Kitbash / Frankenstein GB - Winner's Poll
« on: May 23, 2025, 10:03:47 PM »
Okay . . .
So I've been a bit remiss with this, but here's the Winner's Poll for the 2025 Kitbash / Frankenstein GB.
You have TWO votes, (which you can change if you feel like it), and the Poll runs until Saturday June 6th.
That's it, Vote Early, Vote Often, and may the best model (or Profile) win . . .

cheers,
Robin.

Yup. Personally, I voted early ... I reckon that'll reduce the odds that I'll get noticed when I sneak back in later to vote a second time   ;)

I intend to leave the Poll open until tomorrow morning UK time, to allow everyone in the US and Canada time to vote.
If it's still a tie, either I can decide as Group Build Leader, or we can have a Run-Off Vote . . .

cheers,
Robin.

I second the motion for dual winners if the tie persists.

Okay, the Poll is now closed , and indeed, we have joint winners . . .
Congratulations to both Kerick's Alabama Slammer, and the good Dr. Yokai's Romeo tris harder.
Excellent models both, and also well done to all the other participants, there's been a fine crop of models in this Group Build, and those of you who didn't manage to complete theirs on time, please get them finished, I for one would love to see the results . . .

cheers,
Robin.

Honestly, I was surprised (and delighted) to have done this well. Congratulations to my colleague, Kerick.

Regarding the sparse voting over all, I did a little looking, and it still surprises me that given the number of views any thread typically receives,
(usually at least several hundred by the end of a GB, sometimes thousands), the votes are almost always just a few dozen. ???

I don't always take part in these, but the motivation they provide is always worth it. Thanks again for moderating, Robin.

Well done guys, not my best showing this time, but I can console myself that I was up against some stiff competition.

Fantastic builds guys, very worthy winners.
