Thanks guys. Will give it a go

Alrighty, got a couple more bits and bobs to add. Still want to do more but I'm lucky to have time to work on this today as it is.

The dumpster -- this will do, it's not perfect, but I couldn't find the same pill sorters that I used for my initial pill sorter dumpsters. A bit tall, and not 100% the traditional shape, but I think it will look fine painted up.

The grease/oil dumpster -- I'm pretty happy with this. It's actually the on/off switch for the power supply that was built into the case that makes up 3/5 of the building. I figured a restaurant needed a grease dumpster.

The HVAC thing -- I've opted to leave the top alone, let it suggest the space/future. Harvesting components off of old motherboards is a pain in the ass, but this piece looked just right. I added some wires/pipes and made a faceplate to cover the rough side where I had to dremel it off the board.

So if I can get these three things painted by the 12th, I'll be happy to say I'm done with the project. If I can add more, I plan to. The backs of the Taco Mars signs are plain, they could use some scribbling like 'for a good time call slutty mcslutterton at ###-#### but maybe ab it more space/future'. And some more tagging up there if time permits.

I'll turn things over to Really Excited Display Monster to cap things off:

THANKS GRIM. LOOK AT THIS STUFF! TWO DUMPSTERS AND SOME THING THAT GOES UP ON THE ROOF! I LOVE ROOFS, YOU CAN JUMP DOWN ON PEOPLE AND THEN EAT THEM! BACK TO YOU GRIM!

Whew, that guy is always excited isn't he folks? More later

Floor in:

Need to sort support for floor and a few other bits, but hopefully still on track

I am very excited. And dreading the judging, in a fun way

This is exciting.

So looking forward to seeing all your amazing work on display.

Enjoying the thought of Graven pulling his hair out judging. hehe.

status update... everything is done...i am planning to do a photo session tomorrow...gotta catch a good light that makes everything stand out...

I'm so glad to have finished my prizes for the previous round before this round finishes.

I'm also glad I'm not on judging duty.

but you will slip some "artistic" insights?...i quite benefited every time...

I'm pretty much done. I may still do more but I'll be lucky to get photos in tonight really.

27 hrs Mateys! A bajoran day left. More or less

Glad to know I'm not the only one to remember pointless scifi facts instead of useful information

And you just wanted the gallery with the finished entries PMed right? I'll have to get on that. Not going to have daylight for photographs most likely so they'll probably be sub-par...however that will just aid in hiding all of my sloppy work muahaha!

I may have to cast my little grease dumpster, on the off chance I make some more fast food joints and can't find any more switches to use.

Remember you have till tomorrow midnight. Hopefully daylight will emerge at some point pm, yes please.

I screwed up. I thought I had two days left, not one. Well, I'll just finish it and post it up anyways.

Yeah, I don't usually count on getting anything done on Saturdays, the wife and kids tend to make plans for me But we'll see. It may not be as rainy as I was expecting.

I'm gonna add some bottle-cap barrels for some extra scatter value and so the roof actually provides some cover for games like Infinity where you need a certain percentage of your model obscured. Pretty quick stuff, but y'know. May as well glob it on to the entry as it's scratch built and technically (temporarily) attached to the building.

Also a question. What can I do with these holes in the roof? The HVAC/thing uses one up pretty well, but I'm not sure how to utilize the others.

I could cover them up with the barrels as in the second photo, though that's a bit lazy and doesn't solve the problem all the time.

Thoughts?

That's the spirit

Cannot possibly comment

the barrels idea works quite well... if you want to change... how about some kind of lamps there? and smokestacks/chimneys would do it too...

I've probably said most of what I would along the way, but I will share any final thoughts as usual.

Could make them drains for the rainwater. Just a little grill over them, job done.

Uploading my final photos now. I'll PM the link to the boss as soon as they're done.

Good luck folks

Tick tock, tick tock... I'm away to my bed, but I won't call time till tomorrow

PM sent

Got a pile of pms, and am starting to browse galleries. Yggdrasil is helping if he can with the judging. Gawdamsumbish seems to have vanished in the warp...

Good luck everyone!

i didn't vanish in the warp,. although i was a bit delayed by college football...

sorry i haven't been around as much as i should probably have been. a lot of RL issues (good and bad).

De Nada, RL comes first

Hi. Is there going to be a public vote this round? Couldn't remember and keen to see what everyone else came up with.

Good luck everyone

Thanks for all your entries gang. The judges have a tough time ahead! I'm giving Stormwall a chance to finish before putting up the public vote later on - it'll be Monday-Friday I reckon.

splendid...a week in turmoil...

just sent graven my guest judge input. i do not envy him making a final decision.

excellent work from the contestants!
