Nathan and Nelson thanks for running such a fun contest and raising the profile
on not only Joe, but vigs themselves! Looking forward to the next one.
Now lets hope Joe makes a great showing at BrickFest as well.

I concur, it was the prod I needed to start vignettes and I had a brilliant
time, building and seeing the other entries. Hopefully the vignette ideas
currently upstairs can one day see the light of day.

I just wanted to add my thanks to the organizers for running the competition.
All the entries were great and I feel honoured to have been awarded first place.
Now Im looking forward to building some more Joe Vig vignettes (so Joe had
better watch out!!)

Like everyone else before me, I wanted to thank you guys for running the great
contest and I want to sincerely congratulate everyone who entered! I had a
blast doing my vignette and I'll make sure to participate if another contest
comes along!
Woot! I'm in the honorable mentions! :-D

My congratulations to the winners, and to the organizers. This has been the
most fun competition I haven't entered, ever!
Finally a competition where the models are small enough that I can copy
them, but still interesting enough that I want to copy them (if you see what
I mean).
I have even built one Joe Vig of my own now (no photos), and am looking
forward to the next competition (whenever that'll be).
Thanks!

Hoping to see another of these contests again soon!

I wasnt going to post any comments on the contest entries, but there were so
many good ones that I felt that it would be wrong for me NOT to do so, or at
least the winning ones - so here goes:
|
1st place
| |
| | Ahoy There!! by Greg Nation
|
|
The dual-hulled construction technique on the ship is fantastic - thanks for
posting the instructions, Greg! Joe Vig is not only oblivious to the line of rats fleeing
from the ship (behind him), but also to the lighted fuse below deck. A very
original vignette!!
|
2nd place
| |
| | Joe and Jonesy by Tony Hafner
|
|
Any fan of the Alien films will notice that the camera angles for the shots are
spot on from the film. The alien is great for its small scale, as are the
chains, etc. (Note: We did not realize that we would get so many entries based
on movies.)
|
3rd place
| |
| | Joe Runner by Janey GunningCook
|
|
A great take on the old WB cartoons, and with such colors! I was reading the
thread regarding the anvil and the string - I think the string makes perfect
sense: Once Joe Vig leaves, Wile E. steps under the anvil to see why his trap
failed. The string breaks and it falls on his head - brilliant! If anything is
to be questioned on this vig, it would be 1) why are plants growing on the road,
and 2) why does Joe Vig stop for flowers? (Personally, I would have used a money
1x2 tile or a coin instead!) :)
|
4th place
| |
| | Avalanche by Bruce Hietbrink
|
|
The height on this vig is great, and Joe Vig is once again so oblivious. Bruce
really captured that snapshot in time for this vignette.
|
Honorable Mentions go to the following entries: (in no particular order)
|
|
A Close Encounter with Fate by Brendan Mauro
|
The Fate machine is incredibly detailed, and I hope that we see it again before
it is dismantled.
|
A Grave Situation by Tony Hafner
|
Simple, and to the point.
|
Special Friend by Terry Prosper
|
Terry has given a new meaning to the word oblivious!!! :)
|
Jedi Temple by Ryan Wood
|
Ryan has taken vignettes to all new dimensions!
|
The Birds by Anita Eenink
|
A very good movie MOC. Even if you never heard of the film, you could still view
this vig with Joe Vig being oblivious to the flock above, about to make him
their....well,... target! :)
And there were also some very nice vigs from:
Chris Doyle
Michael Jasper
Brian Pilati
There were quite a few replies hoping that the next Joe Vig contest will occur
soon. We were not planning one until maybe next year. However, since the judges
are supplying the prizes, perhaps if some of our Joe Vig fans would be willing
to provide prizes/postage and also to serve as a contest judge, we COULD sponsor
the next contest sooner - please email the
Curators if you are
interested!!!
Once again, thanks to all who entered! Thats all folks!!
