OK... another hard one... Let's begin
Tiros, good first entry, failed second attempt but great 3rd entry Nothing to crit on that one... one of the finalist so far.
myles great idea, great style and impressive model even if it's a lot of cloned geometry.
Vamediah good entry this time as well but somehow it feels unfinished... I hope it's not because I saw your model in the Finished Gallery
Stuntman great model, too bad you didn't have time to make a more complex "head" Your second one though is one I would vote for. Really great idea and good modeling.
zalkore you have 4 entries... this is the record for a SMC so far Well done! And I can really notice an improvement with every new one... My favorite would be the 3rd one.
Murloc, solid model. The structure feels a little simple, some more detail would have made it better.
uber2002... don't know which one to chose from your models I like the idea on the first one, looks like a fun siege weapon but I also like how huge the second one is. That is so much more then a siege weapon, looks like something that would get the job done, whatever that may be
Danked, great modeling for so little time you had with this. Don't have any crits.
Fallen the idea is cool but the modeling let's it down It could have used the time you had a lot better.
Pacer both your models are great. The geometry is really complex and the ideas are a lot of fun, especially the second one. I'd consider this one of the best.
Hawkins you have a very good model there but it doesn't really stand out from all the other entries. Good modeling and use of tris/time.
veNoM sNaKe looks like I was in a hurry... you used 90min for you entry... Oh well... I'll figure this out. Great model though
OMG this won't end
sgv3dmax good model. It has some pretty detailed parts but also some areas that could have used a little more attention. Overall it's a very good entry.
Dr.Ido very good entry as well. And arrow would have made this complete, and also a little better use of polis would have given this a plus
latinmessiah good model, unfinished though. What you managed to make in the time you had looks good.
fabiodan looks like you could have used a little more time. You managed to block in most of the parts of the siege weapon. With more practice you'll get to the detailing stage as well. Keep it up.

Hope I didn't miss someone And that was a easy part... now who to vote for?
Hmm... Sorry guys but I have to go with Stuntman 2nd entry. All the other entries are a close 2nd though

Hard to chose from Tiros 3rd entry, Stuntman and venom? And also other but for me these where the ones I prefer.

I just loved the construction of Stuntman his weapon.

[TinchoPF]

Really hard choice, but my winner is Tiros' 3rd try.

ps: A shame Tiros is Alliance, my life for the Horde

[Vamediah]

andrei: yes its true, the entry here is very unfinished, but whats important is that it made me want to make it look just awesome, so i kept working and as you said, the finished work can be seen in the "finished pieces" forum. and im very happy with how it came out

the turnout for this one is crazy... ok my vote goes to zenith.. i mean Tiros third entry. alot because its very clear how the quality increased by every one entry, the third is the best of all these i think. it seems to work and thats what i like seeing, not crazy "if this is lauched it will break itself" contraptions. so Tiros, you have my vote

[Danked]

I just love the turnout on this one, A lot of really sweet models

[benclark]

My winner is Pacer's 2nd Entry...

It just has a really nice warhammer style it, and even the angle of the render adds to the style. With the angled wheels and the ricketty planks it reminds me of the old orc gut-ripper style warhammer vehicles. To inject this much character into a model in 60 minutes is really impressive

other honourable mentions.....

Myles - really nice piece but your clay render lets it down looks like a really solid model but the presentation is quite blurry

Vamediah - I like the complexity of the construction and I love those renders, maybe just a little bit too generic to win

Stuntman - great Idea and a nice chunky style but I would have loved to have seen some of the planks smashed away to reveal even a little peak at the inside

Murloc - This one stood out for me too, it carries the bulk you would expect for a siege weapon and I like those wheels. Simple but very nicely executed

sgv3dmax - I like the body and the design of this one but the arm itself confused me a little. It looks realy thin

zalkore 4th entry - The spikey balls are a great idea and really catch the eye, but I dont see how this would work with the body sitting right on the tracks

Great work guys

[latinmessiah]

Wow! It's nice to see how creative some people got with this topic, since most of the reference was rather bland. The two entries that stood out for me happened to be modeled by Pacer, so that made it easier for me to vote.

[aegix]

Pacer's second entry for me. Lots of shape for the amount of polys used and it looks awesome

[Tiros]

Oh no, not one of those rotten or greenie ones are ya? *slaps*

Well, orc's ae defintly cooler than humans... but.. as humans looks good as roues.. plus that I've eritten a 12-sided rp background-story for Tiros, which is't even done yet (Being an rp'er and all). I'm afraid I had to stick with Sir. Tiros Madison there

/offopic off

Well then.. it seems these competitions have bcome quite popular. And they're funny as hell, no doubt about it

However... peole also started submitting more entries and stuff... I mean.. this just makes it impossible to choose a winner

I'll give it a thought.. Hope I'l be able to decide.. oh my.. The clock tower vote.. That one's gonna take me ages to decide

Yet.. removing the multiple entry submission thingy would be a shame though. I thik that it till should be there

People will simply have to make sure they don't post too many submissions in case they don't feel that they're really needed

PS: Andrei... why did you put in my 12% finished ballista in there?
