TECHNIC MINI BUILD CONTEST - RESULTS

First of all I would like to thank all contestants for joining this great competition. You have shown the community some outstanding MOCs!! Voting proved to be very hard.

Unfortunately I had to disqualify the Specialized Mountain Bike because it wasn't a new MOC. My apologies for not having disqualified the entry before the voting. It was clearly stated in his topic, but I have somehow missed the intro text

I have manually checked all new members (who joined after the start date) and they all seem to be legit. Furthermore, the Top 3 outcome would not have been different. So I have decided to whitelist all new members.

Without further ado I hereby present to you the winning entries!

1st

Menck Cable Bucket Excavator by Doc_Brown.

After last contest's Silver medal, Doc has earned his first Gold medal with his marvelous Excavator. Congratulations!

2nd

Retro Car by super-jaschka

This car is so exquisite, that I wouldn't be surprised if TLG knocked on your door

3rd

Grand Prix Racer by Jeroen Ottens

A wonderful interpretation of what the Mini Grand Prix Racer could look like as an official set

I will contact the winners via PM to handle their prizes.

[jorgeopesi]

Congratulations to the winners, I'm glad machinery win against cars .

[Boulderer]

Congratulations to all the entrants, and especially to the top three.

I'm sure there will be a few debates to follow, regarding the results ... inevitable given so many great entries and such a diverse approach to the subject.

Thanks Jim for getting all this reviewed and published so quickly!

[zweihander]

Congratulations to the winners, it is a well-deserved victory for all of you. Also congratulations to all the entrants, it was a lot of fun competing with you all.

And I have to say, I'm really amazed by the creativity in this contest, it shows us what Lego is all about, imagination.

[Edwin Korstanje]

Great words Erelender

[Boulderer]

I feel I've had an educational introduction to the EB community. It's been an eye opening few weeks, watching the entries evolve and to see the skill and imagination that has been on show. I've said it before ... its stirs a mix of inspiration and intimidation

[Balrog]

Congratulations!

That's exactly why we need a running contest at all times

It simply adds so much value to the community.

[Alasdair Ryan]

Well done to all the winners.

[hrontos]

Congratulations to the winners. Well deserved. It was pleasure to participate and we got many inspirational models that we can build without any big budget.

Than you also to you Jim for smooth organization and really quickly published results.

[allanp]

Congratulations to the winners and thank you to Jim and a crazy scotsman (but mainly Ted!) for running this contest. Discounting the specialized mountain bike I just about made the top ten. With how good the other entries were I'm very pleased with that .

[jantjeuh]

Congrats all! Well deserved winner, too.

Oh, and thanks to Ted for organizing it all.

[Captain America fan 1]

Congrats to all the winners and thanks to Jim for a great contest.

[Bonaparte]

Wow, some amazing MOCs are made by the winners

And great organization of this contest Jim. I've never seen so much details about the entries and voters like you shared here

[paul_delahaye]

Pleased with the winner, it was my top choice. I'm sorry but I did not even recall seeing the second place entry! lol,

So what is the reason for the Specialised Mountain Bike being discontinued? It looked amazing.

Edited August 9, 2014 by paul_delahaye

[barman]

Congrats to the winners.

Thanks to very one who entered for the wonderful and interesting models.

Thanks to Jim for his efforts of making this possible.

I hope the next competition is going to be as good as this one.

[Zerobricks]

I think we are all winners, its just that some models are more appealing

Congrats guys!

[super-jaschka]

Thanks to all who voted for my model !

And so many thanks to Jim for hosting a great contest ! :thumbup:

WOW, I have a medal ...

[Seasider]

Congrats to the top 3 even if i didn't vote for any of them. There were too many good entries. Glad i finished in the top half of the table. Looking forward to what Jim has in mind for us next

[Eraman]

Congrats to the top three, nice entries, good job But i think the others don't need to be sad, almost all entry was superb, many others would be in the top three! This competiton was high standard and first class, i'm glad to be part of it

And of course i'm waiting for the next contest!:)

Edited August 9, 2014 by Eraman

[Erik Leppen]

Wow, some really good entries ended up really low. There were some really good models that were actual Technic mini models (about 100 parts).

Anyhow, the top three are three really good models and indeed the winner is an awesome model. Congratulations to all winners! And congratulations to everyone who is pleased with their position :) It was an awesome competition, see you round the next one :)

[grum64]

Congratulations to the winner & runners up and well done to all those who submitted an entry.

Thank you one and all, you made this a brilliant contest.

[legomuppet9]

Congratulations to Doc, and all the other participants, all the entries were top notch

So what is the reason for the Specialised Mountain Bike being discontinued? It looked amazing.

It was originally designed a year ago, and the entries had to be new...
