Modelling Mike Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I'd like to add my congratulations to the winner, Eldavo, and the other entrants and give my thanks for a very entertaining time I had looking through and marking the layouts. I feel the competition proved just how interesting, diverse and imaginative our little hobby can be. And it made me have a good, hard look at some other prototypes I wouldn't normally pay attention to and learned a thing or two. And not forgetting Andy's sterling work organising such a successful venture. Thanks for your hard work, as ever. Might I be so bold as to make a suggestion for next year though, and that's allowing votes out of 10 instead of 5? I often found myself giving the same mark to different layouts although I preferred one to the other. It would have been great to award one layout a 7/10 and another a 6/10 instead of awarding both a 3/5 (for example). It's only a suggestion though, and I don't want to take away from the success of this year's competition. As for 2011, I'd like to add my support to M Graff's idea of the Four Seasons. It would be great to see how different modellers tackle spring, summer, autumn and winter in their own unique ways. I may even be tempted to join in myself then! Best to all, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave.C Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I was thinking of doing something very simple for this year (as we can't expect everyone to keep churning out small to medium sized layouts. A 20" x 11" diorama? That gets my vote B) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toftwood Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Just add my congrats to those above, to eldavo for his fine layout, to the runners up, and also everone else who started a layout (including myself - Cutthroat Lane). This is a brill forum. Still having fun Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted January 5, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2011 I was thinking of doing something very simple for this year (as we can't expect everyone to keep churning out small to medium sized layouts. A 20" x 11" diorama? I like the idea of a diorama Andy, it would probably mean less withdrawals. The 2011 reference is also neat. I suppose there would have to be some rules on how the diorama is delimited. Ie how self-contained should it be, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon020 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 That's just perverse! I was thinking of doing something very simple for this year (as we can't expect everyone to keep churning out small to medium sized layouts. A 20" x 11" diorama? Ah, that's probably just the sort of thing that I'll need to display a nice P4 Twin Napiered Diesel on when it's finished... Sounds like something that could drive me to working on the landscaping skills nicely. A good idea Andy. Ideas of a deadline ? Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelW Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I like the idea of a 20x11 challenge - but surely there should be a 6 in there somewhere... How about the RMWeb 20x11x6 Birthday Challenge? A diorama that can fit within a 20"x11"x6" virtual box. How you get it to fit is up to you (so you could have 2 20x11 boards that can be boxed together with the scenery all within a 20"x11"x6" box, or a single 11"x6" board with 20" high scenery), giving you a bit more freedom in what you do... Do we get an extra month and a minute for the deadline? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rods_of_Revolution Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Well done eldavo, it was the layout I rated highest and clearly I wasn't in the minority! 20" x 11" sounds a good idea to me, I'm in favour! Regards, Jack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium eldavo Posted March 2, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) The postie delivered a little package today. It was from that awfully nice Mr. York. We have a trophy and a plaque! Not sure what scale they are to...Of course Andy has had the last laugh here as a glass trophy is bloomin' difficult to photograph. Very nice though. I suppose I better get back to working on this little trainset and get 'er done.CheersDave (pleased as punch) Edited September 7, 2017 by eldavo 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
