My nomination goes to Brandydoguk. Martin has been outstanding - working beind the scenes to keep A-UK on course and doing a fantastic job helping others.
All the best

There are so many people on this site that go out of their way to help others. In my case there are a few ( Halfyank, Tazz, Grumpyoldman) that have gone trawling their local hobby shops to find a couple of kits that I wanted.
Overall though my vote would go Mr Roo, for services over and above the call of 'normal' duty - not only for the extremely supportive attitude shown to others on the forums but for the drawings, parts and other 'behind the scenes' help freely given.

This month I would like to nominate Pawel "Vodnik", though he might be known as "that rivetcounter" I
know him as someone with a LOT of knowledge of (modern) armour and as someone allways willing to help a fellowmember...

I continue my campaign for AJ La Fleche. As far as I can say his contribution has always been at top levels...

You know, I almost hate this time of the month. So many dedicated modelers and great people on this board, it's getting harder and harder to decide. Every single person mentioned so far, is deserving, and many, many, more. All this said I would have to go with Mr Roo. He is an incredible modeler, and scratch builder, and always friendly, helpful, and interesting.

The top nominee in my opinion is flitzer (Peter Allen). Over the past two months, he has submitted 12 aircraft reviews and submitted 2 aircraft features in the last two weeks. He does all these in his spare time for the benefit of the Armorama membership and his contributions have really expanded the aircraft portion of Armorama.
Peter, even if you don't get picked as UOM I would like to publicly says "thanks" for all the hard work you've put into doing the reviews and features.

Although a lot of people have been helping out recently, Mr. dave Cox deserves a special mention and gets my nomination. He has been all over the place recently with a wealth of knowledge. A great guy to have on the site.
Fair play to all the other nominees also. Very worthy candidates.
