April Fools' joke! I will go back tomorrow and vote.

Anyway, could the contest be broken down some more? To:
Just models, no figures not diarama
models with figures
models with diarama

My figures are ungodly and I think it would be unfair to someone just entering a model to compete with someone with the skills to model figures and a convicing diarama.

Has anyone looked at the past winners to see if there is a relationship or am I just making it more complicated then i needs to be?

I think that would be unrealistic, given the relatively small total number of entries each month. This isn't Euromilitaire or AMPS.

Having a contest between, say, 10, 12 or 15 builds keeps it viable. But once you start breaking that number down still further, you're going to get several subcategories in which the number of entries can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

In any case, (a) the rules are quite strict as to when an entry becomes a diorama (and thus ineligible) and (b) simply putting a vehicle into a diorama context (or indeed adding figures to it) doesn't necessarily make it "better".

Sometimes less is more.

Keith, I'm also having trouble accessing the voting link (time here: 13:20 CET on 2nd April)

My vote is in! Very nice entries. Good luck to all!

To the Staff - The "new and Improved" DMOM is freakin' outstanding! Much more user friendly and better advertised. Thank you for your hard work and the much needed improvements!
