Picture sent.

I'm well chuffed with my entry, but the pictures are horrible and really don't do it justice. At all... 

[Burgundavia]

And received. Such is too often the way with pictures, sadly.

(Hopefully) my entry has been sent.
As I've said many times before, 'I don't do Elec-trickery very well'

[McMordain]

I sent in my pics a moment ago.

As more out there?

7 is an odd number to set up the heats.

I suggest one group of 3 and one group of 4 in the first round with the top two from each heat going through to the next round.

Then you could either have A) a final with 4 entrants, or B) two groups of two to make a semi final and 2 in the final.

[has.been]

You could do one group of 7, top three go through to the final.
failing that I would like Mick's suggestion.

Either way I get into the Semi-Final! 

[McMordain]

I fine with any kind of grouping. Choosing will be hard anyway 

[Burgundavia]

Ya, 7 does not go easily into 2 to create a final. How about this:

Group 1: 4 entries, top 2 advance
Group 2: 3 entries, top 2 advance

Semi-final 1: winner of Group 1, 2nd place Group 2
Semi final 2: winner of Group 2, 2nd place Group 1

And then through usual final with the two winners

[Tarnegol]

I'm quite content with whatever you decide. I'm perfectly happy with 7th place, so fourth in my group is a bonus!

[Burgundavia]

Could also do a group of 7, top 4 advance, where 1st and 3rd face each other and then 2nd and 4th.

Note , I haven't looked at how the randomization would place people including myself yet, very deliberately so as not to bias this conversation

[Mick_in_Switzerland]

I like that idea too

[Burgundavia]

I have prepped all the photos, figured out the order people will be sorted in. Voting starts tomorrow morning my time (afternoon Europe time)!

[has.been]

Looking forward to it, & I know I'll be in the top seven! 

[Mick_in_Switzerland]

I would like to post some more detailed pictures of my build.

Can I do that now or should I wait until voting has finished on 29th May?
