Ben,
Something to consider too, 60% of the decision is based on creativity/originality,
only 40% on the engineering. That makes me think they are going to lean towards
orginal designs, not models of existing Starwars ships. I'm going to submit my big
Tie Interceptor, but I'm also planning on submitting a completely original model.
BTW, I really like your MF, I plan to build one eventually for my Master Grade Lego
Model website, but mine won't be minifig scale, it will be larger, mostly technic
type engineering. (It will probably be black too since I don't have enough of
another color to make such a huge ship).
