I am happy to announce that Nic Virtue (Folgore) has been selected for last months
User of the Month award. At 18 Nic is certainly one of our youngest inductees, which goes to prove that age matters not when it comes to being helpful and appriciated here.

(see Yodaman! there is hope for you too!). hehe
My thanks to everyone that was up for this award. I am confident given time every one of you will be selected. We just have too many helpful folks here.
Cheers,
Jim

Atta Boy, Folgore! Congrats- and I mean that sincerly... you show a lot of talent... I thought perhaps you had been doing models for 18 years, not that you were just 18 years old!

Well done, Nic... I didn't know you were so young; with the quality of tips you provided I thought you were a senior modeler... Youngsters like yourself and Yoda make this site special. Keep up the good work

Yeah Tread. Brings a whole new meaning to "Day of Infamy" don't it?
We should buy ourselves something for our birthdays and say they're from eachother. It would be a good excuse to tell the wife/mom
