With the recent turn of events, one may ask was 'Tank of the Month Competition" such a good decision ?
Do not get me wrong, I do not condem nor condone anyones decision to vote for a Tank of the Month, but merely reflect on the recent turn of events that a "Competition " has led too.
This is such a good forum, I hope it will remain so.

Cheers

I agree with Tom, it's a great place for members to show off their work and I'm sad that it has led to members leaving the forum as they will be sadly missed. I think everyone needs to keep a sense of proportion and just enjoy the forum and the great contributions from all the members.

I reckon it's a great addition to the forum, it is the one place where members can see the quality of the builds that are out there, and get an opportunity to say which one they think is the best. I never cease to be amazed at how real some of the pics look. :thumbup:

Well a quick calculation tells me that if Tom enters a tank every other month, he will still be going until halfway through 2018..... :crazy:

This would require me to actually finish a project! (which has been a struggle recently).

Herman you're most kind! I'm sure the Sturm will be entered at some point (it's one of my favourites too!)
