Nice idea

Press add new poll (This is in any board)

Nice idea indeed, but a poll would only work if ALL models have been placed in the topic before the voting. Or else you could vote only once and if there's a better one added later, you cannot change your vote.

What you could do is, aks modelers to showcase their work here for the contest. And set a closing date. Say, entries can be put here for one week and no longer after that week has past. (or however long you want.)

After that period is over, you could add the poll to it and include all the modelers/models in it. Then people could vote for their favorite. Something like that.

By the way, that kind of prices are you gonna give the winner(s)??

Regards,
Fred

I could enter this http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,2953.0.html (http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,2953.0.html) but it doesn't really look good compared to the poisidon $:-\$

Mr Robville · « **Reply #14 on:** January 18, 2008, 15:30:43 »

WHAT!? that's one hell of a masterpiece!
i am not that good with google sketchup, i can't even make a smooth hull with that program, just continue the work, it's gonna be promised

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #15 on:** January 18, 2008, 21:56:39 »

Perhaps he used Delftship (http://www.delftship.net/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1).

But even then, it's really good! And if it's done in Sketchup from scratch, it's really really really good.

Paddy134 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 19, 2008, 12:28:24 »

no i cant work that programme, its too complex.

Mr Robville · « **Reply #17 on:** January 20, 2008, 14:31:07 »

i will try

btw programme is a schedule of something, what you mean is program

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #18 on:** January 20, 2008, 22:01:28 »

FYI

Programme is the same as Program. It's just different variants. Programme though, is especially British.
It's not used that often compared to it's shorter relative nowadays, but has the same meaning nonetheless.

Fred

[RWP]DJM · « **Reply #19 on:** January 20, 2008, 22:05:04 »

Excuse me for interrupting here, but being British I have to say something

Programme is usually associated with a number of things, like TV programmes, football programmes (as in booklets) etc.

Program was adopted over here from America to mean software, the only time you will see programme used to relate to software now, is when someone gets these two words mixed-up

Thanks for the clarification!

The dictionary said is was OK, but I guess in commonly spoken/written language this doesn't always work that way.

Fred

marcstrat · « **Reply #21 on:** January 20, 2008, 22:15:47 »

If i can help,
Programme,is a shedual of things,like Tv-programs
A program,can be something to run on your pc.I think you can compair this as "programma" in dutch,which can be programme in english.
I hope this has been helpfull,or maybe someone has a different oppinion.

Something to really bear in mind too Fred......local dialect, this can dramatically alter the way words are used in many Countries. The Dictionary is probably right, we all have different ways of speaking I guess, even when we live in the same Country

That's why these online translators rarely work, they don't take local dialect into account

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #23 on:** January 20, 2008, 22:29:16 »

Yup indeed, the online translators make for poor results. I avoid using them to be honest. If I need to look at a word I just grab the old fashioned big papery thing with a hard cover around it. Oxford edition.. hehe.. Works a bit slower but the nostalgic smell is much nicer.

[RWP]DJM · « **Reply #24 on:** January 20, 2008, 22:31:30 »

LOL, I can understand that

I think we all get more nostalgic as we get older

Poll

Which of these ships do you like best?
