Title: FFF 2006 Model of the Year!
Post by: FichtenFoo on January 02, 2007, 05:29:04 PM: Please Read All of the Instructions Below BEFORE Voting

The time to vote for the FFF 2006 Model of the Year is here! You've seen the prizes, now it's time to see the 16 entries that the FFF staff has deemed some of the best of 2006. If you don't see yours here, please don't be discouraged or dissapointed. We really had to narrow down all the kits posted last year and there were a lot so it was a LOT of work. In 2007, this should be easier because we'll have all the 2007 MotM winners plus those months runners-up.

How To Vote:

Anyway, here's how you can vote... send an email to me via this forum with your choice from the 16 entrants listed below. Just copy and paste the entrant info into the email, nothing else, and hit send. This is the most honest and fair method I could think of since poll software is easy to cheat on.

For your vote to count, you MUST be an FFF member who joined BEFORE 1.1.2007 and must use the email form. No PMs or normal email. All post 1.1.2007 member votes and non-forum form emails will be desregarded. You will have one week to cast your vote, after which I'll not accept any more vote. Voting ends 1.9.2007 Midnight EST.

Voting Ended... Stop voting!!!) (http://fichtenfoo.com/v-web/bulletin/bb/profile.php?mode=email&u=2)

DO NOT PM ME YOUR VOTE. Click the link right above this text to vote to EMAIL via this forum.

Here are the entries... please look at ALL of them before casting your vote and give some thought to it. Don't make it a popularity contest. Vote for what you think was the best in all aspects.

Post by: Major Blah on January 11, 2007, 09:45:44 AM: 2006 was a great year for modeling, lots of excellent work finished by members of this forum. Again, it was really hard to say which one is "better" than others, they are all so good. Let this winning pieces be inspiration to us all! :)

A round of applause goes to the generous prizes donated by our sponsors and nico.

Post by: thegreatsze on January 13, 2007, 08:07:37 PM: well done all!

next up: a speed modelling compy? :P one week, one kit for all, OOB colours - this will cut down on the subjectivity!

of course, that would also go against the entire spirit of modelling ... but i am nonetheless curious.

The fastest contest we ever had was one month--and that was only SD's... I'm thinking a week would probably kill most of us... :lol:

Well it seems like 8 months is killing people too :)

We've lost 2 in the KKKKK and I am the only who has finished or posted progress in sometime. :razz:

Congrats to all the winners! very nice pieces indeed

Post by: FichtenFoo on January 14, 2007, 10:09:39 AM: Don't worry about the KKKKK and the dropouts. I think most folks are waiting on Fulcy's bells, and other parts to start their kits.

Post by: WhiteBase on January 15, 2007, 07:49:09 AM: It was an honour to be even mentioned, what more to be in the same league as the big guns here.

Sorry about that--it's a result of the forum migration. We've fixed all the links for the MotM entries in 2007, but I'll try to get some time to go get the MotY entries taken care of as well.
