BÉPÉ I like it very much. The dio has a very strange, unique feeling. Both vehicles are excellent.

Can you put model names to the results as this numbering doesn't match up with the order the models are on the page, eg the winner is the 5th photo on the page but is labelled as "model 4" in the results list?
Congrats to the winners by the way!

All three winners are superb, with little to choose between them in terms of quality IMHO (despite #1 getting 42% of the vote).
I missed the vote this time but would probably have gone for the JS-3 - the fact that I really like the subject just swinging my decision.

The Tiger and 251 dio is just flat out awesome!! Wish there had been more photos. Confused about one thing, though. Why are comments related to the figure contest mixed in with this subject?? Did I miss something??

Congratulations, Michael (superb paint and weathering, but the green vegetation really set off your KT), Antonio (very nicely painted and weathered monochrome green paint), and Grzegorz (ditto, and great mud, too).
All are well deserved!

Congrats to the winners by the way!
In the voting article the pictures are in reverse order. i.e in this case model 8 to model 1 and its just the way the software adds the pictures to the article.
The models are labelled from model_1 to x when the contest is built for easy of putting it together you should see the model number when you hover your mouse over the picture some where on your screen (for me its bottom left hand corner using firefox).
We dont list the models and people names as this has caused issues in the past but i do now list the results so that those entering can see how there entry did.

Thanks Michael Awesome Dio, love it! Nice to see some more pic's.You can almost smell the damp pine forest, gasoline and cordite Cheers Geraint Your blog is AWESOME I,ve been a fan of your art for a long time without knowing it. Seen your work before. I can remember the French Dio with the Funk 38 and Jagd IV from before. Nice to tie everything to one person, I will be asking plenty of questions and advice from you. My interest in modelling is on your wavelenth. Is it easy'r to get in touch through your Blog or here on Armorama? Cheers Geraint
