Congrats Jochen! Spectacular build!

And everyone else who entered, there were so many great builds and it made it hard to pick a favorite. There was lots of eye candy in the contest thread!

Strong showing by the race cars this year!

[ChillyB]

I'm proud to rank 23rd in this company! And congratulations to everyone who participated. Jochen got my first place vote, too.

By the way, I wanted to thank you in particular, Hawk. Year after year, you are one of the first ones to send in you entry, and all your builds are truly spectacular. I always catch myself going to your WIP threads looking at your builds. Thanks for making this year contest a success with yet another beauty!

[Capri-Schorsch]

Congratulations to the winners!

Congrats Jochen!

Thanks for your votes for my model!


Alex, Christophe, Bernard, Antonio, Tang and Alex, thanks for your work organizing AFMOTY! I will be glad to participate in next year AFMOTY!

[joelwideqvist]

Well worth first place! Congrats Joschen and all other entrants!

[Hemi Killer]

It was honestly really hard to choose. Everyone's builds were great, and It could have easily been a multi-way tie for every spot. Some day, I will have something actually finished 100% to contribute. That in itself is an accomplishment.

A big thanks to Alex for organizing this contest again, to all you guys who helped to make it possible, and to anyone who took the time to send in their votes!
It was much fun to keep track of the scores, the battle for 1st and for 3rd place was pretty close and intense at times!
Congrats to all the winners!

He he, my 2 favorites are 1st and 2nd
Congratulations to them, I think only the weathering of the 917 made the difference because at least a dozen of the builds deserved a medal.

And congratulations to some others too (I think firun and afxracing amongst others) who succeeded in making bits of plastic look like MFH kits (that, in a sense, require less work because "everything is in the box")

[jochen kieslich]

Unbelievable.......................what a close-run thing.....;-))
first of all a big applause for all competitors, being with you and all these great miniatures of yours is something very special and respectable!!!
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT by voting for my 917LH.
Thanks for making this contest happen, for all the work you put in organizing, counting, writing............THANKS!!
Very encouraging, motivating and supportive. Standing on the virtual podium with Georgos and paparadiation makes me very proud, fantastic miniatures and great efforts on your builds.....

All the best,
Jochen

Guys, what do you think about launching AFMOTY as standalone annual online contest? I can develop website and integrate it with Facebook or Twitter for example.
