Post your 3 pictures for the June Model of the Month competition HERE.

Post your, single, picture for voting purposes
HERE

Rules for the new Model of the Month. Please read before posting

1. Entries must be of your own work.
2. The model must be of an aircraft.
3. The model can be in any scale and in any medium.
4. The model can be “out of the box”, scratch built, or anything in between.
5. The model must be finished within the month for which it is entered. The model could have been started some time before the MOM for which it is entered, it is the month in which it is actually finished that counts. So if it isn't finished this month it may be ready for next month or the month after
6. 1 picture is to be uploaded into the relevant gallery and titled with what the model is of, I.E. VS Spitfire Mk Vc. No composites. This picture must be of just the model, no base. (For a model posed in the "in Flight" configuration" a small stand is allowed which can be used to either support the model or as a counter weight. A beaching dolly can be used for a float plane.
7. A thread will be opened in the general aircraft forum in which you MUST add up to 3 further pictures and you MAY add details about the build. The model can appear on a base or even in a diorama in this thread. Pictures must not be larger than 700 pixels wide, in either the gallery or the information thread. If you wish to post further pictures then open your own thread.
8. Pictures of models can be placed in the gallery from the first of the month until the penultimate day of the month (the next to last day) (see “5” above). (This is to avoid the time zone difference, I'm working on GMT)
9. Voting will take place over the first half of the next month, closing on the 16th. (This will be between 18.00 and 00.01 GMT)
10. A member winning one month cannot win the following month.
11. Dragon are sponsoring this from June 2007.
12. Staff members of the Kitmaker group of sites cannot enter.
13. The rules will be added to when and if it is deemed necessary.
14. Any none complience with these rules may result in disqualification.
15. Ignorance of these rules is not an excuse for not abiding by them.

Well said Justin. That's what this site is all about. SHARING. Here we can share our builds, techniques and get feedback from the building community. That's what keeps me coming back all the time. I'm relatively new to building aircrafts and have gained invaluable knowledge from the community through posts and questioning. Everyone that I've encountered always willing and happy to contribute and assist. In my opinion, all builds are winners!!

I'm afraid that you will have to wait a little bit for that because it seems to me that Holdfast were lost in space some time ago. He didn't close last voting and is not publishing results for some some last months.

Mal, did have or is still having PC problems. He is also trying to move house to his time is limited on here (Please correct me if i'm wrong) Just bear with it and all should work out. See Here

I don't think any one knows (including Mal) until Dragon say what kit they are sending. The last few months it has been the 1/72 P-61B and before that was the 1/32 Bf110

Allen is right , Mal is still having PC problems and is in the middle of moving and with life just being busy in general he isn't online much . Give him time and he will have it done .

I agree with Herman. I'd be proud to have any of these models in my collection.
