Whoo! I never thought I’d win a something like this... There were plenty of awesome contenders, and it’s great to see that lots of folks got involved. (Hey, almost anyone can shell out $5 for a darn spiffy lego set.) It was a bit hard since orange isn’t a color that I’ve got lots of bricks of, but I managed to make it work. (for example, when I started I didn’t have any orange wheels... but I’ve got yellow ones. And Photoshop. Problem solved!)

By the way, I propably missed this, but why doesn’t the guy who places second get any prize? I figure this must be quite a bummer for him, seeing as the final grades are so close...

But at any rate, thanks for the awesome contest! (And the prize. Obviously.)

(P.S; great work on the site, too. it’s great to see where everyone ranks on the different requirements, and the judges’ comments are very insightful. Give ‘em a big hug from me.)
