Hello to you all on Big Blue that haven't voted yet. You have but one day, 24 hours to do so. We thank all of you that have already voted, if there are any others that haven't decided yet, now is the time to get with the program or else you will miss out on a great opportunity to show everyone that you appreciate their efforts.
Remember, you can vote for as many or as few of the entries as you want to.....

I am aware that voting closes today. I posted pics on mine, not looking for votes, just wanted to show that I actually did something this time.
Don't follow me, I'm lost too.

Yup, the polls close in about two hours, so there's still a chance that a few straggling votes can come in. We are encouraging everyone that didn't finish their project to add to their threads and keep us posted on their progress, but as I stated, only the progress before the end of the challenge will count, so I'm glad you posted your progress and I hope everyone else will do the same.

Well, it's over and the voting tells the story. Everyone that participated and had something to show for their efforts needs to be congratulated, a few didn't get to far from the starting gate, but they need to be congratulated just for stepping up to the plate. Things don't always work out as planned and we all know how that happens.
Anyway, here are the results:
- E-paw for his Camelback takes away the first prize by a good margin
Doctorwayne came in second for his second batch of boxcars
Sumpter250 did well with third place for his work on his loco
All three will be receiving a certificate for their efforts.... 
We congratulate these three for extraordinary efforts on their projects and congratulations to everyone that participated. This has been one of the most productive challenges we have had in a very long time. And thanks to all of you that voted, we appreciate your opinion and thank you for giving recognition to those talented modelers deserved this recognition.

I.... :o ......., finished in the top three !!???.........Whoa!!!!!! 
I consider myself highly honored to be even close to E-paw, and Dr. Wayne, doubly honored to be counted among such accomplished company. 
Many thanks to the members who participated, and to those who voted !

Had a lot of fun doing this one, and watching everyone else post there progress. The best part of it all was that It got me off my duff and working on a few other projects. Thanks to all who had a hand in this and can't wait for the next one.

Nice going guys! Well deserved wins! I have to say that the whole idea of the challenge really did motivate me to get things done! I'd probably still be sitting on my duff otherwise!

Yup, I was pleased to finally get a couple of things finished, but the real treat was seeing what everyone else was up to. The number who entered was impressive, as was the quality of their work.
