Here we go: the latest vote count.



Once again, our thanks to all that have shown their support by voting Things are really hotting up, and generally the voting appears quite unpredictable - no sooner does one kit go a few votes ahead than another catches up. Terribly exciting

I'm surprised no one has proposed a W&G campaign/group build yet Despite over-committing myself, I'd be up for that!

Woohoo, even though the Stalker is trying to pick off any stray voters, the Ferrari is starting to get her tires warm and the Momsen is sailing ever closer. The Chariot is still a bit lost in space and the Bf 109 is having trouble getting take-off clearance, though.

Hi Dave

You think you've got problems! What am I going to do with all the flesh-coloured paint I ordered!?

Hmmm - they always say revenge is best served cold - and I'm sure a boat-shaped chance will come along one day...

Hi Rudi

All these quotes are getting confusing - I realise I've counted Jim's quote of himself as a fresh vote and need to revise my numbers down. The true tally (I think!) is:

Revell 1:9 scale BMW R75 and sidecar - 11
Solarwind Productions "Bryn" 150mm resin fantasy Amazon warrior - 9
Accurate Miniatures 1/24 scale 1963 Corvette Grand Sport - 8
Airfix 1/72 scale RAF Rescue Launch - 6
Revell 1/72 scale Babylon 5 Starfury Mk.1 - 4

All the best
