An honored member needs our help - win some minis!

**Oberst Hajj** · 11-15-2011 02:13

Raffle sales are now closed!!

Our honored member and friend, Ken "The Cowman" Head, has found him self in need of our help and support.

As many of you know, Ken has multiple health issues that effect his daily life. These issue have recently placed him in a situation where he has to move on rather short notice.

Ken has always given freely help and advice here on the site and in the real world to anyone that needed it. He as always shown the utmost respect and comradeship to everyone one here at the Wings of War Aerodrome.

With the help of brelly (Paul), I would like to take this time to help Ken out in return.

Paul has graciously donated his recent "Spirit of St. Nick" SPAD XI build to this cause.

Prize Sets

Set 1 Received by Wargamer
SPAD XI "Spirit of St. Nick"
Wings of War Barker Camel

Set 2 Selected by Attila57 and given back to Ken.
"Cowman" Camel card stock miniature

Set 3 Received by Jager
Wings of War Bishop SE5a

Set 4 - Selected by Willi Von Klugermann
Custom painted Pfaltz D.III "Red Heart"

Set 5 Won by Canuck
Custom Fokker Decals for:
Jacobs(Dr.1)
Jacobs (D7)
Loernzer (D7)
Menchenov (D7)
Buchner (D7)

Here is how this will work. I will hold an old fashion raffle for the two miniatures. For every $5 that you donate to the site, you will receive 1 raffle ticket. I have a whole roll of tickets and when I receive a donation, I will PM the member the number on the ticket. All tickets will go into a container and one of my step-daughters will draw the winning ticket. The winner will be contacted via PM for shipping information (shipping covered by Paul and I).

All of the donations that I receive during that time will be sent on to Ken to help him out with his move.

Important! When you make your donations, please Send me a PM stating how much you donated. This will help make sure everyone gets their medals. It may take me up to 24 hours to PM your raffle numbers to you, so please allow that amount of time before contacting me about them.

If any of the members in the US would also like to contribute a little more, please PM The Cowman for details on what household items you can send him.

Thanks to each and everyone of you that can help out!

How do we mail our donations Herr Oberst?
Rob.

**Oberst Hajj** · 11-15-2011 02:26

If you are wanting to mail physical items to Ken, you should PM him for the details.

**Nightbomber** · 11-15-2011 02:54

I am repeating Rob's question, Ken...

**The Cowman** · 11-15-2011 05:24

Rob and Andrzej, I have sent you a PM.

Keith, from the bottom of my heart, Thank you so much! Santa looks awesome!!!

Thank you all so much for helping out my Uncle Kenny (Ken)! He means the world to me, and I don't think I would be who I am without his influence and guidence. Seeing all of this support for him is wonderful. I don't think I could have joined a better gaming community.

**rote Flügel** · 11-15-2011 12:50

Jill
we think your Uncle is a pretty awesome guy... and it is our pleasure to lend a hand where it's needed.. I must admit, I too am glad to be part of such a caring and giving group of people..

**Guntruck** · 11-15-2011 12:56

With Keith's permission I would like to donate a third mini as a second prize for this raffle. I can't begin to properly thank those of you who have donated ... but very soon I will give it a go with words...

This mini was built for me by Getter1 a month or so ago and is one of the most unique in my collection, both for its "paint scheme" and for the fact that it is made COMPLETELY from paper. You can't tell.... but it is true. The man is amazing with Paper! See for yourself:

**Oberst Hajj** · 11-15-2011 18:44

Thanks for everyone's support! I've added two new prizes to the first post, so make sure to go back and check it out! Also, make sure to post about this on all your local and international gaming sites! Let's get the word out as much as we can!!

**Willi Von Klugermann** · 11-15-2011 19:08

It's a pleasure to help out Ken.

**alpine** · 11-15-2011 22:15

Donation sent! Quick question, does the raffle winner receive all 4 planes or will they be separated?

**Oberst Hajj** · 11-15-2011 23:39

As it stands now, the winner would get all 4 planes. If you guys prefer, we could separate them out to spread the love some more???

**Attila57** · 11-16-2011 00:02

I think you could separate them to spread to love some more. For example 1°-2°award (or 1° award) the exclusive custom minis ("Spirit of St. Nick" SPAD XI 2° award "Cowman" Camel) and 3°-4° (or 2°) award the other two minis.

But the raffle is a mere pretext.The award is to help Ken and we all will be winners participating. So, as you prefer.

**Oberst Hajj** · 11-16-2011 00:13

LOL, I sort of want to win that Cowman Camel!

**Burt** · 11-16-2011 00:23

Maybe you could have 4 winners and allow the first ticket first choice, 2nd ticket second choice etc.

**Jeff Cope** · 11-16-2011 05:22

I'm not really in a financial place to make a donation right now, but I sent Ken a PM to see if there's anything I can do or contribute upon his arrival in Ohio.

**Guntruck** · 11-16-2011 05:30

Great to see so many people watching Ken's six

**Attila57** · 11-16-2011 12:20

Well said. My compliments.

**The Cowman** · 11-16-2011 18:16

I really have NO say in this... and am still completely humbled.... It was my intention to offer the Cowmel as a "second " prize... just thought I would mention. The Boss has the final say of course. I am gonna go back to being humbled...

**Dwarflord22** · 11-16-2011 18:31

It is an honor and privilege to be offered the opportunity to support The Cowman!

**Watchdog** · 11-17-2011 00:54

I am in.

**Niek_vD** · 11-17-2011 02:10

Obviously with a St. Nick (nomen est omen) and a Cowmel (like that name - my daughter would love the plane) at stake I have to join in. All the best to Cowman!

Is there a plane card for the Cowmel?

**Bluedevil** · 11-17-2011 03:20

A lot of drops fill the ocean... just added mine

I will have to come up with one in the next couple of days.... Will take an overhead pic and create a card from that.

**Oberst Hajj** · 11-17-2011 06:20

Ken, I'll see if I can get Alan on this for you... should be a quick edit for him.

Roger that and thanks... will look better too if he does it!

**rote Flügel** · 11-17-2011 09:39

makes my heart swell to see this outpouring of support.. and .. I too would love a Cowmel in my hanger... might have to see if I can build my own Cowmel.. lol.. I think it's a great idea to add to the prizes.. splitting them up to go the farthest..

**crashx** · 11-17-2011 17:06

Hi Col, I have a budget crunch right now and would love to donate!!! Is it possible to keep this raffle open until Nov 23, drawing on the 24th??? It would be an honor to have Ken's Cow Camel flying in our games, and an even bigger honor to help out a fellow pilot!!!!!! Either way, we are here to help Ken, and it makes me proud to see everyone chipping in!!!

**Ed2** · 11-17-2011 17:50

Caught me at a bad time, but I'll take two tickets.

Hope things work out well for you Ken.

**Voss** · 11-17-2011 20:15

Donation inbound!
Let me know if you need anything else Ken.

**calfaber** · 11-17-2011 22:19
