21. Deduct 5000 points if you ever used a penlight while judging.

That one knocked me out before I ever got to the last quetion..

I DO use a penlight (actually a Mini-Maglight with a right-angle attachment that I initially bought for inspecting rifle chambers) when I judge...

I only finished four models in 2011, but then that ship model was a major project.

Add 100 point if you post your completed model list on the the wrong thread.

Subtract 99 points if you post again to apologize .
