Ladies and Gentlemen, members of the jury, his holiness the Pope, it`s now time for the What If Academy to present the 2014 Whiffie Awards.

(Applause rings out and then dies down...)

Thank you, thank you everyone. It`s been a long hard year in the world of What if modelling with many a modeller suffering the effects of PSR, Super Glue malfunctions and canopy's misting up for no real good reason. But saying that, What If modellers around the world have persevered to create plastic masterpieces and it`s now time to honor those modellers.

So with no further ado, lets head to our first group of finalists and name some winners......
