    Tell me about it. There are some inspiring builds here. Trouble is I think I have most of these in my build pile and it's not helping me decide which to start next. If I start them all I might get a strange crossbreed when I mix all the parts

    What was I doing?..

    I'm with Scotty Dog on this one.

    While Fat Boy's is the *most* artistic I've ever seen, I voted for bytesiz's daughter. If we can encourage a young mind to continue with rocketry, however we do it, that is a win for the community.

    I voted for the best model I thought given the subject matter and the craftsmanship. I thought of Scotty's idea, then felt I should simply cast the vote based on rocket and workmanship regardless of who built it. I must admit that the quality of the photos effected my decision - clarity and overall coverage being IMO important.

    Obviously I didn't vote for myself. Mine is not crazy or a show stopper by any means. I just happen to like it.

    I did, however, try to vote for someone else other than the obvious, in my mind, as one of these is truly in a class all its own. Collective reasoning got the best of me and cast my vote regardless as it's just not fair to single out a build because it's too good.

    Thank you to all who voted and who posted kind words about all of our entries. I admit that the results were somewhat astonishing and humbling! I would like to congratulate all who participated in this contest. I love them all - specially Rocketlady's Decim8 and Zetoyoc's Herc-5 as well as Bytesiz' daughter's Thingamajig!

    Hmmm, to build or save... Good question!
    A Flis Jouneyman = Build!
    But a single-digit Flis Jouneyman = Save!
