[Contest] Item 4 contest started

[Plastikman]

Entry #14

this one was called "Railfreight Distribution- The UK in the USA!"

[Plastikman]

hmm.. That photo textured one seems interesting. I'd never thought of it. Perhaps I'll try that in the next item.

Entries 1,2,4,8 and 11 are photo textured.


altho one is a picture of a model.


#1's texture is posted to see

[Plastikman]

Entry #15

Delaware & Hudson


I Think this is fictional..
I know they had all black 34' ones... anyone?

[Plastikman]

Entry #3 was pulled from the contest and I forgot to delete it.

We will call this one #3 just to fill the hole.

Entry #3 CSX

[Plastikman]

Ok,

you guys blew up my PM box this last week or so.

If I missed any entries or made a typo in your info. please PM me to get it resolved..

I'd love to make one, but I can't open the RAR file. Mostly because my trial of WinRAR expired last month, and I can't get another. Could someone post it in a zip or as a png (not jpeg, they hate me)?

[Plastikman]

even expired, winrar still works. it just nags you to buy it.. you think i bought it?

well i did back in the 90's but i lost my key not that it would work..

try 7-zip it is free and does the same thing

[Opan]

Yes winrar should work. Mine always says, "Winrar is a 40 day trail then you must purchase" Yet I've had it for nearly 3 years working fine.

There is also winzip, and several other programs out there, you just have to look.

[lego_trains]

This will be a tough round. There are a few really good ones.

[Plastikman]

Wow.. I'm an idiot. I just went to check the vote results.. only to see It never posted my new poll... It must have eaten my post.

Posted the poll again and I made sure it went...

15 entries. let me know If i missed any.

Good luck guys. this will be a hard one..


edit.

I should mention. due to limited time and complexity of model. i will not be making most of them. just the winners..

[Opan]

Too bad that not all can be made. But I understand, there look to be a lot more entry's then in previous items.

[Plastikman]

Keep voting guys.

I do not have time to build the winning cars yet.


When I do have time, I'll waste it chasing down OS bugs.
I have to rebuild the Dev box again. it is blue screening left and right. there is a generic driver bug in it somewhere, that or i need to make bios tweaks. from i see on the mobo manufactures forums. I',m not the only person with this bug.

(Another 2-month bump, I'm sorry, I know better )

Umm... what happened? I'm sure anyone who still remembers doing this would love to see the contest go on. Any possibilities? I thought this sort of contest was a great idea. A lot of work for Plastik, nonetheless.

As I recall Plastik had said something about a work emergency that could last a few months.

Sorry i have been insanly busy lately. work emergency ..
it is so bad, i might have to leave town for a month or 2 ..

That was from May 19th, so he's probably in the middle of it right now.

[Illegal_Alien]

Well, work goes first, i have atm soem free time, so i can work on stuff of my own, but i can go away as fast as he can. So be patient, we are not robots.

[Plastikman's #1 Fan]

Okay, okay. I understand. I guess I'm just not used to it, being a 7th-grader on summer break and such.
Still... could any possible "Item 5" be gondolas? There's an extreme shortage of those for lomo. One in the Megapack, one in Jose's Older US Stock pack, and one from Long John Silver's site. That's it.

Not to knock the work that has been put into these hoppers, but I'm kind of disappointed that the leading cars are kind of boring. While railroad companies represented do play a large part of peoples interest in these games, it's not exactly easy to see details on such small models and there are plenty of black hoppers already released.

[Nawdic]

I know I shouldn't be bumping, but any progress?
