iModeler March Awards

April 13, 2015 · in Uncategorized · · 15 · 1.7K

It's time for another monthly retrospective at iModeler. Continuing our tradition, the editorial team awards the monthly Best in Show title to the article which according to our judgement was the most prominent entry of the period. We also list runner-ups as Honorable Mentions. We think that all are great modeling accomplishments that deserve recognition.

Participating in this firendly contest does not require any additonal effort - post a Headline article during the month and you're in. Following the formula of iModeler itself, we welcome all styles and levels of modeling, photography and writing.

iModeler Best in Show - March 2015

Attention to research, meticulous detail work, subtle weathering, exquisite bare metal parts plus the opportunity to follow the work in progress really sets off all the hard work that Danny Attree put into his 1/48 Kittyhawk MIG-25PD. We think that this contribution deserves our recognition as March 2015 iModeler Best in Show.

But wait, there is more! – the Random Award

We are also awarding a prize as a token of appreciation to all our contributors. This is selected through an entirely random draw among all the entries of the month. This time, our lucky winner is Emmanuel with the 1/72 Birdcage Corsair from Hasegawa. A big thank you for sharing all the modeling variety at iModeler!

  1. Great looking projects. Well done to everyone.

  2. Winners one and all...congrats to everyone. Hard to pick just ONE as the "Top Dog", though...that F-16 and Hellcat are outstanding builds - as are ALL the 'random' choices. But after following the progress of Danny's Foxbat, I have to agree with the ultimate decision, albeit a tough call.

  3. Well done all.
    A hard job to choose with excellent work all around.

  4. Congrats and well deserved!

  5. congratulations! Great looking piece!

  6. Congratulations, a wonderful example of our beloved hobby.

  7. congratulations to all, they all look magnificent!

  8. Wonderful work, everybody! The bar just keeps getting higher! If anyone had told me when I started out with that Aurora P-40 that we'd be here, I'd have just stared. Actually, I do a lot of that...

  9. May I add my congratulation to all of you for your magnificent work.

  10. Knowing from a friend just what Danny had to slog through with that KH MiG-25 kit to get the result he did, his accomplishment is really worthy of high acclaim. The Corsair is ver nice too, coming from that particular kit. Both modelers had to go that "extra' 10 kilometers to get where they arrived.

  11. Kudos to all the winners, nice cross section of entries.

  12. Excellent modelling shown here (as usual) Congrats to the winners

  13. Fantastic models, well earned congratulations to Danny and all the other winners.

  14. Thank you very much for the mention this month! I seen this on holiday abroad but couldn't respond till now, definitely made my week!
    Congratulations to the others recognised also! That Mig 25 really was something special though!
