I'd love to see those spaceships. Oh, when you're done, make sure to wear a glove like the one on the box, and have all your ships fit in the palm of your hand ;)

Lemming #1756 says spaceships also. I have not seen that kit before, looks like an interesting one.

Sorry, but I always have to go with steamships over space ships.

I pick the space ships becuase they probably have more part to make!

Although I dare Phil to make the Hampton Court Palace in total with all the sets.

So, you want to see my head explode? How about London Bridge!

I would have sworn you folks would have picked the Cleremont.
I am not at all displeased, just surprised.

I know it has been only 1 day for this poll, but I have already made my decision...going with the populous.

If I finish in time to also do the Cleremont, I will.

How could I disappoint my friends? (at least, the friends who are not trying to kill me...LOL).

I will leave the poll open anyway (5 days tells more than 1).

You could be like the Iran and say the people they vote for the Cleremont anyway even though the poll it say otherwise!

Though I made my decision, does not mean it cannot be reversed.:D:eek:

I will try, to not start the build report until after this poll...

Thanx Phil!

Well, I've some bad news!:(

After seeing the requirements for the Sims3, I realized I needed more RAM and also a new graphics card. I got 2GB of ram but cannot afford the graphics card yet.

I decided to run the game anyway (my graphics card is decent, but not quite up to par) and it fried the graphics card.

So, my computer will be offline until the first of next month.

I have only limited access to my wife's computer (the one I'm typing with now) so, I guess I will be able to play with you all then.

I had not printed the spaceships yet, and I can't even access them on my computer...gonna have to wait!

Time for some belated spring cleaning...

Your fellow modeler and ex-opinion typist...Phil Shore:D

Because it is embarassing if you are to start some thing as part of a group or contest and then you find no one else did it and you are just there by yourself and then it is hard to have the motivation to finish since no one else even bother to start.

There is already one completed entry to the contest. I really look forward to your build KGLL - you do such a good job with the micromodels ;)

Sorry to hear about your computer Phil. My wife is pretty interested in Spore, although she gave up on the Sims series when it went from version 1 to 2.

Phil

Spore is great!!! I can't keep my hands off it.
No energy for modeling, and no time to read the 6598 posts since I was here last...sorry to disappoint you all...BUT, the very next model I build will be the spaceships...just no telling when.

Good Day to you all!:D

Hello Phil, I was wondering what happen to you, Well I told you the family was going to grow and it exploded. The main page move so fast that if you posted this morning that by the evening you are out of the page already.

Personally I would prefer the Claremont but the Spaceships I believe would post faster than the steamer. So first build the Spaceships, and then We will patiently await the docking of the Claremont.

Good to see you post, I was just wondering how you were doing yesterday. I understand about keeping up with the forum, I try and at least scan every update to every thread and it's hard to do that, and I'm not working for another week and a half still lol.
