Wow, I'm blown away with the quality of the entries!!  I needed at least 4 votes instead of 2!!  Still I had to make a decision in the end.

Well done to all you talented people.

Wow - what a tough decision. There isn't one entry that isn't outstanding. My hats off to all who participated and made it to the finals. Good - luck to all of you. (no I'm not telling who I voted for - thats just undemocratic  lol )

Superb final, not to mention the great entries that did not make it this far. Cheers to all for a fantastic contest.

Fabulous. Well done lads. What an astonishing display of craftsmanship and art.

Seems harsh that some entries have only got a handful of votes - surely not a reflection on the standard of these entries, all of which are top-quality: just the voting mechanism, and the sheer brilliance of the frontrunners.

I sincerely hope to have a game on that gunboat one fine day, AdmiralB  ;)

Yeah. That was tough.

But I think I have it, voted for two, cannot help but honorable mention the steamship and chitty-chitty bang bang though. Beautiful. Hard to choose.

Congrats to all of you, you all created beautiful models, and it was tough to choose.

Don.

It's a tough one this, Admiral Benbow & Zafarelli, it was a difficult choice Company B came a very clopse 3rd  :D :D

MY apologies to Aircav for my mistake.  I'm loath to edit it in case it resets the poll.

Thats ok you've done a fantastic job of organising the comp  :D

Thanks to everyone getting me this far  :D I'm pleased with how the K-Wagen turned out as its the 1st major scratch build that i've ever done, ive converted a lot of things before though but nothing like this.

Keith  :?

Geesh, and I thought voting in the earlier rounds was tough.....I'd be happy to do something half as good as any of these listed as finalists.

All of you have some pretty neat models!

Well the first 'Build Something' contest is over.  I would like to thank all those that took part either entering, partially building or voting on the entries.  In the end we had 22 submissions covering a wide range of subject matter, from boats to armoured vehicles to buildings to whole tables.  A considerable amout of effort has gone in to this contest from all concerned.

The WIP threads have made great reading.  I have picked up a variety of tips, tricks and ideas that will undoubtedly make there way into my own future projects.  I hope that those that were unable to finish their entries in time for the contest will go on to complete their projects for all of us to see.

The winner of the 'Transportation' contest is Admiral Benbow with his wonderful 'Gunboat Abu Klea'. Congratulations for a beautifully built and painted model, complimented by great photography and an interesting WIP thread.

In second place we have Aircav's K-wagen.  Another fantastic scratch-build and a WIP thread that was "rivetting" reading!

In third was Zafarelli's Dragonfly Light Attack VTOL. A cracking model that looks like it will be commercially available at some point.  Everyone is a winner here as we can all get our own copy.  An interesting WIP thread with lots of imput from LAF members along the way.

At the start of the contest Ramshackle Curtis kindly offeres a prize of a £10 credit for the contest.  In true LAF style it goes to a random entrant; Wayswatcher

I would like to also thank The Prof for helping get the contest up and running and Hammers for his assistance as co-moderator.

Its likely that this will be just the first Build Something contest with further contests on an irregular basis, similar to the LPL.

Paul.
