I would like to nominate Slodder and Plastic Battle. Both these guys (and others) have helped me and other newbies immensley and i feel that they deserve recognition for this.
Cheers guys

I don't disagree with any of the other nominations, but I've got to give a "shout out" (as I'm told the kids say these days) to the man across the pond, Porky. He's helped out tons of folks, including me, on the aircraft board, which seems to be gaining in traffic and importance here. :-)
Is there a list of past winners so that we could figure out who's inelligible for re-nomination?

Man, this is always so hard. PIcking only 2 of you guys is tough.
I guess this month, I'll go with Tin_Can for the great work he does with the AC features and everyting he does in the AC forums, and Slodder for just being all around helpful.

Hi there
Firstly a really big thankyou to those who nominated me :-)
My own nominations are:
Phantom Major - for the monthly meet (and his patience trying to show me how to use the chatroom! :-) )
Scoccia - for the great encouragement he gave me when I signed up and helping me sort out my "pic posting" problems. :-)
Both these guys make fantastic contributions to the site...
I have to give a mention to Holdfast (a previous winner), who has been truly outstanding in helping me since I joined. Thanks Mal!
All the best
Rowan

It is hard to pick only two have been helpful.. Everyone here is helpful. But since we must name names, this month I pick Slodder and Scoccia.

I like to nominate WeWillHold and CLiff for the UOM for the following reasons:
WeWillHold for alway show us great finish models, and being a great guy all around.
Cliff for overcoming his difficulties to keep showing us great models, scratch builds, and now give us some nice conversion.
They are both true User of Month material, they show their models on a modeling site, and are always helpful. If I have to, I give them my UOM award, they surely can wear it better than me, and more deserving.

Tin_can. He works hard for us over at the aircraft forum and I feel that his hard work should be rewarded.
