I don't want to be a nazi, but if it were up to me and I'd taken the time to write the rules, I would've dis-counted all entries that ignored the rules

I think it's just testament to Andrei's good nature that he's allowing them, for the providence of the competition. Me, on the other hand - I'm one of those old school people that believe that rules are there for a reason.

I thought your second entry rules, but I still feel that Chris's speed model was the nicest. To reconcile; please accept my gift of accidental thanks :P

Best of luck everyone!

The word "Rule" was used in this post 6 times, just as an awesome way of making people remember that rules rules! (See what I did there?)

I dont think we broke the rules because we wanted to cause anarchy, we just misunderstood the rules on the pictures. I cant speak for everyone, but I know I make mistakes sometimes...rest assured it wont happen again, a simple "only post one image please" would suffice.

P.S. Thanks for all the votes, both intentional and accidental! Thanks again...

Please check yourself. You sound like you're taking me seriously. *Incredibly* worrying given the tone of my replying post...

Stuntman's 2nd entry would have won it for me. I really like the clock's hand-turning mechanism, however, the model is just a bit too dodgy for it to warrant my vote.

Sadly, the same deal with his second entry, heh.

Both Pacer's models turned out nice, with the second one being the stronger design. I think a few seconds could have been taken to bevel some edges, however, to get a little edge for the light to catch, would have made all the difference, imo. I also have no idea what the polycount is or... anything else about the model.

AthleteUK's was kinda cool, in a cartoon style and all, but I think more thought could have gone into it. Could probably be faster, too - there's not a lot there for 60 minutes work

Other notable entries for me were roosterjm2k2's two entries - the designs were outside the ordinary, which I like, but the modeling was needlessly wasteful in places, lots of divisions where there were none required.

So this week's winnar of winnars (to me at least) is uber2002. I'm digging the concept of this one and the model is also pretty solid.

Chris89, you'd have probably stolen that from him is your clock tower had a bit more clock in it XD

I like both of sgv3dmax's entries (voted for his 2nd entry) mainly because he didn't go too crazy with the poly count and yet managed to add lots of cool structural details.

Vamediah, Tiros, chris89, and Pacer...I like all of your models, too.

[sgv3dmax]

Thank you Latinmessiah, infact there were a lot of details i missed out due to time constraint. One which i wanted to add as an additional entry was the house-like clock tower with a bell in the roof. It really looked nice in the reference.

Chris89 is the winner for me, just stood out from all the others

Close second was Tiros's first model. Another great competition though. I'm always surprised at how many different ideas come out of these topics

Hmm yeah :P to be honest, i forgot about the clock until the very last 5 minutes.
