ONLY six? :(

How about 45?

See, Kit, limited votes aren't fun! ;)

At least 14 may have been reasonable, to my mind. :banghead:

Wow! what a great variety of entries from multiple eras and genres.  Some common types with a bit of a twist to totally new and different.  Really great to see the creativity. 

Well done fellow WHIFers.

Just a fews hours voting time left, everyone.  If you've yet to vote and want to vote, you'd better be quick!

Ooooh, it was a very, very close run poll!

By a whisker (now an official SI Unit), Pellson's Avro 721 Shackleton MR.5 takes gold

Breathing down his neck for silver is buzzbomb's Trooper of the Queen Consorts Own Light Cavalry - Deguerreotype Section.

And just behind for the bronze medal is TomZ's Watcher PR.1.

Great models all, in fact great contributions to the GB all round.  And 42 entries - is that a GB record?  Well done all entrants for your efforts, many thanks for the votes and of course the general interest shown in the GB.  :thumbsup:

Heartfelt congratulations to the winners for their outstanding builds, and to all the contestants for their original and weird ideas.
And thanks to the mods for their untiring efforts in taming an unruly bunch of weirdos. ;)
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

That really WAS close, yes.  :o

A superb GB, on everyone's parts, builders and mods together.  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Very well done to everyone who took part and extremely well done to those who managed a podium place  :bow: Nice to see a figure make it onto the podium in particular.

Many thanks indeed to the Moderators for keeping the GB going  :bow:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Well done everybody! :thumbsup:
