links to projects in post above.

as there is only one entry for ages 13-16, it automatically wins for it's age group.

i will ensure everyone whom entered receives a prize! they all deserve it for putting their work up here for public review and comment. top 3 will get a little something extra ;)

could a moderator sticky this till it closes?

[Slaymaker]

I thought there were going to be 2 classes for each age group? Figures and Vehicles?

Hard to vote since I have 2 sons in it...hmmm - how can I vote for both? :D

you can always vote my mms :)

[arch2b]

i list how they were entered :)

i would have broken them up into additional classes however we only have 7 total contest entry threads and enough prizes to ensure everyone gets something. voting at this point is more for recognition than win or lose. there are no losers in this contest :)

[ocab27]

Custom Dreadnok's Swampfire for the win !! he hade the best story/pics :)

[arch2b]

can a moderator please change the poll settings to allow for multiple votes?

[Warrant Officer Flint]

I can't decide...

[Tankster]

sandman you got my vote :D

[Warrant Officer Flint]

can a moderator please change the poll settings to allow for multiple votes?

You can do that yourself. I'm pretty sure its an option if you created the poll.

[arch2b]

You can do that yourself. I'm pretty sure its an option if you created the poll.

i can't seem to find any options for that. please explain if i should be able to.

[wild weasel]

this will be interesting,some pretty cool customs,i cant wait to see the results

[Slaymaker]

You don't have to change it...it is better if one can only vote once...I will hold off on voting for a bit ... no worries. :D

I voted for my older boy's Recon Trooper since he was the only one with out a vote. :(

[SandmanXIII]

I couldn't decide where to place my vote so I showed everything to Mason and let him pick his favorite.
He voted for the Custom Rattler, so that's where our vote went.
It's realy hard to vote at all to be honest w/ everyone having done such a good job. I'm glad everyone will get something as I think that'll help to inspire them to continue.

[arch2b]

my thoughts as well. i can tell you now that i had always intended to send everyone something. i thought the contest aspect would inspire more competition however at the same time i didn't wan't to put off any of the kids with the poll voting so i held that bit of into till the end. this way everyone competed for fun and for a shot at a prize and ends up with both regardless :)

[Warrant Officer Flint]

Im debating between the rattler or the combat heroes..

[Slaymaker]

Gotta bump this for some more votes - come on tankers - support the young 'uns!

:D

[ninjapleazee]

all of them is a win

[O'doyle]

hey ,this is great. i think every body did a great job.the dads getting involved is awesome too. i suggested for tyler to make a heavy type BAT but he shot it down just because i suggested it. he wanted this to be his deal 100%. with my fodder of course.customs and G.I,joe were always huge to me. its wonderful to see the younguns getting into it.P.S. we actually had alot more pics

[xhairs]

they all look great good luck to all of you.

[Tankster]

bump for more tankers to vote this is for the kids tankers!!!

[SandmanXIII]

Yeah, let's get some love from the 'Noks fans out there...lol
Seriously though, let's just get some more votes for these guys. Let them see that others are paying attention to their accomplishments.

[arch2b]

yep, it would be nice to get some more love from the greater community ;)

[Tankster]

bump

[Outbackk]

Man, you guys are all champs! One of the coolest things on the Tank is seeing parents playing & spending time with their kids. I tip my hat to all of you!

[MachineGunEtiquette]

This is hard. I think all of them are full of win. What makes me the angriest about this whole shabangabang is that these kids are doing better customs than what I could do. Can't deal with them tiny parts. LOL.
Anyway, good stuff. I tried to vote for what looked like it took the most creativity, effort, etc.

[iDzBowl]

Great job guys! I wish I would have joined this forum earlier, my son would have loved this! All your customs are great, it was so hard to pick. Keep up the great work! Good job parents, anything we can do to spend time with our kids is great!

[daremo]

Great job by everyone! There are only winners in this contest. I hope we can see some more customs in the future, too.
