Hi Don,
I will remember this give away as one of the best events of 2003 in Armorama. Congratulations for what you did here. I belive we must do something like that more often to support Armorama in 2004.
Congratulations to the winners.
Happy new year all (:-)

Well, a problem for me im going away on vacation for 2 days in few hours, so i pm-ed dbusack my adress and my wish list that contains 4 kits from most wanted to least wanted (since 3 guys get to pick before me) and asked him to ship me first one of them (that's not picked by first 3 winners) by most wanted order. I hope this can be done this way becouse i really like the prises.
greeting and happy NEW YEAR (:-) (:-) (:-)

Thanks everyone for the kind compliments. I think the next time I do something like this however, I am going to think ahead a bit. I didn't think about the fact that alot of people are out and about spending time with family. It may take a few days for everyone to chime in and claim their prize, but it will get done.
For those wondering, I am currently waiting for Manchu34 to let me know what prize he claims.

Don,
Thanks for organizing this. Maybe I should create a "Contest Manager" postition cause you would be good at it.
Just so everyone is clear though that this was not an "official" contest/drawing of Armorama.com or it's subsidiaries. #:-)
Cheers,
Jim

Sorry about that Jim, didn't even think about the way I titled the post looked like it was Armorama sanctioned. My bad.

Could this be called the "Christmas Campaign" or contest or something that releases Armorama, but allows the site, and its community, to attempt to do thia annually to reach out and supprt new modelers???
Dont want to put you in a corner Jim,
just want to support dbusack and the overall concept next season....
