We can start the nomination process for next month's User of the Month award. Please post here and let us know who you think should be one of the five users nominated for UOM. I will tally the nominations and start the voting when I get home on the 20th (or so).
Just a note but for anyone who has sent me mail at any of the Armorama mail addresses lately, I haven't been able to read that mail as I still only have a dial-up connection and several users have sent very large files (which is normal) so I can't download the mail very easily at this point. Have patience.

Cheers,
Jim
PS: Thanks again for honoring me last/this month!

Wow Jim, nomination time again.
Met pretty much helpful newcomers lately..... A great promis to the future of Armorama.
For the new nomination...let's see, there was Sabot and Jim...both became UOM, both excellent choises.... For the new nomination I'd say :
GunTruck, TreadHead, ScreamingEagle, AndersHeintz, GeneralFailure and more, many more members who all really deserve this month's UOM trophy.....but aaahhhhh it's a hard nut to crack....
Since I only want to nominate the maximum of two persons I just picked the first two names that came to mind after the past month at Armorama: it's GeneralFailure and Andersheintz for me this month.
Wat did they do to Armorama last month ?
They made it fun te be here, and really made an effort to teach us new things.
- Pooring Silicone Molds
- The group painting
My two names are out in the open now, but I'd like to thank all of you who made armorama the best place in the past month again !!

I'll second the nomination for Ken, even if the bugger can type faster than me!! I'd also like to throw up the following candidates (er as in propose not erghh...you know)
Armored Sprue, Treadhead, Arthur and Pak 40. While there are so many I'm limited to five.
What are they guilty of you might ask?
Making me laugh
Making me think.
Jack I'll get you others next time around

Three names i thought of immidiately are: Kencelot, Demodelbouwer and Generalfailure.
Why? Because they always stand ready to help you if youre experiencing difficulties/problems with your models.

This month I'd say... Anders. Hey, since this guy has become a moderator of the Figures Forum, there has been a lot of action there... The group build is a good idea to bring the magic of figures to people who were scared to death when tried to build figs. Now, you can enjoy step-by-step procedure with great advice from your own "personal trainer"... :-)
