3.  Deadline for entries is November 30, 2000.  Judging begins on
December 1.

At least one person (maybe more) has built models which they haven't yet had
a chance to take photos of.  I think one person was waiting on the delivery
of their first digital camera and had something like 8 or 9 models built.

If there aren't any objections, I'd like to extend the contest's deadline
for entries from December 1 (today) to December 4 (next Monday).  That
would give one last weekend for any last-minute changes, photos, etc.

I picked December 1 out of a hat long ago without stopping to realize that
it was a Friday.

We should also make the deadline hour-fuzzy because of timezone differences.
So if you enter by Monday in your timezone, you're in the clear.  Then we can
start the voting on December 6 (Wednesday) and wrap it up by the 13th and
announce the winners on approximately the 15th.

Sound good?

Todd, I don't think it is within your rights to arbitrarily set a deadline, and then set an extension to that deadline. There are a lot of people living overseas whose votes won't come in on time and if the result is close...there will need to be (...) (23 years ago, 1-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)

To Todd Lehman: Thanks. This gives me time to post any alternates and mini-vehicles for my models. I just found out and posted the surface roller for my FX II.

I grew up on classic Space (1978-1986) and I still have a huge soft spot in my heart for old simple smileys and single-color astronaut uniforms. It's seeming more and more like the LEGO Space System product line (originally LEGOLAND Space, followed (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space, lugnet.announce) !!
