In our generous state of mind, we also decided that you will have two votes each.

Thank you gentlemen, you are too kind. My DUKW isn't even finished!

It's a good choice out there this year, I'm proud to be part of it.

Oh yes, that VW was a sure fire winner from the start, nice one Fred.  :thumbsup:

I NEVER thought the BH8 would get that many votes though, thanks so much.

And thanks to Tom too, who did much more than I did as a Mod for this GB.  :thumbsup:

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Congratulations are absolutely in order for Fred, Nick & Kit! Well done lads!  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:


But I must say I'm a bit disappointed with the small turn-out of voters, though. 20? Really, guys?  :rolleyes:

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.  Revelling in numptytism.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

Congratulations to those who took part, to those who made the podium and many thanks to our moderators.  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

2nd place! Wow! Thank you all very much. I shall get on and finish this.

Well done to everyone else, and our moderators. I love the paint work on the SchwimBeetle, it's the sort of thing they should have built in the 70s for the surfing hippies.
