I am happy to announce that Frank Glackin (plasticbattle) was selected by his piers to receive the User of the Month award for May. Congrats to him and all the nominees.
You can read more about Frank below. And I love the internet because I was imagining Frank in my head as this 45ish guy with gray hair and very conservative looking. Hehe....reality adjustment.

This is massively overdue. I don't know about "reality adjustment"... I always knew such a great guy had to be another muso!
All the best

Well, Guys and gals, this is a very proud moment for me. I will definately miss the nominations every month, but this is so cool! Thank you all for your nominations and votes .... not only this time ... but for quite a while now. Its a great feeling.
I remember posting my first dio on missing links about 2.5 years ago, and they were linked from yahoo. Mr. Starkweather offered to host the pics for me on his new site. I was so flattered and excited at the time. Shortly afterwards I registered as a member and am very glad I did. Armorama has become a part of daily life now. Lets all hope it stays at the top. In the time since, I have met some brilliant people who have helped me so much, to improve my modelling (theres still a long way to go, so no slacking yet!!) and also my confidence, which in turn has helped me to contribute something back again.
Thanks once again to each and every one of you. All the best. Frank/plasticbattle or plasticbottle if one wishes :-)
