I have updated my post in the middle of page 1 with general information about the voting process.  It's the same process as last year.  For everyone that has already sent their email addresses, you can ignore my post on page 1.  Check your PM for the same instructions + more. It's good to see so many of the IMS1 and IMS2 crew returning!  And it's always great to see new faces joining our ranks.  Kenny - you sure had a great idea two years ago.  I forsee a long tradition of IMS builds in the future. Those of you who have already posted your stash lists, please take one last look at them and make sure that's what you want.  I will start inputing data into the vote system over the next few days.

ah sir il thank you so much for taking care of the voting again it is a great help . as for this gb i am glad it has made it this far hopefully we can keep it going long into the future

Man, page 2 already? I've been slacking, I guess!

I am absolutely in. Can't wait for this one to get rolling again...really tried to give you guys some diverse stuff to vote on. Different subjects, different scales, different manufacturers. No doubt you will all find a way to MAKE ME PAY!

The stash list for THIS year's IMS is as follows: 

1/48 Academy MiG-29A
1/48 Accurate Miniatures IL-2 Sturmovik
1/48 Hobby Craft A-4C Skyhawk
1/48 Hasegawa P-40E
1/48 ICM Spitfire Mk.VII
1/48 Monogram F-5E Tiger II (Twobobs Aggressor Markings!)
1/48 Revell F-18E Super Hornet (Twobobs Markings, Eduard PE)

1/35 Academy AH-1W Super Cobra (w/Cobra Co. NTS upgrade)

1/35 Academy Merkava III
1/35 AFV Club Sturmtiger
1/35 Bronco Humber Mk. 1 (Legend Stowage)
1/35 DML M1A1 AIM
1/35 Italeri Pz.IV Ausf. F1 (Bison Hungarian Markings)
1/35 Tamiya Hetzer (Bison Hungarian Markings)
1/35 Trumpeter KV-II

Tried to include any AM that I'll be using, but I'm pretty sure I don't remember all of what's in the individual boxes. I'll hold off on the kit thumbnails until the voting page is up...actually managed to find all of the actual boxings I've got. Nifty. Let's roll!

Kenny, I am here to re-enlist.  Where do I sign?  You didn't think I'd miss out on the 'Hattrick' did ya??

I'm in again this year! This time I promise to finish on time, though! (but, don't hold me to that!)

The stash has grown quite alot since last year, so I still have to decide what to put on the list.

Oh, yeah, I should have last years' build done this week.......mabye!

Yeah, I know, that's why it is not going to appear on the list. I wanted to leave the outcome somewhat to chance (or your guys' preference). Had I thrown it on the list, I may as well have started in on it NOW because it was a 98.56% favorite to win the race.

That, and I haven't been able to score all of the additional AM crap I want to throw in it's general direction when I do finally get around to building it (IMS4 - Four-Way?).

Dave Snowberry eh!  I hope your workbench is set up for that monster, were'nt you doing renos in that part of the house?.

Boyd are you planning a case of german flu again

 Sir IL2 I will post my list next week as I should be getting some goodies for my birthday.

Cheers

Bear

Bear,

I certainly hope not!!!   But, only time, and my weak immune system can tell...

Bear, I have/am indeed involved in renovations but the worst of it is over.  Built a second bedroom in what was the garage and moved my model bench into what is now the den off the family room.  My oldest son was using it for a bedroom but he is avery light sleeper so we could never watch tv after he was in bed so we sent him packing off to the other side of the house.  Picked up a cheap desk from Zellers that fit the new spot perfectly and got a display case at an auction and I'm all set.  Just need to build a new tool bench in the laundry room and a few other minor things and then the kitchen floor...  you know the drill! 

The new bench...

The new display case, and yes the Snowberry and the U-Boat will fit in it.

Well, you did a jet last time.  Time to switch it up.  

Maybe.

Guess I am on the wrong forum, haha I am the only one that has non military auto's

I do have a Panther Tank but tis in storage somewhere and has already been cracked open :( 

Oh well I guess I give the build a little flava!

haha

For everyone that has posted their stash lists: I have added them to the Voting System.  At your leisure, please check your list for accuracy.

I will perform another "stash list roundup" in a couple days.

Cheers fellas

*Hella*

I tried to mix it up as best I could... Armor, aircraft, ship (OK PBR is technically a ship), a couple of non military autos, even a helicopter.  Guess I could swap out a 1/12 Tamiya RC211V GP motorcycle for some REAL flavor, but that'd make more work for IL2... I'll keep my list the same.  Besides, the motorcycle... it SCARES me.

Could that Speeder Bike box be ANY more beat up?  Looks like it's been on the bottom rack for a WHILE.

sweet Smitty, sounds good!

IL, scale is missing from Razor's list.  Minor issue.

Too bad the camera didn't pick up the mold on the box. And, it's near impossible to replace the lid after opening it!

Smeagol,

Mystery Machine?!?  How'd that get in there?
