Rig of the Month Discussion thread

[WoodiE]

I posted 5 pictures (too many), because I don't think 1 did it justice.

So in other words, you felt the rules didn't or shouldn't apply to you?!

Thanx Wicked. I admit I was in a hurry, I am at work and wanted to get my entry on quick, as I believe there is an advantage to being 1st in line. I didn't mean to break the rules or cheat.

This is the vehicle I entered https://www.rctalk.com/forum/threads/boats-by-heisenburg-red-m41-widebody-catamaran-kitty.126396/
I posted 5 pictures (too many), because I don't think 1 did it justice. The tailights (4) are tiny, but effective. The headlights fold down when not in use. Then I added sidemarkers after a test drive at night. It has an orange bulb near the exhaust so it lets out a plume of orange mist when moving.
Maybe its the wrong vehicle to enter for this reason. I think it was the Minnesota twins who said "There's always next year".,

No worries man. If I delete anybody's post, I typically will attach a note to explain why. Somebody was probably just in a hurry as well. Lots of things to do moderating this place, and as they say - time is money

Sorry, just posted in a hurry. I also said I did not intentionally cheat. Maybe use a mirror next time.
What's done is done. Armed with an explanation from a witness, I might be able to participate another time. In the meantime, also read the rules. Like I said, and I apologize, just tried to get it posted in a hurry

I get what you are saying and BOY is THAT a nice looking boat!
A lot of ppl here put in TONS of featured and a lot of hours into each mod and detail in their rigs.
I couldn't begin to count nor care to admit to how long my current project has taken!
I have been away from my build thread lately but I try to post enough pics there so ppl can see my work as it goes...
Its art when it gets posted in ROTM IMO. Its different. Its THE pic of your boat catching air over some Bob Ross waves or whatever your idea of THE perfect pic.
Great news! You cam post every month until you win too! You don't NEED to choose just one pic to post either. Rotate them in.
Lots of ppl here post every month because they love their cars and are proud and want to show them off.
Winning is secondary to being in the show.

It's like majin's 'Old Man'. He has entered that truck a number of times. It took just one shot for him to get the win

 

[Heisenburg]

I am not sure my work is the most beautiful (I could do better using more time and money) but I figure I could have a shot with the uniqueness of my work. I have lights on almost every vehicle I own, including tail pipe lights that strobe when the car is accelerated. I have police cars and fire trucks with lights and siren switched from the remote. I always put decals inside the body with "picture glue" and keep the bodies waxed.
All of this is kind of difficult to illustrate without a little description.

I'm going to keep entering my Optic until I get a win. It's going to look completely different each time, too. Can't stop me!

You're all heart. Wish I was. Just feeling discouraged, but blaming no one but me

Just repost a single pic dude. Super easy. Posting order definitely does not dictate the outcome. Or don't! Whatever floats your boat.

...see what I did there?

Fair enough. Again, your photigraphy skills will improve over time too. Its about catching the right shot and getting lucky is just as likely to get you the win.
Your effort show and no, we won't get ALL the action. Don't underestimate the veiwers ability to see your efforts either.

Don't be discouraged for not winning
Instead be discouraged when you DO win....
Can't enter again for a year.. stoopid rules. It should be can't WIN again for a year lol
I just love entering each month
Like what am I supposed to do now

Great shot

 

[TeknoJ]

I'll sit this one out this month, otherwise it just won't be a fair contest. You're welcome.

Oh man. You posted a portrait shot. It got deleted. Your shot needs to be more like this. But read below.

Guys, when posting your photos for ROTM, make sure they are in landscape mode. Also, leave a little space on either side of your vehicle.

This is not acceptible.

Like this one is ok.

But this one is better, but a little space above and below as well might be better. This image may get cropped when posted on the main page.

This one is PERFECT.
