2006 AF Eighties Contest - RESULTS!

[RallyRaider]

How did this creep up so fast? Here are the completed entries for the 2006 AF Eighties Comp!

As outlined in the Rules Thread voting is open to any member of AF who registered prior to 25 Jun 2006 (when the rules where first announced). To vote simply PM me, RallyRaider, with your choices. Just like the AFMOTY you can select three models in each category. Rank your favourite as three points, next favourite two points and third one point. To avoid confusion please use the below format:

Curbside
3 points – username, model
2 points – username, model
1 points – username, model

Fulldetail
3 points – username, model
2 points – username, model
1 points – username, model

If there is any uncertainty I’ll attempt to clear it up with a return PM, if time allows. Voting will be open for one week, closing on the 9th of July 2006. The models with the most points will be declared the winners. In the event of a tie a count back will occur with the highest number of three point scores (then two point scores if necessary) being declared the winner. One thing to note is that malscar has two cars entered in the curbside category, so be sure to nominate which of his cars you are assigning how many points, the BMW or Sierra.

So enough prattling on, here are the pictures! First up Curbside, with only the three entrants.

[RallyRaider]

First bit of news - an updated entry list, Bobble83's Lotus is a late entry. If anybody who has already voted wishes to revised their points after the change let me know. (Un)fortunately that won't be many people because less than 10 have voted so far. Don't know why, too hard to choose amongst these great models perhaps? I hope things will pick up as next Saturday's deadline draws near.

Votes so far:

Curbside
Gridgirl - 15
Malscar BMW - 14
Malscar Sierra - 13

I think your stock car is really nice.. When you see the small "diorama" I thought many people would vote for your model.. That´s the coolest Earnhardt scheme ever.. this and the Peter Max... Good job !

[voyageur]

Very nice models...makes it hard to chose. I picked my winners and say good look luck to all of you!

Cheers
Sebastian

[white97ex]

I would REALLY like to win this.. but I don´t think I will.. 20 points behind and 2 extreamly nice models ahead... I have to say: Congratulations to Robrex and Sennake

[quadzero]

This was a very difficult contest to vote it. Very hard to choose between some of these entries. There were alot that could have been 1st choice IMO. Congrats to all the entrants.

[RallyRaider]

Well voting has drawn to a close, now time to announce the results. But first let me say that everybody who entered is a winner in my book. Compared to those of us who fell by the wayside, all the people who actually finished deserve a prize. In fact they do in the form of some awesome models that now sit on their shelves.

But on to the nitty gritty, final points tally is as follows.

Curbside
Malscar Sierra - 58
Malscar BMW - 57
Gridgirl - 52

Full detail
Robrex - 55
Sennake - 46
Rickard_Olsson - 33
godfather23 - 23
white97ex - 12
SeanyG - 15
malscar - 5
stevenoble - 5
marci-blitz - 1
tigeraid - 1
Bobble83 - 1

If the first and second placegetters could please forward me their details, I'll start working on getting their prizes sent out.

Thanks to everybody involved, builders, voters and sponsors!
