Hi guys! Third place!
Thanks to all for you votes
It's been a real pleasure to partecipate! It was a pity that I couldn't demonstrate how my blaster works,
because it shoots a green laser, has red glowing valves, the mechanism is turning and the manometer is functional
I've done more work for the guts than for the outside
I'll post detailed pictures and videos in a dedicated thread.
Thanks again to everyone and congratulations to the winners!!!

hi all,thank's to all of you,im very happy to have won....but i feel that i shoudn't have won,2nd place entry is wail cool ( got my vote ) and i feel should be the winner,entry 2 ,so much work must have gone into sculpting the bone shape (also got my vote)
and my last vote was for the water baster with the clock bits in (sorry sorry cant rember your name)which i though was totaly cool and a lot of hard work had gone into it.
as im in the uk,the vouchers mean little,pm me and will sort out what prize's each of us want . ps.im starting my boba fett helmet thanks to sith lord with he fantastic fett build,love to you all

hmmm, maybe i should leave more time for work on my blaster for Next year
i think i got it done in a month

congrats all that won! it might mot be that easy next year, Look out

Cheers,

dartharnold, PM sent

Well, there's some mixed news (or rather, lack of news)--I was getting ready to send an email to Kapowwe to update them on the contest, and then I remembered they're in a suburb of Houston! I'll let everyone know if they're OK once I know anything.

Oh Gosh, best wishes for Kapowwe! Here is to hoping everything is just fine.

I think the voting went well, and Darth your blaster was awesome, DO NOT sell yourself short.

There were so many cool entries this year and some very interesting ones to be sure. I really enjoy being a part of, and always look forward to entering, this contest.



Now it's time for all of us to discuss builds. Techniques, materials, etc.

Which is always just as much fun as the contest itself for me.

Hurrah ! Thanks for voting my entry at the second place !
I am very very proud that you guys still like my style of blasters
Another one for my personal BBC Hall of Fame

BIG congrats to the winner who did an awesome and excellent blaster - I really like the perfect "transmissions" of the used components.

And of course to all other great entries

Funny that each year seems to have a motto - now I am anxious on the 2009 contest

I`ll be more than happy to spend my price for a good thing as I did with my last 3 prices.

Ahoi,
Stephan

Hope Kapowees OK that must suck!

Techniques huh? mine is "Cut off, Break off, Drill, Screw, Glue and pray to god it stays whole through the process!" thats serious too

Materials? Whatever i had laying around

Cheers,
-John-

Congrats to everyone that won!

I got it at Academy sporting goods although I think I saw a few at Bass-Pro last time I was in one. I was a bit disappointed with the distance it shoots though. Its one of those little rubber pellet guns. I was originally going to do something else with it but I thought of the drum idea and just ran with it do to time restraints. I would like to repaint it later but for now I think its just going to sit around.

I did mine in four days so you lose the rushed argument. I didn't have much a chance to do any thing this summer other then my job. I barely got that gun painted, if I remember I did it one night while eating dinner. Pasta if you would believe it.

Any idea when we will get notified about prizes?
