Global Scale Modeller

Ok the judges tallies are all in and the math done
This is no easy task and ALL builds were very good indeed

Judges inputs tallied up as follows:
1. bfrd...scout trooper face plant diorama
2. BobM...Bandai Millenium Falcon
3. DBMiller...Frankenstein and his Bride
4. Tommy K... Mondoshawan
5. Alexthe blue....Bandai XWing in Camo
6. Tay99.....Bandai B Wing Bomber

Congratulations to all the winners and to everyone who participated, finish or not.
It was very close all around.
We will have six prizes that I will post up soon.
The winners get to chose their prize from the prize pool in order of finish....ie bfrd goes first then Bob etc.
I am adding the fifth and six prizes from my own stash and sorry to not reward everyone.
This is a non sponsored sig, that means prizes and shipping are donated by very kindhearted individuals not any companies.
ie it comes out of our own pocket and gets real expensive, REAL fast

WILL GET PICS UP SOON OF THE SIX PRIZES IN THE POOL

Nice work all!

Wow!

Congrats to all the participants, finished or unfinished for a great SIG - awesome work all across the board


Tommy

Just trying to nail down all the prizes and get photos for all of them
Info coming soon

Congrats to all it was an awesome sig as always and I can’t wait to do it all again soon

Wow!

What great builds!

congrats to all you winners, a great effort by one and all.

Congrats to all, such high quality builds all round.

Is there a way we can pool together over the next 12 months to cover super prizes and postage

Super idea
Hard in practice...the old 80-20 rule

Congratulations to you all, some really fine builds

Wow... another surprising result out of some superb competition!

Congrats to all participants and winners!!

Well done guys, sorry I couldn’t get mine over the line, stupid thing called ‘life’ keeps getting in the way!

Probably for the best after seeing the standard of competition though

Yep some awesome builds in there with several new ideas too

Great work everyone!

Hang on - I didn't get the result I wanted so can we have the vote again (a la Scottish Referendum and Brexit)?

Seriously, I'm not into sci-fi but my arm was twisted to have a look at these builds and can honestly say that the standard of modelling is really up there. Congrats to all who made the deadline and, probably most of all, to those who gave it a go. You never know that when (and if) I reach this standard, you may (I said MAY) see me entering one day.

Keep up the good work everybody and I look forward to the next batch

Perhaps we do a donate to a fund and get Ultimate vouchers for 1st 2nd and 3rd???
Then there are no other costs
That might work, and then winners can choose their winnings

I got my prize yesterday. I was a bit shocked at the shipping cost and now feel a bit guilty about it! Shipping from Canada (and not just Canada but almost the farthest away you can get from Vermont in Canada) is expensive!
Next time just give out Gold, Silver, and Bronze stars for prizes.
I do however like my new tool holder from model builder and leather worker extraordinaire Twokidsnosleep (aka Scott)!

No worries
That shipping was the cheapest of the lot
CA glue those damn buttons closed if they pop open. I usually rivet them, but had to ship it flat

It would be cheaper if you just issued a voucher from a mail order store closest to the winner and the winner gets what they want on the proviso they post it and a short story regarding it.
