    Thanks Keith for putting 10 & 11 back in the list in a form that I can actually see. I have now voted with all the facts and information that I needed.
    And a very difficult decision it was as all entries were on the North side of very good with a few up there with the Aurora Borealis. Well done to all entrants; I would love to have voted for more!

    Never accused him of taking bribes. I know my honorable Wingman well is above that! If I did send one I'd hope he vote for someone else.

    All were good entries. But, I thought 2 stood out above all the others and 1 was really good.
    Good luck to all the entrants and a job well done.

    I'll not type all the really bad words I had intended to type. Scrub my entry. It was never posted in a public or private album. It was always in a profile album, hence my asking Keith to check everything was ok when I first submitted it. I was told it was. Now I have been castigated by some of the members I withdraw my entry.

    And to make sure it is my entry is number 10.

    I feel your pain, old friend, since my entry is 11 and although my English command is obviously not as good as yours, I understood the rules properly and posted my pics in PROFILE album right from the start checking it twice. Then the lynch came. No matter. I am happy with my work no matter the result. And Ju got my vote.

    Not permitted I'm afraid. Your entry is far too good to delete it, and the rules make no provision for withdrawal of entry after voting has started. Sorry. And I feel you weren't castigated, but circumscribed

    Please put these difficulties, with pics not being available for whatever reason, under the "these things happen with complex systems" department. Deciding cause is only useful as part of the "how do we fix it" protocol. We're dealing with software that, while pretty good, is by no means bug-free, especially when it comes to graphics. We lost an awful lot of pictures in a hack attack a few years ago, pictures that in theory should have been recoverable.

    Just because you - or I - make an album, set it to type "profile", doesn't mean it actually will register as that, 100% of the time. I think it will, and it usually does, but I can't guarantee it. After having been bitten by this, I now always check.

    Summary: may I please request you reconsider? I'm sure the Oberst will change the rules to allow you to withdraw if you desire to exit, but I personally request that you don't. Both for you as a person, a member of the site, and an artist when it comes to crafting 1/200 aircraft, but also for the aircraft itself.

    I agree with Zoe. Your work is too good to withdraw. A software glitch is just that. At work I am frustrated weekly with them but have to live with it...or change my job!

    I don't think you were castigated, more likely some ribbing from colleagues. Please stay in the contest.

    Beautiful job Neil...It has to stay.
    What no one seems to have grasped was that the answer all along should have been "have you tried turning it off and on again"?
    Mind you I have failed dreadfully every time I have tried to upload a file.
    I will stick to more journalistic endeavours and leave the artists to do what they do so well.

    Curious just how many voted before we could see all of them? My vote was late so it reflects them all. . . . : ) finally good to be slow! I have had limited luck with uploading to the site, that is why all my photos have been from Photobucket for 4 years now.

    Andy and Neil,

    I'm very sorry that there was an issue with your images displaying incorrectly. I'm not sure what caused your albums to show as Profile to you but Private to everyone else. If either of you turely have grievances about this, please PM me and we'll sort it out as friends.

  18. #68

    Default

    Okay, really? With all the hard work done with each entry no one should drop out. I know my first pass through I still had 6 entries and then to try to narrow it to 3 more was painful. It was painful because as a painter myself I know how much time you put into a miniature and wish everone who entered the best of luck....all 13 of ya.

    Excellent work everyone!!!!!!

    Whoa! Where did that one come from? No-one was castigating you Neil (or Andy). A little light-hearted ribbing at worst (evidenced by smiley/wink-wink emoticons).

    In fact rather than wanting to nobble 2 of the entries, at the same time Keith was fixing the problem yesterday I had copied the 10 & 11 pics to an album and then re-posted them here in the hope everyone could see them. I see the post disappeared soon after, and I am assuming it got deleted by Keith have got things sorted.

    I saw ALL the entries right from the get-go, so the probs that were affecting some people didn't affect my vote.

    neil i do hope you dont remove your wonderful entry. i dont think anyone intended any serious rebuke. i think it was all in jest. perhaps they imbibed a bit too many spirits and it got the better of them and they let slip an unbidden tongue. surely they will pay enough of a penalty when dawns early light shows itself. please reconsider it

    Everything is sorted in a usual manner . It is just a friendly contest and let's treat it as is.
    The goal of a friendly contest is to win, but it is the goal that is important, not the winning.

    I'm glad to say I waited for all entries to appear on the post before I voted. I don't think I could, in good conscience, have voted if I had not seen all entries.
    And to Hedeby; turning off and turning on again was the FIRST thing I tried but that didn't work either.
    Once again my compliments to all the entrants.

    Does this sort of thing happen every year in this contest? I'm saddened by the direction things appear to have gone in ... Hope that all entrants who put in the time and hard work to produce all 13 entries this year stay in the competition.

    By all means it could just be me but the memories of how a brand new event I was organising just descended into chaos are still close to home round here.

    Andy - Well Said Sir about your last comment. But all this is still making me think twice about trying to organise another event or enter a future competition

    When I voted for my three choices, I was able to see all of the entries - the initial posting that was disrupted (which Keith identified and asked us to bear with) didn't last too long, and when I went to the thread to look at entries, all of them were visible.

    It's a shame there was some misunderstanding with which 'file' to put them in - I probably would have done this incorrectly if I had finished my entry in time

    ANYWAY, I'm glad things got sorted out and all entrants are back in the fold - once again, I'm in awe of the lovely modelling skills on display in this contest. So many wonderful planes to consider...

    All the best,
    Matt

    I've seen carefully all the 13 entries before I voted. I immediately dismissed one of them (the poor creature doesn't really know what he's doing), but he took it gracefully.

    I have both. I sometimes over-compensate. I do know my work in this comp is not as good as many others, but I also think it's not the least best, and they're all good to superb. However, I'm not the best judge of that - others are. Even if I get 0 votes - a distinct possibility due to the subject - the model looks good in practice.

    The important things are 1) To Have Fun and then 2) To improve. That last only comes from practice and observing what others have done, and trying to emulate it or even improve on it.

    A big Congrats to Guntruck for taking 1st place with his Heinkel He177 A-5 entry and to Mad Charly for coming in 2nd place with a very nice FW 190 A8/Ju 88 G combo! For Third place we have a tie! Clipper1801's PB4Y-2 "Tortilla Flat" Baldy and black joe's PIAGGIO P 108 were just to close for everyone to decide upon!

    Great job everyone that entered and a personal thank you to each of you for making this contest a success!
