The theme for round one is:
"START YOUR ENGINE"

Get those clever minds of yours in gear and have some fun! I want to thank you all for participating and can't wait to see what you all come up. Good luck!

Update March 6th JUDGING: Awesome work everyone! Great turn out and lots of cracking entries in that gallery. Should be some close match ups. I hope everyone had fun!

The judges have their score cards. I have no clue how long it will take each of them, but as soon as they give me their scores I will turn them around very quickly. I am out of town till Sunday March 10th. I doubt I'll get all the scores before then, so take the rest of the week off and get some sleep. Scores and results will be posted in a new thread as soon as they are available. Good luck!

For clarity's sake: Is "midnight on Monday March 4th" to be interpreted as "one minute after 11:59pm on Sunday March 3rd" or "one minute after 11:59pm on Monday March 4th?"

[Webmonkey]

Clarification,...

Given the theme,.. do vehicles count? or is it mini's only?

You have till midnight on Monday to post your entry. Anything Tuesday is DNF (updated OP to 11:59 pm PST Monday)

Clarification,...

Anything you want.

[Bexley]

Excellent. That's what I thought; but I figured I'd better be certain, since being wrong would have meant trying to submit an entry a day after the deadline.

[KatieG]

Idea all set. Miniature already in my possession. Second round here I come!

[Bexley]

Ooh, and I even have the miniatures I need. Having 35 cubic feet of unpainted miniatures has finally paid off!

[Webmonkey]

How many extra points do we get for buying the judges pizza and beer???

oh,.. and any ETA on when the gallery might be ready?

[Death Angel]

Holy cow! What a theme... OK. All set, just need to dig the models out of storage and attempt some sculpting...

What a hoot!

[Shukitty]

Am I crazy, or reading my calendar wrong? I have March 4th as a Sunday and March 5th as Monday.
