Well, here is my entry, a good old Ferris Wheel.
I started with a cylinder then started insetting/extruding to make the shape. Made good use of the bridge function (Rocks!!). Legs are just cylinders, which I copied across to the other side. The bulbs were a spline and lathe modifier.
Max standard dynamic springs around the legs. The cabins are just edited boxes.

As usual I have recorded the modeling session, so if you want to have a look, then enjoy it.

Good Luck!!

Thanks, is that how to do it in Max? Cause in Blender I found "Text" in what I like to call the "spawn menu" and you can select fonts there and whatnot and then convert it to a mesh.

Btw that Ferris Wheel is hot! Great job!

Whoops!! Yes it's for Max. I forget not everyone uses Max, sorry. Oh and thanks for the comment!

wow many many good entries. here is what I worked out in 88 minutes. "Miami rock":

all handmade (modified boxes/cylinder) except the guitar and text is a spline

tricount is 17k (I wasnt looking at it)

Another cool entry . You guys are making an awesome job with those models.

hmmm... I wonder whether I can make something from the Carnival of the Damned xD
But I've never modeled a head, let alone a giant monkey head before, and I doubt I can do it in 90 minutes

but everyone in this thread did a great job until now! Looking forward to how this will develop And who will win. I think the choice will be especially tough this time.

Hmm... doesn't work for me either. I though I downloaded it but it's a 0kb file :|
