That's why I find it strange how some people were discouraged after seeing Stoop's entry.
Also, this would have been my entry...if I made it:

I'd say the symbolism is important, but not the main factor. It seems to really depend on the person. As a modeler I always look for complexity, cleanliness, and straight up difficulty when deciding who to vote for. But many people who we're asking to vote couldn't do that, even if they wanted to. So they vote for which they think looks the flashiest, or what they think is the best idea.
When I decide what to model, I generally pick something with lots of parts, cause everyone likes lots of parts :D I also thought about modeling the TF2 briefcase, but there's not really alot to model, just a flattened cube with some buttons.
