I was going to post this yesterday, but as I was credited with the review and not Vinnie (Teacher) :-) , I thught it would be better to wait until it was corrected...

Suffice to say, we have now got DML interested in the site, and from now on, they will be publishing links to some of Armorama's Dragon reviews.

This, for the site, is quite significant. For many reasons. Primarily, in the case of Vinnie's review, it demonstrates that the quality of reviews on the site are as good, IMHO,an awful lot better than others on the web.

There are many people on the site doing a lot of extraordinary work with reviews and features, in this particular case however, Vinnie deserves particular mention....Jim

The DML Review page can be seen:

WTG Teacher!!

look at the names up there and see who are the other reviewers, Vinnie is up with some of the gurus and that says something about him and about Armorama.

We all knew what a well written review Vinnie had produced. Surely it made some of you Allied guys want to test the Axis waterw with this kit. Now world outside Armorama will see this review and maybe decide to look around our site while they are here.

Way to go Vinnie!

Sweet. Now all we need to do is conquer Tamiya, Academy, and the rest of the modelling world. CONQUER THE WORLD!!!

Digressing...great job Vinnie.

With any luck, this move by Dragon will attract the "scouts" attention of other modelling company's websites, gaining more attention to Armorama.

Thanks for the compliments lads. It was Jimbrae that persuaded me to do the article, and him who talked to DML to get the link posted there. So thanks Jim.

So Jim, hiding your light under a bush? Good for you also, getting more notice to the site.

Well, what Vinnie did was a little special. He could have opened the box, written a few lines , taken a few pics and Voila! a review. He chose to actually evaluate it, build it and get it up on the web before anyone else - which in my book at least, is a pretty major bit of work.

Of course, taking Vinnie's family and pet hamster hostage did, in the long term, keep his mind perfectly focussed..Jim

That is great that Dragon linked to Big A for a review. And an added bonus is that it is for such a popular kit that has everyone hyped up!! Way to go!!
