That new tradition is to publicly recognize what we consider the best armored car/ WFV related model products released in each calendar year. These Awards will be called the "WarWheels.Net Hobby Modeling Awards", AKA "The Wheelies". We will award a framed certificate to the manufacturers who we have deemed to be the winners of awards in each of the following three (3) categories: Best Armored Car/WFV Model Kit (Any Medium) Best Armored Car/WFV Aftermarket Item Best Armored Car/WFV Reference (Book/Magazine/CD-ROM) To help us determine these winners, we need some help from YOU. We are looking for you to provide us with nominations for award finalists in the above three categories. Therefore, we hope you can send us 1-2 product nominations for each of the "Best Of" categories. Your nominated products can be produced in any scale, medium or representing any era, but must have been released in 2008, need to "fit" in one of the three product categories and need to be Armored Car/WFV related or products that can be used in conjunction with armored car/WFV models. By our definition, an armored car/WFV is any wheeled vehicle that is armored (either with or without weapons) OR a wheeled vehicle that is un-armored, but is equipped with weapons AND the vehicle has a primary purpose of offensive or defensive combat operations including reconnaissance. The only exceptions to this definition are motorcycles. For example, a "deuce and half" cargo truck with a machine gun mounted is NOT considered a WFV; but a Vietnam Era M35 Gun Truck IS considered a WFV. We will accept nominations until December 31, 2008. Once we reach the nomination deadline, Dave and I will choose and announce the finalists in each category. VERY Soon after the finalists are determined, we will choose and announce the winners of each award. The finalists and winners will be determined by Dave and me based upon a number of factors including your nominations. Okay, now that all the B.S. has been explained, we need your nominations. Please send in your nominations to the e-mail address patrix1@hotmail.com . We definitely look forward to your ideas and participation!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
