Incidentally I also awarded metal models (a matching pair of Panther and T-34) to Edwin Vos in 2003 for the good work he did running the Rugged Defense CM site.
I'd like to award more items to people (Trophies, Shields, Medals, Ribbons, metal models etc) for all sorts of achievements, that's why the only solution is for me to start my own site where I'm in complete control and can put my full weight into running it my way, and hand out awards to my members by the truckload.
Right T'Pau?
