Kenton Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I wouldn't use a '1' to describe something as bad - just to give me a wider range of votes. To me there are some that really stand out or have just been entertaining and interesting to follow these will get higher scores but a '1' most certainly is no reflection on their entry. After all I didn't even enter, so tha is multiple '0's for me then. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Trevellan Posted November 3, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 3, 2011 Kenton makes a fair point. For several years now I have been a judge for one of the major national transport awards and the variation in marking by individual judges on each panel can be quite pronounced at times. However, this occurs consistently and therefore evens itself out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) Can I just say that the challenge has been well and truly answered. I'm amazed at the quality of the entries, the incredible range of ideas and the execution of them. There is some superb modelling and every entrant deserves to win - such a shame that it can't happen - however you all deserve a round of applause :clapping_mini: Edited November 4, 2011 by shortliner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivercider Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 My votes are in, and I'm also impressed. I decided to view them all first before deciding on marks, and each entry had something of merit. In order to give myself room to vote up (or down) as I went along I started with a notional score of 3 in each category. I then adjusted scores up or down by 1 accordingly, reserving a score of 5 for a real WOW! factor. As a result I scored about five 2s, a number of 3s, a lot of 4s and half a dozen 5s amongst the stand out entries. cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed a/c Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I have cast my votes. My only issue was the photos used in the poll for each entry. Some of them were not the best and I found I didn't have time to read every single thread and view all on the posts. This may not have worked to the builders advantage.

Andy Y Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 I tried to pick the image that best represented the entry and/or fitted the amount of space; I could have enlarged the images but it would have made the page even more intimidating. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinWalsh Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) it would have made the page even more intimidating. Trying not to give 5's across the board for all the entries was intimidating enough, hopefully I was totally objective and fair to everyone (even down to giving myself a mediocre score on one question) , good luck to whoever wins Edited November 3, 2011 by KevinWalsh 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon020 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) Let me know which the other was and I'll see if I can edit that; my apologies - I thought I'd set them all. It was a PITA to set up, taking about 5 hours to construct a one page survey! BTW - The dates on the shots for Wirral Transport Museum are due to a default date on the camera after a battery change. Andy, sorry, I missed your request here - I can't recall which one it was, but possibly the 4th entry as I think I had to go back and re-assess approximately three entries first time. Hope that helps. Edited November 4, 2011 by Jon020 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium eldavo Posted November 4, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 4, 2011 My word that was hard work (in a good way). What a range of entries! Far too many winners in there. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oldlugger Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Is there just one page of entries? I submitted my votes for this page and no more came up - just a thank you message; I'm sure there were more entries than this? Cheers Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Yes, all on one page. Those were the confirmed entries from the Summary Topics page that people submitted for the vote (less one which unfortunately fell outside the rules). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 96701 Posted November 6, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 6, 2011 I've just voted and read the message page that included 'The results will be announced after the end of the voting on 03 December 2010.' Was that the last page you built after your 5 hour page building exercise, Andy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted November 9, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 9, 2011 Andy, I'm wondering how many votes you've had so far - would it prejudice the results at all if you told us ? Cheers Stu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 No problem with that Stu; the answer is 205 completed forms. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
10800 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 To avoid any glitches (probably aren't any now!) and make my voting as consistent as possible, I'll probably look through all the entries and make voting notes on paper - you remember paper don't you? - before coming back and filling in the votes in one hit. Very well done to all in any event. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold ChrisS Posted November 16, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2011 Believe it or not, I have not yet voted, although I do intend to do so in the near future, but with numerous fantastic entries it will be difficult. However, I have one query. The third picture in the 'Magic black box' thread seems to indicate that the entry is taller than 11'' (roughly based on the measurements on the side), as there is an additional box mounted on top of the diorama. There is no explanation in the accompanying summary as to what this is, or if it is an integral part of the diorama. As the thread is locked and it is an 'off forum entry', is there a way of finding out further information? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Aah; it's a removable light so it can be displayed with or without. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that Andy - 205 votes (less the 31 entrants) = 176. What's the latest figure, please ? Edited November 17, 2011 by Stubby47 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I voted last week, and what an enjoyably challenging job it was too. Thanks to Andy for organising, and the entrants for entering, there were some fantastic dioramas in there. Will Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted November 29, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 29, 2011 That seems very low considering the work on show, mind you being a numpty it took me two attempts to vote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted November 29, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2011 296 people have voted so far, 102 people were apathetic enough to look at the page and not register a vote. Well I did look at it the first time to see how it worked then came back a second time to vote so unless you're monitoring us by name that would make it 101 (perhaps?).
