wow, you guys can't be serious right.

I think what Scott and the admin are doing with the contest is great, and to get sponsors to donate thousands of dollars worth of prizes is even better. It is not as easy as you think to first off run a forum but to set up a contest for YOU the modeler to enter, take part in, and most important have fun. A lot of thought and consideration goes into setting up a contest and keep it fair to all, but still be fun. Now because you didn't win a new AB you want them to change the rules.  I'm sorry fellas, but maybe you need to sit back and just think of what you can do better to improve your skills as a modeler, instead of trying to force other who spend lots of time learning new skills and entering.

I think maybe at the next AMPS Nats I'll ask them to change the rules so I have a better chance at winning and advance to the Masters level........NOT. I will instead improve my skills and have fun entering.

Scott (ECH) and Iain I agree with you two for sure. Seems a lot of people have forgotten what the hobby is all about. No one here makes a living from building models. Yes we make a few dollars here and there, but we are still just normal guys who enjoy building models and some times enter contests to have FUN.

I would not be surprised if this thread gets locked, as with the ranting about cliques ( not click) and social clubs.

BTW. I won't be entering because I won't have time again this year to finish the model entered.

Cheers from the social club
