Too late! I've side-lined my starfighter build & moved on to something "whiffier". :rolleyes:

In the link above, I liked the location of "Chacal":

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

I wanted to enter that contest but could not understand the rules  :banghead: LOL so i skipped it which is good because I would not have finished on time anyway.

I will tell you this about that contest though... it seems like every entry is a gold medal, every ship i clicked on in the 'contest entries' section looked incredible. I can't believe all those entries are from the same contest, it looks like a "best of" from all over the web  :o  :o

There are a lot of seriously good modellers on SSM (I'm not one of them), most of whom have a really good attitude to modelling (it's a hobby, not a competition), but because they have chosen SF as their preferred subject they don't get seen too often outside SSM (although there are a few here, I notice :thumbsup:).

There was also a rather good discussion not long ago about the perceived differences between "Science Fiction" & "What If".

And like every forum, there are some serious rivet counting overly serious people who can harsh my mellow there as well. Lots of good people, lots of great talent, and a few vocal complainers who view it as a competition, not a hobby.

Oh well.
