Considering the overall quality level of the ISCC entries (which was
stunning, just stunning, don't you agree?) I don't consider my placement as
a "flop", by any means. That entire entry was thrown together in 2.5 days of
furious building just before the deadline.
My only (minor) disappointment is that J2 nosed me out by *one* spot which I
suspect I'll never live down, once he notices it (don't anyone tell him,
ok?). His entry, you have to admit, is REALLY remarkable... that swing
bridge is *so* impressive...
I've said this before and I'll say it again, no doubt... the ISCC was the
best LEGO(r) contest ever held, fan OR company sponsored, bar none.
I boggle to think how much work it must have been to run though... I hope
Rene takes it on again next year but no one could blame him if he decided
he'd rather have an actual life for the 5 month period it took instead of
living eating breathing and sleeping ISCC.
