Have we decided about voting? Will it be by popular vote, a panel of judges, or what? Just thought I'd bring this up so we can prepare. I think the popular vote has been pretty popular with the masses in the past but if we go that way we will need a way to tally the votes. Maybe we could have another volunteer (other than Paul and myself) to handle that chore.
Ideas?
Go ahead....talk amongst yourselves.... discuss, discuss....

This was one of the subjects that I discussed with Tim. We both feel that voting on the winner is the way to go. I think the voting should be open to showrod members, maybe to guests. Any thoughts?

I'd say registered guests. I'm guessing most of the lurkers have already signed up... or they should to vote. The So Many Posts thing is unfair cause some of us work and can't mouse potato as much as we'd like....  Are we going to email (or PM???) votes in like last time? Can't be too hard to count them up.... we only have 27 entries... and I'm gonna win. hahahahahaha! |

If all the non builders vote for the main contest. . . .. Maybe there could be a "builders best award". . where only the builders vote for their favorite build of the contest . . . and that could be an award like the "DAV's FAV" award of past contests.
Just a thought.
There are good and bad with all the voting.
If you have a panel of judges. . . it is good. . . less politics. But you don't see who liked what? ? ? And they vote to their taste, desire and understanding on models. . . but with no direct rules to follow. . .there isn't a criteria to follow for judging. (if the builder stayed with in the guide lines and followed the spirit of the contest)
When everyone votes . . . each builder can see the number of votes each build got. That is nice, too.
Either way is good for me. . . .The contest is for the shock value of the build. . and try to put together something no one has ever seen. . . . and if someone "gets it" even better. . . but not needed.

I think the voting thing we've done in the past has worked well with little or no problems. Members/Guests vote for they're Top 5 Favorites (or whatever number you guys elect). I think Dan Warford deserves to pick a favorite since he's doing all the hard work on the decals. Same with Paul since he's building the website. Or Dave R. pick a top showrod of his choice. Whoever you guys think. I do think it would be nice if we could make like (5) homemade trophies of some kind to award. I'll be glad to throw something silly together of assorted resin stuff! What do you guys think?

So uh.... who is doing the website? Where do we send our submissions, and are we gonna be able to see all of them when they are done..... I know, maybe we need somebody to make a website to house a gallery of all the entries....
I forgot about the top five... I like that. Maybe a top three?
Who wants to build a website?

I think we all get the message that PAUL IS DOING THE WEBSITE, but he ain't counting votes. Seems clear to me. I'm sittin' out this contest, but I look forward to seeing what you all come up with. ;D

I already posted over in the poll thread in the projects section. If you wanna check that out for the whole response.
I'll count the votes. We have time to discuss the best method of doing this. We'll come to a decision (probably) before the build deadline.

Maybe we should keep the names of the builders secret till after the voting!!!! that way only the models are judged . Just a thought.

I like Ramones Idea too.
Not knowing who built the kits will make judging based more on the build itself, rather than giving any preconceptions for who built it.
I'll bite.

Just curious if anybody has received their decals yet? (sorry not getting pushy Dan, I know you are busy). Will we be receiving them anytime up to April 1st or will they start sending them out after April 1st. (I checked the "stickie thread" but couldn't see anything clarifying this) I see some are already building but I'm holding off, to build partially around the theme of the decals.  Again, thanks to all who have contributed to the contest |

I have been hard at work on the decal art. -rubs dry eyes- No one has yet gotten their decals. Sorry, but I said MY deadline was April 1st. That means that I hope to have all decals mailed by then. I hope to.
I have been focusing primarily on the builders outside America, allowing for the longer shipping times, on those builders entering more than once and those few builders who have looming schedule conflicts.
I hope to begin shipping next week. I thank you all for your patience. This is a lot of work, and I hope everyone's happy with the results.
