Yep!

I got the official notification today! Sweet!

Thanks a bunch for helping out!

Feels good to know people are willing to pitch in for me! Even though the contest isn't about skill, or about who has the best model, it's still fun...and, the 100 dollar Hobbytown gift card will come in super handy! wokka-wokka!

Please remember to continue helping, if you're inclined!

Thanks for your support!

Thanks, Arnie...you're a true gentleman!

The voting period is from the 17th to the 24th....7 days in total, and it ends next Monday. So we each have 3 more votes to cast after today. (at least I think voting goes THROUGH Monday)

It's true, I have the lead now (which is super awesome!), but keep in mind he had me by some 26 votes the first two days, I only caught up yesterday, he seemed to have a lull in his progress...I believe it will be a close race up to the very end...he seems to be as tenacious as I am! haha

Voted. How many more days left?

Looks like you have a fairly healthy lead, deservedly so, even with that Enterprise is all nicely lit up, (and whats with the "smudge" marks?) it doesn't come close.

I have the lead! By 11 votes, but my main opponent is keeping pace!

Please, if you have been part of the *help Dave win* team so far, remember to continue voting each day! It's only with the support of my pals that I can pull this off!

And again...Thanks so much to all who have been helping out!

I know, I'm going to be annoying for a few more days...please have the compassion to tolerate me!

I've actually reached 2nd place as of right now....if you've been voting each day, please remember to help me again today...I need a big push to get into first (the 1st place entry has had a comfortable lead this whole time)...

Only 4 days of voting left!

Thank. You. All.

Thanks everyone for your support! Remember, if you voted yesterday, I could use your help by going back and voting again today, and every day until the 24th (5 days left!)....

And for those who choose not to vote, no worries! I understand that not everyone uses Facebook! I know you love me anyway! :)

By the way, just checked, and I'm in 4th place so far....11 votes from the lead...maybe I can pull this off!

Thanks again!!

Dave,

If there were a way to vote for you without re-joining Facebook, I would. As it is (I realized, after several months with a Facebook account and page, that I really, really dislike social media as it is currently concieved) I have no way that I know of to vote for you unless I were to opt back in to Facebook which I only regret because I can't cast my vote for you. Sorry.

Mike

Thanks, Arnie!

Seems a couple of other entries have a pretty good head start on me in terms of votes, but I hope I can count on my friends to keep me in the running, anyway!

On a side note, I agree that Facebook has its downsides (mostly the advertising stuff, but hey, somebody's gotta pay the bills, right?)...but I've found it to be a great way to keep in touch with old friends, and to share experiences...it it weren't for social media, I wouldn't have been able to get ahold of so many old classmates and co-workers!

You got my vote...even though I hate facebook. You have to "like" Hobbytown before it will let you see the pics and vote. Love the Chebec......love love love.

Hate facebook!....hate hate hate.

Posted by David_K on Monday, March 17, 2014 2:08 PM

Hey everyone!

Well, it's that time...another contest on Facebook, and another week of me bugging people to vote once a day for my entry! Of course, I realize that this contest is more a *popularity* contest than a gauge of skill...but no matter, there's still a prize, and glory to be had!

Voting is open to the public (meaning you need a Facebook account, but you don't have to be my friend on Facebook), lasts for 7 days. If anyone here has the inclination to help propel me into the lead, and possibly victory, please follow this link and vote for my Chebec model...I believe it's my finest work so far...though I know my skills have a long way to go yet!

Thanks in advance!!
