My thanks to the organisers, judges and fellow enthusiasts.

I had believed in my chances to secure atleast one out of 3 top spots but never dreamed of securing all 3 O_o (duh!)

Through the years along with our collections as we mature (ok, get older) i will bet the idea of creating or modifying your minifigs for something unique had flashed in the mind of every minifig lovers. MCN is the catalyst of such ideas, and at the forefront of bringing it to the main stream. We all owe it to MCN for a proper venue to explore this aspect as a hobby.

Thanks for the contest again, I look forward to exciting new works/products/technique/talent which continue to gather at this site.

Congratulations to all of our finalists and our winner Fry Slayer!

You all had us sweating out the judging, so many shield designs were superb, and some of you really surprised me with such fantastic designs.  We can all look at our finalists and be inspired by their creations.  Also, I would love to see some of you print out your designs and add to them to make a complete custom minifig.  This is just the beginning!

Amazing job Fry_Slayer, as soon as I saw your designs, I knew mine were out.

You can count on me continuing to make shields that go along with my entires. I'm starting a faction of the Gon-Dolan. A fantasy setting of an old kingdom in very low condition brought to its knees in the great wars against the orcs. Anyways, that's for another thread, I don't want to hi-jack this thread.

Out of curiosty could you explain your judging system? I'm curious what the highest you could get was, and what the categoryc"Implementation of design" meant. Great designs to every one! I'm amazed at the work you're doing. Also, are the finalists in any particular order?

New contest soon I hope!

Yes.



I'll also add to the choir -- congratulations Fry. I'll also single out some others; I was particularly fond of JediSpring's Sun shield design, and Zook's Egyptian-inspired "first shield." Very creative and well-designed. And that goes for everyone who entered - great stuff and I feel priviledged to have gotten to see it all, even if judging them all was quite a trial (it's hard to choose the 'best' among truly great submissions). Well done everyone.

Congratulations, everyone! Fry - our champion, our dear participants, MCN members and fellow judges!

This was a great contest - with lots of creative work, and for this, I thank you all. It was a great pleasure and excitement to see the designs as they were gradually subitted, exchanging opinions about them and finally vote for the winner.

Also, I think that we all need to thank someone else, our IT expert and the score calculator, the person who set up the entry submission system and the voting poll, but didn't even get the chance to vote for his favorite design! We wouldn't be able to do it without you, Ramus! :)
