Well, once again, I'm struggling with words, but a big thank you to all involved, Stev-o, Joe, Don and all who voted. I can only hope I don't disappoint with my next build ;)

Congratulation Rafi -  you set a new standard for sure, and left a lot of helpful pictures and detail behind in your build write up for future reference.  ;)

I'm not sure it's a good idea sending this trophy to Rafi. With his talent he'll build another BOTY around those parts. Congratulation!
