I am sure many of you would like an update on the recent contest that finished up last month. I am speaking of the Spring Content Drive of course. I still have 2 additional articles to add to the site before I can have all of them judged by our panel. I am hopeful that the judging process won't take more than a week so hopefully this can all be wrapped up and the results announced by around the 20th. I will be posting the random drawing winners at the same time. Good luck to all that participated!

Cheers,
Jim

Rob,
We had 30 feature entries. I haven't tallied the reviews yet but there were a bunch of those too.

That's good. That is one of the places that we did not have a lot of depth in, obviously due to the site's young age. Hopefully we can become a site where people will use us for reference (extensive library of reviews and articles).

I totally agree with you there Rob. Since the start of the contest the site has gained a lot in the way of experienced new members (and the old ones), diversified members (armor, airplanes, figures and dioramists) and is now building a great database of articles to help everyone out.

Now, how do we lure Mr. Tamiya and other industry leaders over here?

I also agree with you Rob. It's good to hear the Content has been 'super-sized' a little. As to Tin Can's reference to new members. I have invited Chris Mrosko to visit the site and check us out.
I haven't seen him join in yet, but maybe he's just lurking out there. Hope so. He's a very talented fellow, and it would great to have his input.

Tread.
