Congratulations Tom! Although I liked your entry, I liked your other one the best. The red ninja getting into the castle to save the guy, and turning out to be the girl was AWESOME!......wait a minute...that wasn't your other one :P In all seriousness, I did like your other entry "If He Only Knew" the best( out of all of them). I'm glad you won, even if it was for your other entry.

Congrats, MR. TS, for your winning vignette! I enjoyed the humor and good piece usage. I showed it to my mom and she liked it the most out of the final five also! :P

YAY! I won! :D

I'm very happy to have won this contest. I always wanted that champion logo under my name, haha. (even if its only for a month and not the master builder one lol)
I really enjoyed this contest. I never tried making vingnettes before. I never thought it would be fun...but i was wrong and i really enjoyed making them! I really liked the challenge of being restrained(sp?) by a 8x8 space.

The other entries where awesome as well, and i seriously didnt knew who was going to win. They all are great entries.

Congrats to you V1. Your entry was very nice. I liked how you made the trees/bush and wood, also your combination of dark grey and dark bluish grey works very nice in your third vigentte.

Thx all for the congrats! Makes me happy! :)

@Quickblade22:
Thank you! Fun to read you liked my other entry best. I also liked that one, but i figured the 4 vignettes were too alike...So i thought lets make a 2nd one with more variation, 4 more differents mocs.
Anyway nice to hear some one liked my other entry too! :)

@Jansen:
Thanks! Thank your mother too, and say hi from me. lol!

And ofcourse to SavaTheAggie:
Thank you for hosting this contest. You did a great job. :) I really liked the voting idea to pick a winner, maybe this could be done in other contests too?
Thx again for hosting this, you made me make my first vignettes, and i really enjoyed it!
You want a piece of me?!?!

Hey guys,

This was a fun contest, so thanks to all who entered. There were a lot of great entries and several others could have been on the short list for voting. Congrats, Tom. Your story is really well told and the details of construction are really nice.
