Voting ???

btw, the video is amazing, thanks for that, Scott. It's great to see a slide show of all models at one place.
 
Well said Bizarre! Overwhelming comes to mind!

Now I know how judges feels like at a model show......

Not going to be easy!

Construction. Finish. Accuracy. Subject/story. Then, against other entries. No matter what the kit. As in, you can't be biased against a Ford model if you are Chevy fan. You can't pick the P-51 just because it's a P-51. Etc. Put forth some scrutiny on the models themselves. The workmanship will bring out the top builds, then you pick the best of those in comparrison to each other.

I hear you !!! and I had to resort to the same Thinking.... and I've tried to apply that to some entires already !!! and found a few Nits to pick at... and that will help me make my choice or choices... right now I am doing Cars... cuz there are not that many....

The All-Open... Feew that's another ball game !!! Don't envy anyone trying to sort that Pile !!!

I need to take notes... I am awaiting the instructions and criterias from Scott's Team before I go too in depth in my selection.... but I have a few fav... already ! now... some I have seen come to life... others its the first time I see them.... and don't know much how involved they were...??? which complicates things...

I still think SCALE should have been a "Category splitter" as well.. 1/72nd and 1/48th against 1/35th scale models isn't all that Fair !!!

But I understand the limitations... we don't want this to become an IPMS style event... or we will never see the end of it !!!

Humm no ! that's not RLM 05 Yellow... no no no... but ! there is no but ! I am telling you its not the right Hue ! I was there... I know ! LOL
 
I take notes too. 8) Scale shouldn't be a consideration, only the 5 pics of the finished model. But yeah, sheesh there's a lot to go through. ;D The best compliment to a modeler in a contest is fair judging. I owe my fellow model building yahoos at least that much respect. 8)

Same as last year Norm, you pick 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each category.



skill level/scale/parts count/age of entrant/political view/country of origin/etc. notwithstanding ;D
 
Well Ive look at them all and I must say that the work is amazing you guys are great modelers. I have been there since the beginning of SMA, I dont write much but I can assure you that I do know what happens on here since Scott tells me all the time.

I might pick up modeling in the future but for now, I'll stick to voting.
 
I just know it's going to be a process of narrowing things down for me.
Two to three times through each category.
 
Is the voting closed, I saw the entries this morning at work and wanted to vote tonight but I got the message that the voting booth is closed?
 
Voting hasn't opened yet. Scott is giving members time to look everything over. Voting should begin sometime next week.
 
I'm picking 5 or so from each category that I think look extra awesome (they're all really good) then ranking them out of 40 using 4 different ranking criteria. Then taking off 2-3 from the lists then looking if I'm happy with the final 3, if not I just pick my favs. Soo much good work, so little places. It took me 4 hrs to do armour and air. :eek:
 
LOL...wrote all the names down on little pieces of paper and them threw them into the Goblet of Fire...waiting for the top ones to pop out during coffee! ::)

NO!!! 8)

It is hard! Watched the vid a couple times, went through the list at least a dozen times ;D Realized when I would wrote down the ones I like....pretty much everything ended up on the list!! :eek: Slowly narrowing that list down. ;D Such a tremendous effort by all who entered...Good Luck to All!!!! ;)
 
Just think how many will attend next year and how even more difficult it will be to vote. :-\ ???
Eani, meeni, miny, moe...... Dowh!! That aint going to work.
Ah! O.k. I got it, I got it!!!! accept bribes! ;D
Seriously, at least we have the top 3 in each catigory. Not that it's going to make it any easier. I think we need the top 10 in each catigory. yah, that's it.
