    Did anyone see the 2012 Spring contest entries?

    This is my first contest I entered and I viewed all the entries and everyone did a good job. Lots of creative, well painted, and nicely built models. Hard for me to vote... What stands out for me are the incredible paint jobs everyone did. That's my 2 cents.
