Every month it gets harder to pick a winner. There are so many factors to consider that determine the skill, talent and various other attributes of the builder, or do we simply pick what looks like would me the most difficult for the voter to do?
How does one compare a complicated CNC made model from a downloaded program to a simpler model of innovative design made on manual machines? Throw in the the models from castings and all the plans available on the net and judging becomes a nightmare.
As others have said on the June projects, there are three winners, but all in different categories. It is painfully obvious, that we can't have a hundred different classes to accommodate all the different types, or we would spend all our time judging and nobody would be making models for the following month.
