I'll edit the poll to get you in stoop, it'll reset the votes I think so everyone who's already voted should vote again. Although, I'm thinking about keeping you out so that the rest of us have a chance.
Edit: I'd like to see that timelapse though, any chance you can upload it to vimeo or something?

But then I looked and realised it isn't too hard. What would take me a lot of time would be understanding the design of the train. I don't really know what piece goes where etc and I'd be spending a lot of time researching Good job man.
I did spent a long time studying the train cause I don't know the much of the detail either. And there are internet blind spots on this model, I had to find some old sepia tone pictures and zoom in to get a vague idea of what some of the areas look like. and to get the side view I had to screengrab a video on some random website, and it didn't have the whole shot of the train visible. You can't see what's up on my second monitor in my timelapse, but believe me when I say I spent a lot of time scrolling through my reference.
But a speed model can't really be a difficult model, you have to pick something that you can start and detail in 2 hours and one that can be modeled cleanly, you may notice in my model that there are almost no edges that aren't being used to define shape.
Plus, you have to do a little crowd pleasing, I learned that the hard way in the Gun modeling speed challenge, the berretta isn't an easy pistol to model, but I submitted a clean, decently detailed model of one and it earned like a quarter of the votes that the guy in first got. And I guess that's to be expected cause most of the people voting aren't modelers (nor should they be, just "looking good" is obviously very important in a model as well)
Now I'll give my vote to rawmeat
Also, I'm thinking maybe we should change the title of the thread to include (poll reset) so that people who already voted know to vote again.
And the Timelapse isn't very exciting, I messed up the recording so 2 hours of work goes by in a little over 10 seconds, so not even rapidly clicking pause and play will get you to see every frame. You will not be able to gather any info about how I created the model from it, it's only practical use is to show that did only spend 2 hours on it (if you watch it in high quality you can see my clock). Next time I'll make a better recording

And there we have it, stoopdapoop is the winner. I wish I could give out badges and such. Maybe I'll make a sig the winner can wear for a week. Maybe we'll have a competition for it!
Anywho, the next battle is going to be sometime this weekend. Probably going to start and end at the same time this one did. Beginning on Sunday morning GMT and ending on Monday morning GMT.
also, why end the poll now? it's real close and the new challenge doesn't start till the weekend. We just need to let people know that the poll was reset and we'll probably get some more votes
A new topic should have been made or at least some kind of announcement when the poll was reset. I voted before the reset, so now my vote has just disappeared, which is quite unconsiderate. Also, I think it's unfair to allow an entry that was about 12 hours late for the deadline. Maybe an hour late is fine, but 12 hours is not.
