Winter Challenge Contest Results

[Jim Donovan]

The Judging Eves reviewed all entries based on the contest criteria including the complexity of the modelling, the detailing of the diorama, the finished look of the diorama and most importantly the detail explanation of the methods used, tips provided and explanations of why a certain way was used over other methods. I want to thank everyone that participated. Everyone that entered the contest (regardless if they finished or not) will be receiving a collection of unique 3D printed detail parts in the gauge they model in.

First place is Fiordland Lobster Company by Mark Dalrymple. Mark provided an amazing project that uses a wide variety of modeling techniques with great explanations, documentation and photos. The final result is a truly unique scene that showcases his talent.




Second Place goes to AMB Interlocking Tower made by Tom Langford. Tom's overall sense of 'how to' construct an attractive diorama, easy to follow explanations, critical changes and improvements to the original kit and meticulous attention to detail resulted in a winning presentation of what at first look looks like a simple building.

Third Place resulted in a tie so each will receive a gift card for 3rd place. The winners are GenFeed Mill made by Michael Holn and Building Time Forgot by Larry C. The feed Mill is a complex well made structure that Michael provided a wealth of building tips as he made it. The Building Time Forgot  appears simple at first look but the depth of detail, methods of weathering as well as construction tips gave readers a wealth of building knowledge to add to their skill set.






I want to thank everyone once again for participating and sharing your knowledge of this great hobby we enjoy. The wealth of information found in these building threads will help others to improve their skills for years to come.

The build threads have been both informative and inspiring.  I strongly believe the big value here is in these build threads, and I really appreciate the effort it takes to interrupt your modeling flow, take some pictures, then to stop and spend time putting the pictures and text together into a narration.
