I am pleased to announce the following people will be helping out around the site as Editors for the various sections of modeling here. I much appriciate all those who volunteered for this work and I may be adding more Editors as this process is better developed. It was definately difficult to select a small group from the many that volunteered.

Jim Lewis (Guntruck) - Armor Editor
Many of you know Gunnie from his work on www.guntruck.com, and also as a moderator and contributor on the site. I had the chance to meet Gunnie last weekend at a model show in San Jose and see his work in person. It was a treat.

Bryan Dewberry (Tin_Can) - Aircraft Editor
One of the very first people I met in person after starting up Armorama, Bryan has been an invaluable help in keeping the site fresh and stocked with pictures and news stories. I know he will do a great job on this task when the US Navy allows him the time.

Anders Heintz - Figures Editor
Anders is someone that has a real passion for this hobby. I have seen it in the countless informative posts he has made on the site and past feature contributions. I know he will do a good job as the Figure Editor with all that energy. He has already shown a lot of leadership in helping make Armorama a great place for figure builders.

Danny Wennekes - Diorama Editor
Danny (Eagle) has always been a great advocate of the site. When he arrived his enthusiasm for the community was really contagious and certainly lead to new users finding and joining the community. I know he will add his mark to making the Diorama section an even more interesting area than it already has been.

I have a few more people in mind and will be updating this post as new Editors are announced. Remember to thank these guys when you see new stuff on the site. I am hoping this will mean a lot more content will get added faster and our non-armor areas will really start to grow. Of course so will our armor gang so they really have a ways to catch up.

Again thanks to all those who offered to help. You may still be called on, so don't think you're getting out of it yet.

Cheers,
Jim

Danny has accepted the position of Diorama Editor so I have updated the original post above to show his new posting to that position.

The "Eagle" has landed.

Thanks Danny!

Good, now I know who to send my nearly completed follow up article on Italeri HMMWVs. This one is on aftermarket sets for the Italeri kits. Also in the works is part 3, the Esci and Academy HMMWVs (anyone got the old Esci soft top ambulance available for inspection?).

Yep - it should arrive in my hands soon after you send it for submission! I wish I still had the old ESCI Soft-Top around in my collection. Lost it in returning to the US from overseas. Only lost one model out of 500 or so - and wouldn't you know that would be the one...
