I am all for blowing your own horn.

Well thanks for the nominations for my http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,23088.msg350614.html#msg350614 and http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,21076.msg365398.html#msg365398.
Can I blow my own trumpet and add my http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,21075.msg340144.html#msg340144 (upper thumbnail) and my http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,26829.msg397637.html#msg397637 (lower thumbnail)?

I still don't know for sure is the administrator of this forum has decided on a "virtual modeler" kind of category... So just in case there is one, allow me to present some of the stuff I did that was especially appreciated by those who visited my gallery (don't like to blow my own horn but since the category doesn't seem to exist, I guess no-one would think of nominating any of this stuff, anyway!). I'm sorry but I just cannot choose which one to nominate for myself!

AERO COMMANDER XL-29


BEECHCRAFT TWIN MENTOR

(It all seems like a lot but I posted more than 80 whifs since I joined!)

Thanks to you all for taking the time to look at these and maybe suggest one or two of these for last minute inclusion!

(oh, and if you've never visited my gallery, please do.)

Weaver,
Unfortunately Eddie didn't finish this before the New Year but it definitely will be in the 2010 Whiffies.

Stargazer,
We did set up a new category called Best Imager to recognize those like you, Spinners, and others.

Aw c'mon: it was for a GB that was supposed to end on 15th Dec, then was extended to 31st Dec, then 4th Jan in order to get ANY finishers. It's very much a 2009 build. Bit of leeway please?

Robert, you're a genius! I've just gone through 30 pages of your thread that I had not yet seen, and they're chockful of whif delight!

Anything by you deserves nomination... and a prize at the end!

[ChernayaAkula]

Is there a deadline for the nomination process?

[philp]

Is there a deadline for the nomination process?

Haven't confirmed with the rest of the Academy yet but think the Sway thread nominations will run through the end of January.  At that point we will gather all of the info and create Category Nomination polls with everything that fits each category (some of these could be big).  Two weeks of voting on these will give us our final 5 in each category to vote on who gets the Whiffies.

Almost missed this one from the darkmaster

Magnificent stuff! I'm always amazed at the number of gifted whiffers I didn't know before...
