Thanks again to all who participated, we had some great articles submitted and I look forward to more! Congrats again to the winners.

its nice to see these excellent builds recieve this exposure.

I'd like to say congratulations to the winners. There were a lot of great entries.

There was a ton of work on the 'back end' to get this organized, edited, put together, and wrapped up. So I'd like to acknowledge everyone behind the scenes who helped makes this a success.

Congratulations and thanks.

Congrates everyone.
I really enjoyed reading all your features.

Bump for the winners to see and contact. I'll also add my sincere thanks to Scott's for everyone's assistance, both in the content submitted and the judging, that made this contest possible.

Yes, congrats to the winners. Those were some fantastic features.

Thank you all for your kind words and for the award.
You know this means I really have no excuse for not getting those future M4's correct.
I really want to say that I would have never finished "DeArend" without a lot of great ideas and insights from the helpful members of Armorama and Thank you to the Staff for the Contest and award and a special thanks to Bill for helping out.
Hopefully something in the "DeArend" feature will help out or inspire other members.
These were all great features and congrats to the others for their awards and congrats to everyone for submitting a feature I learned something from them all.
Thank you all,
Bob

Firstly a big clap on the back for Bill who initiated this whole competition, put up the prizes and seen it through to the end. Thanks a million, Bill.
Thanks to the commitee who voted for this, and to all who offered help support and kind words throughout the build. Congrats to all the other winners, who are hopefully as happy as I am. Cheers!!

Appreciate the kind words Bob and Frank!

I'm still waiting to hear back from Ralph Koziarski (borntodig), if anyone is in contact with him please have him send me a PM or email to make the necessary arrangements.

Congrats to the prize winners and everyone else that submitted content. Thanks to Bill and the Armorama staff for putting together the end products - from one editor to another, I know how much time this takes

Yep good stuff all round... They are quite eyecatching on the homepage.
And Bob, you better warm up your scanner for some Sherman request meltdown!

Congratulations to all the winners, and submitters.
Really excellent articles, and it was nice to see some were first time writers here.
Hopefully it will encourage everyone to take the plunge and write up some build articles, reviews, how to's, etc.

I want to add my congratulations to the winners and to Bill for organizing the competition. Well done all who entered.

Congrats to all those who were winners and thanks to those that entered. Some very nice articles and fantastic works by all. One of many reasons that I thoroughly enjoy this site!

A very belated thank you to all for the kind words, and I'm glad you found my whitewash article useful.
