KirTech LAB Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 Making one 500 part model is tough but 3 of them is exponentially harder Absolutely agree - it seems not all of the contestants have noticed this rule... Quote
Seasider Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 Do you think some of the models are over the 500 part limit then ? Mine took a lot of effort to get down to the limit ... thankfully LDD was my friend ! Quote
Jim Posted December 3, 2013 Author Posted December 3, 2013 Can't find a voting True! Need to collect all entries. Voting will go live somewhere this week Quote
Jim Posted December 3, 2013 Author Posted December 3, 2013 This might be the voting scheme btw (like seen before here on EB). Vote for 3 models (no more, no less), 10 points total, maximum of 5 per model. For example EntryA 5, EntryB 3, EntryC 2 Or EntryA 5, EntryB 4, EntryC 1 Or EntryA 4, EntryB 4, EntryC 2 Or EntryA 4, EntryB 3, EntryC 3 This pretty much sums up the options if I am not mistaken. You get 10 points and need to divide it over the entries you want, with a 5 point max per model. The voting thread will be ready on Friday max (possibly earlier). Quote

For those of you who are interested, here's the entry list, totaling 32!!!! NOTE! This is NOT the Voting Topic! I am working on it.

Jim Posted December 4, 2013 Author Posted December 4, 2013 Almost done with the Voting thread! I have collected all models and linked them to the entry topic! Need to finish some small details before the voting can begin. Quote
DLegoT Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Yahoo! :) Let's begin voting Edited December 4, 2013 by DLegoT Quote
MrNumbskull13 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Is it a link to our entry topics or THE entry topic? Quote
Lipko Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) I think you should link THE entry topic, because most of us have only WIP topics. It's easy to make a link that jumps to an entry, since since the #number at the posts are links that point to the bookmarks of the posts. Or something... Edited December 4, 2013 by Lipko Quote

It's easy to make a link that jumps to an entry, since since the #number at the posts are links that point to the bookmarks of the posts. Or something... Agreed! It could be difficult for voters to see which post is the final entry in a WIP topic, which also potentially has several pages of replies, updates and opinions. Maybe a little more work for Ted, but hey; that's why he's such a great Moderator! Quote
Jim Posted December 5, 2013 Author Posted December 5, 2013 I have linked all entries to their official entry post. Why? First of all because that's the official entry, the WIP is just....a WIP. Secondly not everybody has a WIP, so to be consistent, I justed the official links. There are however some people who have just put a link in the official entry topic, linking to their WIP. I will accept that for this time, but next contest you really need to post pictures in the entry topic. Let me see if I can get that Voting topic online. Quote
Jim Posted December 5, 2013 Author Posted December 5, 2013 The Voting Topic is live!! Vote now!! Quote
Sebeus I Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 I cast my votes, presentation is important, especially for a voting thread good pictures are vital, I saw multiple entries that may be awesome models but since the pictures were so poor they didn't really look appealing . Quote

I absolutely agree with you. Building is one thing, but presenting your build in an appealing way is key in a contest! Fortunately, there were some participants who went the extra mile to go out and take some pictures in the model's "natural habitat". Thumbs up for them Quote
Seasider Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Lots of great entries ... was difficult to decide who to vote for good luck everyone Quote
Lipko Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Brickshelf is down..... Some of our entries are totally screwed because of this. Could we close voting for a day, so that we can upload or pictures somewhere, and fix our entries? I think it's time to give up that brickshelf crap once and for all. Quote
Lipko Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Panic over. And some chocolate Santaclauses got also squished while I was yelling and cursing and crying. How long was brickshelf down? Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Voted! There are some amazing entries. Thanks! I cast my votes, presentation is important, especially for a voting thread good pictures are vital, Totally agree! Edited December 5, 2013 by dhc6twinotter Quote
DrJB Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 I just noticed that the links to some photos do not always work, and sometimes this may cause voters to pick the wrong entry, especially entries 22/23. Quote
JGW3000 Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 i'd love to vote, but alas joined this forum too late. Kudos and congratulation to all of the entries, certainly some are inspiring and very well done Quote

Kudos and congratulation to all of the entries, certainly some are inspiring and very well done You can still vote (there is a separate thread for voting) ... but however you can no longer submit entries (take part) in the competition.

You can still vote (there is a separate thread for voting) ... but however you can no longer submit entries (take part) in the competition. That's not what he meant. You are not allowed to vote if you joined after the contest started. This is to avoid fraudulent voting. However... i'd love to vote, but alas joined this forum too late. Kudos and congratulation to all of the entries, certainly some are inspiring and very well done ....since you are an active member and not entered EB just to vote, you've got my special permission to cast your vote! Go for it Quote
