I might have to dremel at 9 at night tomorrow to get mine finished, but that's cool cuz I'm in Long Beach. If the gun shots and screams don't wake people up, I doubt they'll mind my dremel.

Lol... Heavy sleepers in your area I suppose!
 
It says the contest is from March 1st to midnight April 15th, so I would assume that means that 11:59pm on the 15th is the last time to send in pics.

Correct me if I'm wrong?

Well since 11:59pm on the 15th will occur 24 times.......
.......if you want to get technical that would be the last time
it occurs where ever that is, (Samoa??) then if you adjust for Daylight
Savings Times....calculate the GMT aka UT1 and the UTC.....:confused

Just glad The Next Doctor said:
The end of April 15, I am not going to be a horses arse about time zones. >>>clip<<<

I don't think anyone has to worry about getting left out.

Shylaah
 
I've got mine submitted. I wasn't sure how many pictures we were to send, so I took quite a few.

Plus, I'm not pleased with the doodads I had to use on it, primarily because I didn't have access to a rivet gun. But I'm overall pleased with what I was able to do. And I've come to learn an important lesson: don't sand plastic with sandpaper meant for wood, unless you want it to show up past the paint job. I can't wait to explain why I call it "The Midway" and the construction.
 
WAIT why dont i see my name up there???

I am kinda scared now, do you have mine??
or did it not make the final cut?

Dude, relax. The time he has listed is 9:01 pm for the last time he checked. I sent mine in at 9:18 pm and it's not there. But I'm not worried. Just be calm. He'll update the list when he can.

I sent mine in when the contest started, about a month ago.
 
I got the last of my dremel work done today, now I just have a bit of weathering, filing, soldering, and gluing left to go.

Just out of curiosity, that message that says more prizes are coming is still up on the second post, will there be more popping up in the last 24 hours?

I second the relax, probably just need to be patient and it will get sorted out.

However since confusion might happen, I move to support that just in case anyone's email didn't go thru we give a grace period and not be inflexible in case of a problem with missing entry once the deadline goes past.

By the list I see I'm in, but I want everyone who wants to participate to get the chance to join in.
 
Just sent my entry in as well. :D

I have no delusions that I'm going to win so my goal in this competition will be to receive at least one vote. I entered the lightsaber contest and didn't get any... Baby steps! ;)
 
WOW I hate that I missed this. I have seen the new sonic and had planned to make a custom design sonic screwdriver with moving bits before but now I have a more definite design in mind. luxeon blue 3 watt LED for the main light (basically it will be a fancy looking blue flash light :D) with some arms that will swing out and have small 3 or 5 mm high brightness LEDs on them. body made of brass and leather like my goggles on my site.

I didn't get any votes last time either. Such is life. At least it's fun to participate.
 
I think its safe to say we are all submitting to show off our handiwork. If we win or not is just a byproduct. To me, I honestly don't expect to win anything. I'd be happy with an honorable mention of some sort. Besides, like I said before: I'm not pleased with the doodads I had to use on it, primarily because I didn't have access to a rivet gun. But I'm overall pleased with what I was able to do and I have learned from the experience. Who knows, I just may do a Version 2.0 of mine just for the fun of it.
 
There are a couple parts of mine I want to replace in the future because I was too rushed to do them right. I also want to add sound back in because there was really no reason to remove it other than that I don't have the time or tools to make sound holes in the casing.
