Sorry for the delay due to problems I had to take care of .....
Here is the thing we have included in all of the Group Builds - a Members Choice Award,
the Best Model Overall, based on the number of votes by Members...

Poll will run for 10 days, so get your vote in for whose model you deem Best in Show.......


Here's a link that has all the Finished Builds:

Ralph's Tempest for me…

They are all incredible. I voted for the J7W. I guess it's because I'm wondering if Shinpachi is okay.

All great builds. The members choice poll for me is the most accurate of the judging.

Very tough choice.

Went with Andy's Folgore in the end

Then perhaps I shouldn't bother spending hours of my time doing it.

Up to you Andy but I would say probably not for the judged part. Members poll is best.

Well, if the members poll is "best" then I would ask that other GB participants chime in with their opinions. I can't speak for Wayne Little , Wurger and Airframes but if you and other GB participants would rather see builds judged solely on the members poll then I would be HAPPY (note emphasis) to stop spending many hours of my valuable time poring over the entries and assigning scores based on build quality, paint, and decal application. Believe me, it's not easy and, quite frankly, often a pain in the ass.

Up to you guys.

I would say I appreciate the judges time, effort and expertise in providing impartial and technical application of their opinions. That's my thoughts on the matter.

 

[SaparotRob]

Which ever way is most impartial is the best way to judge. I believe our judges, longtime members, have seen it all. They have been doing it with the right skills to judge. I don't think they can be swayed by sentimentality. If it's a B-17, it'll probably get my vote, for instance.
The members poll is a lot of fun for us. It really is tough to call which build is the "winner of winners".
