And my runners up are number 5 and 8.

Overall of the GB quality is good. If have seen a lot of models made by "grown ups" that dont look that good!

You should all be proud of your build!

I'm a sucker for weathered armor, so rebel, you get my vote for no 1. However, that M4 is a VERY close second. This is SUCH a nice and clean build, it really shows a lot of time and dedication went into it.

Mmm.......sure is difficult to choose between them, they all do you guys proud. If I had to nail it down I would vote for rebelreenactor's sdkfz 10/4, its a very well done build.
For a close second, I would go for the C-54 by Lucien Harpress. Good,clean build.

Thanks for sharing your builds with us, you young guns are doing a great job!

I think they're all winners! I can find something unique about each one that shows the modellers attention to detail, effects, quality of build, etc. Each of you has done a fine job and I'd be proud to call anyone of them mine. I believe the poll will determine best overall and my vote is in agreement. Once again, you each are winners. Semper Fi, Mike

Hard to choose. They're all great builds but Rebel I've already commented on the 10/4 before, awesome, love the 7tp and the monitor/virginia and I'm always a sucker for a 109... and... and...

See what I mean!!!

Well this was hard to judge... every one of them had something about it I liked. Rebel did a bang up job on the 10/4 and I love the paint chipping and rust he did on it.

I like Double D's Polish 7tp because it is something different, it's too easy to build the mainstream models but choosing one off the beaten path makes for something interesting for the spectator.

The Tankster shows he put a lot of effort into that cockpit and it looks great!

YG has a very crisp build there in that Sherman... great job on the paint!

Gringe did an great job on that dio, I especially like the smoke done with the cotton, nice job on portraying that billowing smoke.

Scer gets an A for once again picking something a little left of center to build. Good job on the weathering.

Lucien Harpress has guts just for building things that small... nice clean look to the finished kit.

All of you did a great job and as has been said, you've all got something to be proud of!!! My hat is off to you gentleman...

Very impressive array gentlemen. This is why I don't post my builds that often, because they pale in comparison.

Reb gets my vote for the halftrack. Runner-up to Tankmaster's 109, I just can't build wingies, and Gringe gets my show vote for his ironclads. I love naval Civil War.

There are no losers here, you guys all rock. So when is YG III?

I won't vote as I'm mad at all of you for being better than I am! (kidding!).

Seriously though, you have all done an amazing job. Rebel you get my top vote as I'm a sucker for halftracks and you've done a truly marvelous job, Tankmaster7 gets the next (how does I guy with a nic like Tankmaster7 build A/C so well). Excellent camo on that 109! Gringe gets the next for his historical dio, great job of making two boring looking ships look exciting!

All of you have done a fabulous job, and as others have already said, there are no losers. Looking forward to viewing pics of the next GB!

So long folks!

Heh heh heh, I like to live dangerously!

But let me explain that the history of the ships are far from boring, it's just that they don't really look that interesting!

So long folks!

A sweet selection of builds all round guys nice job. In no particular order I like the 109 - opened glazing with very crisp framing and drooped flaps - by Tankmaster7; Lucien Harpess' C-54 (very clean build and NMF to boot); and Rebel your Halftrack just rocks dude.
