I think it depends somewhat on the general nature of the model. A technic
model (for example) would need to be functional and structurally strong, but
color wouldn't matter as much. And a "model" (like the statue of liberty,
etc) would need a lot of detail, good form, and good color scheme, and not
need much functionality/playability. And of course minifig constructions
should be a nice balance of both.
In general though, I rate detail & color scheme very highly. Form takes a
close 2nd (3rd?) behind them, and functionality is generally last.
So I guess if I had to write a general formula, it'd be along the lines of:
4.0a + 2.5b + 3.5c
(each category is scored 0-10, and the overall model is 0-100)
With the obvious exceptions. I.E. if you have some ridiculously cool
functionality, it can skyrocket the model's overall coolness beyond the
"25%" above.
