Our entrant chose to withdraw from this month's contest, leaving the field wide open.

we've received another entry. All we need is one more to keep the contest from being postponed.

With only two entries, this month's contest is likely to be rolled over into November.

At the last possible moment, a couple models have been entered to keep the contest alive!

Jessica, Have you and the other Admins ever given any thought to changing the model of the month, which doesn't seem to get many entries to lets say a quarterly contest instead?

One thing that has bothered me about the MOM contest is that the present format is just a single picture with no credence given to detailing, model corrections, etc. Perhaps a change in format which up to lets say 6 pictures of the entry is posted along with a limited paragraph or two describing the build.

This way everyone can vote on what the model represents more then just a single picture which doesn't really tell the whole story. It shouldn't be taken for granted that the viewers have followed the build blog, if there was even one.

Jess, I just voted in the Oct. Model of the Month. I had the same issue as with the previous months. And if I'm having them, I'm fairly confident others do too. And that's trying to get an overall view of the entire model from a single picture.

My previous post would also help to resolve this issue as well.

Joel
