Hello TOTM fans
Here we are again with another chance to post your pride and joys, with the added bonus that one of you will have your model featured in our most prestigious Winners Gallery
And another of you will automatically earn a place in our December Christmas special for another bite at the cherry
So step right up, you have 7 days to post up to 8 visual representations of the single RC model you'd like us to drool over, metaphorically speaking, no actual drool will end up smothering your models, unless you are a dribbler
8 visual representations means that you can post either pictures or videos, or a combination of both types up to 8 in total.
A description of what's been done to it, giving credit to any third parties that have done any of the work would be most helpful, and a link to a build thread within the description is also acceptable
Please find this month's chat thread here.

Unfortunately we are now down to just two submissions because someone got very salty and childish and threw their toys out of the pram. Which resulted in them editing all their posts in all seven of their threads, around 40 posts in all, including their TOTM entry, with just a few full stops.
Why may you ask, then I shall tell you why. . .
They posted a derogatory remark about Jo Biden within a TOTM thread. As you know, as a forum team, we remove such remarks for forum harmony, it matters not where abouts on the political spectrum any of us are. A polite PM was sent to the offending poster explaining the situation.
Sadly this former member decided to take it overly personal and had a bout of the terrible two's.
They didn't even bother to reply to the PM.
Therefore, the Torro Tiger1 in the middle is no longer with us, along with them.

This is unfortunate, polarization and the internalization of politics are brewing a world of discontent within ourselves and with others, many of which would have naturally been an ally. We need to always remember that we all have more in common with each other than our differences. This hobby, like all hobbies, games and gatherings should offer to remind us of just that and work to bring people together.

We have no problems with people having heated political discussions, just keep them on dedicated political discussion forums. Just in case people don't realise, this is a radio controlled military model forum
The funny thing is, we are sure it was this particular member who voiced that they were banned from a Facebook group, of which they didn't know why.
Sorry, we're not giving out prizes for an accurate guess.
