I don't know.........Quarterly - Bi-annual? Thoughts?.........
It'd be more fun with more entrants and yes, I know, I snoozed on this last one - but I really didn't have anything that I could put up for review{going on or finished}.
Mob rules...what do you guys say?

Congrats Ian, a well deserved 1 place.
Not that many entries, so once or twice a year would be fine, in my opinion.

Congrats Ian, a well deserved winning entry !
I am in full agreement with the others, twice annually would get a decent number of entries.
Cheers, D

Great competition - thanks for all your comments and those that voted for me !
That Tamiya F60 kit is a real beauty, but not for the faint-hearted. I had problems with the paint job and the decals but it was worth it in the end.
Now, wasn't there mention of a small prize ??

"Closest" ?? Are you referring to the Commonwealth ties ? Tucked away in the farthest possible corner of the globe from you guys methinks I can't just pop around for a cuppa and drop off a little prize parcel, much as I would enjoy that !Cheers, D

Well, you do have that boat in your pic...right?
Besides, if "I" did it he'd be getting a MOPAR and you know you don't want that!

Damian, as we are neighbours you're welcome to pop round for a cuppa anytime, could even run to a barbecue too.
Bob you're also welcome to bring your MOPAR (even though I have no idea what that is).
James I've emailed you my address.
Cheers, Ian

Ian, you really don't want to know ! If anybody mentions MOPAR to you just shut your eyes and laugh loudly.
For a full run-down on the Chev vs Hemi (MOPAR) shenanigans, take a look HERE , it's a fun read !
