soon as finish KV-1 for "Under New Managment"

Some great examples:

Hmm...can't wait to get started

This is btw what I'm aiming at:

well now i have an excuse to get the stug b done yaaaahhhhh!!!!

With Baseball coaching over for the year, I've been anxious to get focused on modeling again and this Campaign is a great way to get back into it. I've got a 1/35 Tamiya Tiger I (Mid), Eduard barrel & PE set, WW II Production tracks and a couple figures to go into a diorama based around this photo;

I've been checking sites I've visited some time ago and found this one:
Beutepanzer
There are many photos of captured tanks in winter camo.

I'm in. I'll be building Dragon's T34 Mod. 1941 kit. Should be pretty fun.

I reckon a Sherman should grace these snowy shores...
Maybe my current build, the Tamiya M4a3, or Tamiya M4 previously built but unfinished...

Put me in for Tamiya's 1/48 SU-122

I am in with the Dragon Soviet SU-100 Tank Destroyer. It is a great kit so let the snow fly.
Sheldon

I was digging and found both a dragon king tiger with zim and a T34/76 that I was never happy with the paint and didn't finish either of them and moved on to other projects. I may have to break out the easy-off and start over, both are nice kits that have been scrunched in the boxes for a while now. I've gotten a lot better at finishing them and do kinda have the urge to dirty up another Russian sled

Now we are of to a start! Cannot wait to get started on my Leopard 1A4. I will post an update in this tread during the week.

We can officially start the campaign so grab your tools and jar of white paint. We're going to prepare our models for winter!

Great. I'll start a build log and hopefully my effort will be usefull enough for a feature as suggested in this thread

Looks good, Martin. I am looking forward to see how this works out when you get started.

I am just about to start on my Tamiya Leopard 1A4 as well. The kit is a little basic, but considering it is from 1979 it has good details. It looks like the build will be quick although the painting and weathering might be another story.

More to follow in a few days

I have made a little progress on my Leopard 1A4 for this campaign.

The lower hull has been assembled along with the wheels. Taking into account this kit is from 1979 the level of detail is very good.
Also it was a trip down memory lane putting those small poly caps into the wheels Actually I think this will be quite handy when I get around to painting the tank

A crew figure is included although I do not think he will fit into any of the hatches and he also looks a little bulky by todays standards. He will probably go to the spares box....

More to follow...

A little update.

Construction on my Leopard 1A4 is now almost finished. Construction is easy, fast and straight forward. The cool thing about these old Tamiya kits are that you can disassemble the main parts for painting again due to these small poly caps.

The only areas that need a little filler are the back of the plates for the front head lights. Otherwise no extra filler is needed.

Next will be the basecoat.
