Wow, great entries. I love seeing how the trash was turned into some great stuff.

This is gonna be a tough one.

Ok, on the front page.

I would also like to use this thread to thank L.E. for organizing this. Organizing any contest isn't easy and arranging prizes and dealing with myriad things that usually come up sure does keep one on their toes. I thnk L.E. does a great job and can't wait to see what contest he arranges for us in the future.

Thanks to ISY and Spry for organizing this awesome contest! I had so much fun pushing my custom making imagination to create my Imperial Ready Room. The thrill was all in the making of something. Using trash made me get in touch with my inner Jawa :)  Good luck Ars30! May the best trash win!

Can't believe this ended already.  I thought we had way more time left.  Great entries though and a very cool concept for a contest.

I wish I had time lately to participate.   >:( 
oh well... I did start digging for parts to make something for this contest, but I only managed to have one night free since the contest started and decided to just finish my latest custom up...
I don't post much but I do make a point to try to read every day to see what you guys are up to.

But dag these entries are great.  It's going to be tough to decide.  I love them... Nice work!

Great entries fellas!

I really wanted to participate in this one too.  :(

Before L.E. even started this contest I had been saving all kinds of junk just for customizing purposes. (Much like my old PaPa used to do, depression era)

I just didn't have the time. Oh well. Maybe you all will do another down the road.

This would have been the perfect competition for me, but work got in the way of fun...Life eh!

Guys, your entries are wonderful and its hard to decide between them but I managed in the end...

Obviously, I didn't make the time to enter this one.  :(  That's ok - when a publisher says, "We'd love it if you sent us some more articles,"  you jolly well SIT DOWN and start writing!  If, that is, you want to be a writer in a given field.  Cool entries, guys!
