Greg,
Being the curious one, i went to check this out. I did NOT find the apc you
have listed among the choices for this months model in the Builders Gallery.
I did, however, see "large tracked vehicle", from this site:
http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Runway/1604/bigtread.html
This is listed in first place, and was submitted by an 11 year old from
Canada. This is obviously not the case.
This model can alse be seen on the Expert Builder site at
http://www.execulink.com/~apotome/archives/m0010.htm
It's making me wonder about the validity of the contests on the Lego site.
(Admittedly, I've wonder about ALL online Lego contests, as there really
isn't a way to determine if the person actually made the model.)

| Well color me surprised. That's definitely my model ... but I ain't 10 years old and I ain't in Canada (not that there's anything wrong with being 10 years old and living in Canada ... it just ain't me). I sent an e-mail to webclub@lego.com earlier (...) (25 years ago, 3-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)
