| Welcome to our Contest!! As a way of thanking our fellow TIG'ers we are running a 20 questions contest for a chance to win this BEAUTIFUL Luke Oil painting from fellow TIG member Steve Dwyer!! Give his website a look at www.stevedwyerart.com It's very simple! Answer all 20 questions via Email to Imperialgunnerycontest@gmail.com by May 4th, 2012 11:59pm EST. The person with the most correct answers wins! In the event of a tie, all high scoring names go into a Stormtrooper Helmet and a winner will be picked at random. If you have any questions on the contest questons, please PM me. This is available to members only (no mods, admins, devs) and you must have 30 posts of substance (not just "nice", "looks great" e.g.).
