Threads of the Month: August.

[Vanamonde]

"What are this month's threads of the month?" I hear you say. Well, I'll tell you what are this month's threads of the month... 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First up, how about this bit of impressive modelling? 

It not only looks like the real thing, but has working deck elevators, planes with folding wings, and blast deflectors. Nice work, @Makc_Gordon.

Discover how creative your fellow forum members are by visiting @cratercracker's busy space art thread. 

And while you're there, why not submit something?

After indulging in some pretend rocket science around Kerbin, you might enjoy applying the acumen you've accrued to the mental challenge of a proposal to send an amateur rocket to orbit the real Earth. If so, click on @sevenperforce's thread by that very name. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't forget our International friends, from whom we get this combination of aeronautical art and a KSP building challenge. 

Thank you to international moderator @EBOSHI for creating that thread. (Google translate might be handy while visiting that one.) 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We usually honor newish threads that started during the month in question, but how about a thread that's been running for sixty-three months? In this month's place of honor, we give you: 

Yes, after more than five years, star forum citizen @boolybooly is still actively maintaining this classic challenge, encouraging participants, and updating the scoreboard. If you aren't familiar with the thread, check it out because it's a bit of KSP history, having started way, way back, when aerodynamics and ship parts were very different. (Unfortunately, some of the pictures have been lost to the sands of time, but then, so has the Sphynx's nose. )

Congratulations to this month's selections! If you'd like, there's a handy badge for you to put into your thread's OP:

I LITERALLY TRIED TO EXPRESS MY EMOTIONS BY 19 DIFFERENT SENTENCES AND NONE OF THEM SHOWED IT ACCURATLY.

SCREW THIS.

I AM TOO HAPPY TO CONSTRUCT NORMAL SENTENCES.

[cratercracker]

This is just in time for my latest project, being done.

Thank you again.

Congratulations everyone! I WILL GET TOTM ONE DAY! Maybe if I built 1:1 replicas of all the active American fighters to go with my Hornet...

[Just Jim]

Awesome, the one I wanted made it! Congrats to everyone, great choices!

The best way to let us know about good threads is to PM one of the mods about it, or report the post with a message like "I nominate this for TOTM." (We don't really like the second method, but it does work.)
