congratulations Fred, and to all the other entrants the level was very high and was hard to separate and score.
Points must have been tight.
There were some good comments on the builds as well, some constructive feedback

Congratulations, both on a great build, and on winning the GOTM award.
One request to ADMIN. for all future GOTM comps
As you change the fist header post for each months entries, could you please LINK them to the build diaries, if any......this would save a lot of forum members having to search for these build diaries, especially if they were started quite a while ago, but only finished recently.
Maybe make entry, If you have started a build diary, you have to finish your build diary before entry for GOTM...ties up loose ends, on both ends

good idea Tweaky and I think if the builder has made an effort to keep an informative build diary they should get an extra half or full point on their score depending how detailed it is.

It just seems a bit rude to start a build diary, and somebody might be intrigued enough to want to follow it........ then it .... nothing .
Suddenly ... HI ! Finished my build ! Here it is ! ....Yeah! Thanks for that
I don't know about you, but that doesn't help anybody IMHO, and is not in this community spirit of helping each other.
Hi Tweaky I can understand your frustration. This does happen on some build diaries and I'd say work/family/busy life got in the way of keeping the diary up to date.
Some people enter their build without any build diary. Depends if the builder has time to keep it up to date or even start one.
But I think Admin talked about a bonus point score for a good build diary which will encourage builders to keep an up to date build diary

I second that!
I've actually now added links to my build diaries into my signature too. It is a bit hard sometimes to find people's build diaries.
Cheers!
