Two months to go!!!.....AFMOTY05

Its that time of the year again !!! :grinno: :grinno:
The 4th annual AFMOTY CONTEST is getting close :grinyes: :naughty: :grinyes: :naughty:

Just to let you know i'm still around these forums and will be running another AF model of the year contest. :evillol:
Havent had the time to post or build much, but visit nearly everyday for a look!
The rules etc will be the same as the last 3 years, with the contest opening for entries on the 1st December 05.
Once again it will be open to the first 50 entries received.
For those of you that are new here...I'll post the rules below.
The only change this year will be the voting will only be open for 2 WEEKS....NOT 4 WEEKS

So if you havent got anything ready...now is the time to get something done!!!


PLEASE READ THE RULES SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE POSTING A QUESTION IF YOU HAVE ONE.



"AF's 2005 MODEL OF THE YEAR"

The rules ARE

*Only open to AF members who have joined AF BEFORE the 1st December 2005
*Must be a model built this year (2005) by a AF member before the 31st December 2005.
*Entry will open on the 1st December and close on 31st December 2005...NO models will be accepted before this date
*One photo only will be posted...so make it a good one.
*The photo MUST be uploaded from AF….no other site allowed to host your photo.
*Only ONE model per person.
*The contest will be open to the FIRST 50 MODELS I RECEIVE This is due to the large amount of people that are members on AF. So you will need to be quick if you want to enter.
*Open to cars and bikes only....any scale.
*The Modeling Mods decision will be FINAL.
*This is run as a Peoples Choice contest.....no category for different models

HOW TO ENTER.

*Two photos to be sent by Private Message to .....Me, "Primera Man"
*ONE photo for the contest…the SECOND photo to show that the model is yours. Take a photo of the model with you’re A.F name on a piece of paper with the model to prove it’s yours
*Photo's only...no text

HOW TO VOTE.

*Once all the cars have been intered I will make a thread at the start of the year.
*Each model will have a number to vote beside it, and the person who built the kit.
*To vote, simply send a PM to me with your vote....NO OTHER VOTES WILL BE ALLOWED
*You can vote for THREE (3) MODELS
1st=3pts
2nd=2pts
3rd=1pt

*Only AF members can vote that are members BEFORE the 31st December 2005. This will also stop people logging on with different names to vote again. If a vote is suspect, I can check it out and it will be deleted along with the entry of the model.
*You CAN NOT vote for your own model
*The thread will be locked so you can view it only.
*My idea of doing this is that it willl ONLY have the pics of the models.
*Stop's any AF Mod from deleting or changing the votes. This way if the poll is changed in any way I will know as I will have all the votes.
*The judges vote will be FINAL.
*In the event of a tie...i will go through the votes to see who had the most 3pt votes to get a winner.
*The updates of voting will be posted every 1-2 days
*Voting will finish on the 14th January 2006 and the winner can then show off as much as they like !!!

I will enter the contest, but in the event of myself coming first, the runner up will receive the prize

I will give a prize out to the winner.

I'll buy a kit of some kind for the winner (A new Tamiya/Revell/Fujimi)

If any body else wishes to add a prize…..let us know so it can be added to the winners list !!

Remember....this is just abit of FUN.....Don’t flame me or others if things don’t go your way. I'm doing this for SOMETHING THAT I HOPE YOU WILL ALL ENJOY AGAIN.
As I said before...you guys will have to trust me on this one with the voting. The only person that will see the voting will be Myself or the other modeling mods if I decide I need a hand with a decision. All I ask is for you all to be honest and help out our own little "AF Model Club"
You can help out by adding the contest into all of your sigs to remind people :naughty:

Goodluck to all of you that enter.
Look forward to seeing the entries for this year, and i'm sure it will be even harder to pick a winner with some of the outstanding models that have been built this year.

Cheers
PMan

This is gonna be FUN! :bigthumb:
Warren, thanks for running this great contest, your efforts are much appreciated!!

Thanks Warren! I! l'll get to work on my skyline.

Already! :eek: Man, where has this year gone....

Maybe if I start now, I can make it into AFMOTY 07.

hopefully my pro mod vette will be done in time. Its a subject that isn't as widely accepted around here, but hopefully things will be viewed on a level of detail and craftsmanship!!

Warren,

Thanks for hosting this every year. It is a great thing for the community

Whoa! I think i'll enter another EG:lol:

I'm in!:sunglasse I'll offer a prize as usual:)

Cheers mate, time to buy a new kit !!!
Mike :sunglasse

Woah...am I screwed...

Dare I enter another orange Viper?

Hi Warren
Just wondering about the uploading the pics on AF thing cause the AF gallery is not working?
Ive been trying for ages and will not work so i had to go to another picture host, and i think a few other people are having trouble to.
I made a thread about it but no one has found out?

Thanks Nathan

Hope they fix that gallery in time. I'll have to participate again this year. ->Thinking witch model to show :screwy:

Hmm maybe the L-series Hakosuka will be done by then...Of course most other models will be better.

Hmmm...what should I do to join the fun...Maybe another Enzo... :lol:

I don't feel as though I've even built anything this year. Time flies when you're half completing a bunch of projects....

shit im gonna have to hurry up my 1/8 vette, still waiting for resin parts in the mail

Ill be entering my pro mod gtx!

I havent been here much, but I figued I'd have a looksy at whats up with the AFMOTY. I'm suprised there hasnt been much talk about it. So heres an el bumpo for the AFMOTY05 Thread.

a few more days until entering!

Jez... That time again, must start work on that kit !

Wow, only 1 more day til it opens. I can`t wait to see what everyone builds for this year! Maybe next year I`ll have something contest worthy to enter. I just can`t believe this is number 4 already.
P-Man, are you going to have the Camaro ready?

well.....I have been WAY short on time....I'll probably be entering the Mustang Drag car I did. probably my most detailed work since the first of the year, I was hoping to have my corvette done, but It just isn't going to happen. nor will I have anything else finished before late december.....Dont want to chance the entries being filled up!
