Sir Nelson is the top MOCker for this contest, with his "Holy Grail" topping the list:

Congratulations to Nelson and all of the entrants. Honorable mentions, in no particular order, go to:

First, I would like to say thanks to the CC Admins for this contest, and for finding my entries worthy of both Winning and of honorable mention! :D

Second, I wish to say congratulations to Sir Dillon and eNiGMa, and also to everyone else who entered! There were a lot of good vignettes here, and (trust me) I know how hard it can be to judge a contest like this!!! :lol:

I have informed Anthony Sava that I wish for my prize (the Purple Pod) to be donated to his Salvation Army drive for toys for the children affected by Hurricane Katrina. Thanks, Tony! (If you can donate a new LEGO set, I would encourage you to do the same!!)

Lastly, I am really surprised and honored by the number of hits on my Brickshelf pages for these vignettes. To be honest, I like "Holy Grail", too, because it is so simple, and the photos came out very well. As a building technique, trans-colored bricks (and slopes) photographed under natural light are very nicely captured in vignette images! :idea:

Again, thanks!

Congrats, Sir Nelson! A well-deserved win, for an obviously deserving person. On your vig (since I don't think I commented when you posted it originally): I really like the stained-glass window and the sense of movement, but what I like most is that you've demonstrated "tribal knowledge" about the admins that goes beyond simply representing their sig-figs in a funny situation. Very nice.

Congrats buddy.

But, but,why didnĀ“t i win. I gave you those 100 bucs lenny. And i got you the 2001: a space oddyssy to you on dvd Nate. And you know that yoda set i got you was considered a gift.

Who else do i have do give something to to win these lusy contests around here.


Ok, enough with the irony here. I think you did a noble thing and it was indeed a good thing to done the purple people eater. i would have done it to (though).

Uhm yeah.

And congrats to evryone who didnt win, we all rock anyway.
