Also, the current No. 1 Senior model is not displaying correctly for me. I
can’t see what it is. Anyone else having this problem?
|
It looks funny for me,too. A few of the models seem to have this problem. I
haven’t loaded any of them into LDD to see what they look like, so I don’t
know if it’s a problem with the model, the website or what.
|
Can’t see it too. Tried 2 different browsers. I’m quite surprised how it
can get any votes at all. The jpg downloaded from the site is plain
wrong, so I doubt anyone can get better (I’ve tried to reload the
picture multiple times).
|
This is just silly. Obviously something has gone very wrong with the vote
tallying (or worse, someone has already figured out how to cheat!).
| |
What do you mean by ‘I haven’t loaded them into LDD’? I don’t think you
can download the models, at least I haven’t found an option of doing so.
|
I wish they did let you download them. I guess they’re afraid of people copying
other peoples designs and techniques. The problem is that the relatively small
rendered image they give you is inadequate for letting you make a well informed
vote. They tell you:
Design - Does the model look nice or is it messy? Does the color, structure, details and overall looks fit together well?
Ingenuity - Does the model feature fun, surprising and cool use of elements?
Stability - Does the model look like it would hold together in the real world, or would it fall apart?
I think it’s very hard to judge any of these things with the pictures they give
you. At least you need a hi-res picture, but better would be to let you
download it and rotate it, zoom, etc, in LDD.

And the last thing about the competition. I thought the rule was to fit
into 16x16 studs, but model #2 in senior section clearly violates that.
I think I’d need some clarification.
|
In my opinion, the “Container Ship and Dock” should be accepted as complying
with the 16x16 studs rule. While the ship part does overhang, I think it’s okay
because it’s a vehicle and doesn’t need to be fixed to the rest of the model.
My guess is that the reason for the 16 x 16 rule is so that a bunch of these
models could be placed together to create the Micro City. In such a situation,
assuming the model was lined up with other “waterside” models, you’d have no
problem with the ship overhanging. Just my opinion, we’ll see what the judges
say.
