But doesn't the vote get multiplied by the number of flamingos?


Yes, but then it gets divided by its pink ratio.

Oh dear, I hadn't thought of that. That's not good for me, as I have some pink surfaces on the ornithopter. :? ;D

The battle for runner up is on!  lol

Even though it's (mostly) sci-fi I love the diversity of the entries.  It's a pleasure being in this with you all.

Hammers,

I love those Flamingos!  Were they commercial models or did you sculpt them yourself?  Did you post a write up on your entry (if so I missed it).

Cheers

Really great work there. I feel inspired to scratch build a flyer of some sort.

And the Flamingo thread is here....

All of us has Build threads on the 'Build Something Contest' board Operon. If you didn't vote in the last round, there's a LOT of amazing entries you missed, I would check out the threads when you get 5 minutes.

Well done - I think the Floatel was  a very worthy winner.

Congratulations to everyone who took part.

Congrats Andy, the Floatel is fantastic. Looking forward to seeing some more images!

I didn't! o_o I never thought a floating hotel would have been voted for as much as it did!:o But thank you very much for everyone that voted for me and congratulations to Hammers and Dr Mathias as runners up! I don't think the voting reflects just how good all the other entries actually are! :o

Thanks to Hammers and Jimbibbly for running this! It's been fun and it's got me to build something, I probably wouldn't have finished/made otherwise!
