BOSWELL891 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 So i guess the honorable mentions are like 2nd and 3rd place right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin T Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Pretty much,but they don't really tell us which one is second or third.Also there were different classes too,man this is confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniej01 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Congrats to the winners. This was my first time entering anything. I didn't even know about the contest until about mid April. About the same time I started getting back int the hobby. didn't have a lot of time to get I done but I was very pleased with the results. I know I have posted them here before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOSWELL891 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) If you click on a picture of a winning model it will say view image details and when you click that it will bring you to a page that will have clickable links that say 2012, Winner, and then the class the winning model is in, if you click on the class link it will bring you to a page that shows the winner and two honorable mentions that looks like the placing order of the models, Here's an example http://staceydavid.com/categoree/contest-category/15-under-unlimited Edited July 18, 2012 by BOSWELL891 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moparmagiclives Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 It looks like the broke those down into more catagories, not order. "best use of color" and "most use out of the box" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91blaze Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Jamie, that is a beautiful Camaro. The paint is especially nice, black paint never works for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOSWELL891 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 The ones at the bottom are broke down that way and they are from last year but the ones at the top from this year don't say anything about best use of color or most out of the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildrice Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Some nice builds. Im not sure what the judges were looking for as Ive seen nicer builds pictured here than what won. I know its all a matter of what each judge liked but mold lines left on a body of a winning build come on. Id like to see a list of all that entered the contest. How does everyone that entered actually know their pics went thru and were actually received by Revell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR442 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Nice paint job!! I wouldn’t even attempt black. You certainly pulled it off with flying colors. No pun intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR442 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I aslo wondered from the beginning if my pics got through. The first several times I tried submitting, the form would clear and start over again. It took 2 days of trying before I got the "thank you" page. Then I emailed Revell to check and a woman emailed me back saying; "as long as you got the thank you page, they went through." Still, I had that uneasy feeling like sending out a fax and not having a conformation letter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slammedi'am Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Congrats to everyone who won... Jim,I had the same problem when I tried doing mine...I also called Revell and they did say they made it...

Ace-Garageguy Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) Well, since this is now labelled the "official" Revell / Gearz thread, I'll post my own entry one more time. I know, I'm a jerk, but I'd really like to see the judging sheets. I'm wondering if my entry was received (again no confirmation email), and if so, if it was disqualified for some reason, maybe the 50% rule. I'd sure like to know how to do better next time. While we're at it, I frankly think the 50% parts rule in the "unlimited" class was vague and open to several interpretations (50% of the parts in the box had to be used? 50% of the parts on the model had to come FROM the box? 50% by weight? 50% by counting individual parts on the completed model?). Anyway, I sincerely congratulate the builders of the cars that had what it took to win and place. 4" scale top-chop, flush-fitted windshield. Chevelle kit-chassis center-section with Corvette C5R ends, rails and suspension. Chevell kit engine, modified with front mounted blower and magneto. Scratch-built hood gills, upper roll cage, through-frame exhausts. Chevelle kit optional wheels with turned alloy rims to fit the C5R tires. Opened deckild. Through-deck vintage Indy-car fuel filler. Full custom rear panel with Corvette C5 taillights. Filled, narrowed and painted front bumper. Chevelle kit instrument panel, modified to fit cage. Testors Flaming Orange and 3 coats of clear lacquer. Lots more, and nowhere to list any of it on the entry form. PS. I'm really glad this contest came up. I hadn't finished a build in years, caught up in that "perfectionist" trap. The competition gave me something to shoot for, time-wise. Finishing one and having it to look at on the shelf plus the resulting inspiration to finish some more....well, it's a lot more important to me than winning anyway. One of the better quotes from racing: "you can't win if you don't finish". Yup. Edited July 19, 2012 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR442 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Shane, Wow, nice job! I love the paint job. Nice engine too. It all fits together nicely. Looks drivable. William, awesome customizing and detail. I’m glad we’re posting our pictures here. Not only does it give us a chance to show what we accomplished, but also to see what incredible work, others who didn’t make the cut, have done. Great work guys! I also want to congratulate those who did win, but I can’t seem to see any of the pics of honorable mentions at the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slantasaurus Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 With all of these completed models pictured in this thread I'm surprised that Harry or Casey hasn't moved it to the Under Glass section.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the better quotes from racing: "you can't win if you don't finish". Yup. I think you did an awesome job Ace, your body and scratchbuilding skills are top notch. There are so many great things about your build, I don't know where to start. There were a couple firsts for me on my build, but I'm not good enough with body work yet to pull off ALOT of the tricks you had up your sleeve. Great build.

Lunajammer Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I would be remiss if I didn't add that I'm thrilled to see people's entries here. They are both intimidating and inspiring at the same time. Remember from last year that the acclaimed judges were given packets of pre-sorted photos provided to them by Revell/Gears, which means the photos had already had one round of judging from producers and execs before the model experts had their say. The models' photos have to look good on TV, be relevant to the program and serve the needs of the sponsor, Revell. That's just business.

Ace-Garageguy Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 .....Here's a very fine entry by Marcus Jones, with an exceptional scratchbuilt frame, and it also appears to have won nothing. He may be too humble to post it here himself, so I'll do it for him. This model is certainly worth looking at for any of you who haven't seen it before. The lack of recognition of this build is another reason why I'm interested in the EXACT interpretation of the rules concerning 50% content in the unlimited class, and what the judging criteria were. Personally, I would have to give this one top marks. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=58199 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
