I am holding a contest to see which person can create the best diagram of a given building. The winner will receive an iPod Touch. The poll will close in ten days, so vote quickly. Do not post anything on this thread, except your own design for the given building. Good luck, and may the best diagram win

Rules:
You must draw the building in some kind of Paint program.
Any diagrams involving Google Earth or Google Sketchup will NOT be excepted
You may draw to any scale you choose.
You do not have to participate in this contest

sorry to ignore what you said but my vote goes to One Astor Place and just to clarify on rules not covered, the diagram only has to be a front view, it may include a perspective of some kind and it does not need to become a model, just a view of the building. also my diagram will be at 1:850 scale

I'm gonna sit out on this one lol

That's ok. You don't have to participate

Just one side will do. 1:850 scale? Ok, that's fine

u have too much spare cash that u give away ipod touch? I would sell it on ebay

No, I just never use it. FROM THIS POST ON, NO MORE COMMENTS. Once the poll is up, you will have five days to create the diagram. You may post it before then

I don't know if you guys understood something in the first post, so I will make it easier to understand: The building with the most votes by the end of ten days, is the given building

Cityspire everyone
http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/ae246/lions_215/cityspire.png

Oh my god! That is really gonna be tough to beat!

mmmmm..........

Oh and another rule: You may NOT take someone else's diagram, alter it, and use it as yours. You MUST create an original diagram. You may use www.skyscraperpage.com for reference

what is our limitation to this is it only one diagram per person or can we do more

You can do all of them if you want. Just be prepared, because it might not be the CitySpire Centre

um, just to let people know, ssp is running a similar comp, theyt are offering a skyscraperpage diagram of your choice to the winner, building is chongqing world trade centre. i finished one astor place last night

Well post here! I would love to see what it looks like

If the poll comes out in a tie, I will create a new one with only those ones

i'll pm it to you and post a reduced quality and size one so nobody stealz it. hehe

alright that will be cool

Ausie, I saw your One Astor Plaza. It looks REALLY REALLY AMAZING!!!!!!!!

damn lions you scary!

Looks like CitySpire is winning

hey everyone. here's my version of One Astor Plaza. i decided to stick with the "plain" version without window deatils(blind etc) as it was too time consuming and this is most likely not going to be the model needed for the comp. going to do my own drawing of cityspire next. i have started waldorf astoria but since it is likely it won't be the final one i've stopped for now. so when is the end of voting for the building which will be drawn? then we get five days, when is that?

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok here it is its just a bit different made it from a slightly different angle
http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/ae246/lions_215/Competition.png

woah that deserves a *insert very loud applause here*

anyway nice job lions, im sure ss144 will be very proud when he sees it.

thanks ssl9595 and iphonetower i really appreciate it

thanks ssl9595 and iphonetower i really appreciate it

yeah you're welcome. that looks like it took hours on end to make.

how do you make it so smooth?

its on all paint except i have paint from windows seven so its a bit different from regular paint but yeah copy and paste did help out alot measuring is fast if you have the scale to lol but yeah patience is all

huh. i thought you just max out the pixels on paint then shrink it in photoshop or something, so it goes from 20 pixels/inch to like 175 pixels/inch

then again, maybe the scale would be off.

yeah lol

thanx, i am really starting to regret lions joining this comp, they r tooo good. :gaah: i needs to win this thing, lol. i don't have an ipod :cry: never have had one. :cry:
is my story good enough? lol jks. great work lions and everyone else. @ss144 u stolez my model :gaah: draw it urself lol.

me neither i have never owned anything that has has anything to do with apple
based on a true story lol

Are you in the competition?

haha no, I would get creamed by all the talent on here.I'm just a bystander seeing who will win.

Oh, thats ok.

The poll is up in 5 days

so who is in the lead lol

You

time to party but not get to confident lol there is still time

The reason is, since CitySpire is winning, and you are the only one who made it, you are in the lead

i guess i better submit my version of cityspire center soon or i might miss out. hopefully its close to as good as lions version :D

We shall see....

i guess i better submit my version of cityspire center soon or i might miss out. hopefully its close to as good as lions version :D

we shall see if yours comes out looking better than i might have to go back and redo it lol

ok, perfect way to winz, make mine better than urs then submit it the night before via private email, hehe, lol, good luck everyone else, is it just lions and i? oh and ss144?

i see how it is last minute entry we will see who gets the last laugh lol jk

^^lol, there i got the last laugh. hehe. i willz get the last laugh even if i do not win. i have a very devious plan. to enter my building just before time is up, lol

It doesn't matter. After the poll is over, you guys have five days to make the diagram. Entering at the last minute doesn't change a thing

IMO lions is the winner!!!!! Lions_215 is #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really loved his Waldorf Astoria and his CitySpire Center.

Not yet lol

It doesn't matter. After the poll is over, you guys have five days to make the diagram. Entering at the last minute doesn't change a thing

actually it can change things, because if you post your model here for everyone to see and save then you may find someone who finds a flaw in their own model and recreates it so it is better than theirs. and also it could mean someone takes it and draws over the top of it and claims it as their own. so it can matter. btw who is judging? if it us then i think the models should not be posted here before the poll is up.

I am judging

so wats going on do we have to make them into models now or wats going on

Nope. Once the poll ends, then you submit the model. NO LATE SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED

The poll ends tomarrow. All submissions must be here within the next 6 days

Ok so just to clarify now we need to make the model of the acutal building that has the most votes that being city spire or whatever its called lol right.

Exactly

Poll is closed. Submit drawings before September 20th

alright when do the models have to be done by is it by the 20th also

alright when do the models have to be done by is it by the 20th also

@lions, it was aid only the diagram. not the model, model is optional and not part of the competition. only a front view diagram or some other diagram of it showing a view of it. the same as u posted b4

Yay! Lions is here!

Looks like the contest ends tomorrow. Since there are only actually two people in this, there will be a second place prize. An iPod Nano

Really i thougjt it was three me ausie and ss144

Ss144 did not submit a diagram of the Cityspire

I didnt know that ausie made a diagram of cityspire i havent seen it

I saw it. It looks exactly like the building. Looks like ausie may win

He emailed it to me.

I won't announce the winner just yet. Plus, I need to find my iPod.

Ok then i guess its anyones game then
until tomorrow then lol

thanx lions for the support. i hope u get something out of it if u don't win.i emailed it to him so no one would just use my one and redraw over the top of it and claim as their own. i had that happen on ssp before.

Time to annouce the winner! And the winner is.........(drum roll)..........AUSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations, ausie! You win the iPod Touch!

Congrats ausie on ur win by the way now that the competition is over do u think u can show us ur diagram for cityspire please

Lions, since you came in second, you have a choice for a prize:

lions i recommend the nano ipod!! It has a video camara, games, fm radio, and much more!! ^^btw congrats ausie!!! :)

lions i recommend the nano ipod!! It has a video camara, games, fm radio, and much more!! ^^btw congrats ausie!!! :)

4th Gen iPod, not fifth gen.

oh, my bad. ^^ still nano ipod is better. :D

I guess i will take the nano lol
so im guess u r going to need to know my adress then right

Yes, you are correct. Don't worry, I promise I won't use your address for anything else but sending the iPod

Ok then i will email you my address if thats ok

i think everyone should vote and make a poll.

Thats fine

^^ I don't get what you mean.

I was talking to lions telling him that he can email his address to me

hey, thankyou sooo much for this, better luck next time lions but at least u got something out of it. well anyways, i don't have much time right now so can someone who has it post it for me, both versions too. i am pretty sure that ssl is the only one with it.

Alright yea it was a good compition but yea congrats ausie

Here is the deal; i will send it in an envelope since I don't wanna spend any money.

Thats ok with me lol

yeah watevs. will still cost a little bit. hopefully it doesn't cost u much. in think i should make a few special models for u for sending this over. also can u let me know ehn u send it so i know when it should come. btw, wat do i do about a charger? can i just buy one from a shop that sells ipods?

Ok, I will. I have to find it first, though. Yea, you can just go to any electronic selling store and get one for like $10.00

ok good. hope it makes it here alright. looking forward to this, btw did u wipe it or is it still wiv ur stuff

Do you want any apps or music on it?

yeah y not. i'll just get rid of the stuff i don't want. k. ttyl

lol ^^

yeah y not. i'll just get rid of the stuff i don't want. k. ttyl

If I put Metallica on it, will you delete it?

Lions, I will send you the iPod as soon as I get a padded package.

alright cool thanks man :cheers:

I haven't sent anything yet. I still need to find my iPod touch.

haha what happens if you can't find it?


Congrats to ausie!

If I can't find it.......I don't know what I will do

dum dum dummmmmmmmm lol time for a scavenger hunt lol first to find the i touch wins

What should I use as a backup prize?

that depends on what you are willing to give to ausie

Ipad lol

^^ good thinking wig. you should just send the ipad to me. lol.

yes! Good thinking wig! Or how about send a printer, ink catridges,glue sticks, scissors, and a pack of 500 sheets of paper. :lol:

yes all of the above. how about the apple store. lol. yes i could do with a new printer and stuff.

A printer I can do

hey seriously?? ^^ cause i was joking.

^^ good thinking wig. you should just send the ipad to me. lol.
Are you kidding me??????? No!!!! I love the iPad!

Okay SSL9595, here´s a tip: Don´t make a contest if you don´t know if you have the prize. I think Ausie deserves to choose his prize, since it was your fault not knowing that you didn´t have the prize. Im pretty sure Ausie was really excited for that IPodTouch and now his probably like :( I think Ausie would agree witn me.

^^ 100% agree but i'd rather not be mean to ssl so if you can just try to find the itouch. if u want u can send the ipad, lol. just the itouch is fine. otherwise why the hell did i bother making the model. please find it for me. if u want i can make some private models for you to help you find it?

make private models for him to find it!?!?!?!?!?!? Ok so your not getting an itouch and now you make him private models!?!?!?!? ^^^^

I promise you will get the iPod Touch

no no no, i was saying if he can find it i will make him some private models just to encourage him to find it and stuff, so if i make the models for him it will be more likely he will want to find it so our friend ship continues and shit (even though it will anyway)

Bawwwwwww! <3

do you have the nano or is it lost to

I have the Nano, don't worry about that. I just need some padded envelope

now i understand why 2nd place is better than 1st place, lol. :lol:

I have the Nano, don't worry about that. I just need some padded envelope

alright cool

Shouldn't you see if you have everything before you start the competetion?

Too bad there isn't a locator thing that it could tell us where everything is.

again, congrats to Ausie!

Hey lions, is it ok if I send you the Shuffle instead?

so you never had it in the begining....

I did, but I don't know where it went

maybe its hidden in your paper city or in your closet, or bed , did you look all over the place?

Just the beast under your bed. In your closet, in your head! Exit light! Enter Night! Crate of Sand! Sorry I couldn't help it. Anyway, we just did a major cleanup and its none of those places

so you did look in your city??? crazy...

It wouldn't be in my city

lol (I wouldnt be in my city) i dont think you would be able to fit in any of those models :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: i think you meant it

Seriously man

hey danny, have u sent the ipod off yet? have u sent lions one off yet too? if not please send it soon and hope lions gets his soon too.

I know, I will send them before Sunday

please do. i mean we made those diagrams like you asked now tits time to do your part of the deal

Tits time? LOL! Yea, anyway, I will send it off

Yes finally i will have something else rather them my mp3 to listen to im so looking forward to that you still have my address right ssl9595

Yes I have it

alright cool

lol

Lol

Lions, is it okay if I send you the Shuffle instead? The nano just stopped working for some reason. Also I have some good news. I got two small boxes today from the post office so now I can send them. Ausie, yours is ready to go, but I would like to have the address instead of the PO Box. Just for safety reasons, like if it gets lost in the mail, it is not insured and you will never get an iPod (at least for the competition).

^^^ Did you charge it up?


Put it in rice!

I charged it all night, and it still wouldn't turn on. I even tried turing the hold button on and off. Still wouldn't work

Put it in rice for overnight. If it's wet the rice takes the dampness all away.

It was never wet

yeah sure i guess

Ok, sweet, I will pack it right now

It is now ready to be shipped. I will go to the post office tomorrow and ship it

Ok sweet

actually it is safer sending to a po box cause they will know when it arrives and stuff and look after it and stuff. g2g

Going to deliver the packages now. :)

Lions, you should expect it in 5-7 business days. For ausie, 10-15 days

Ok sweer

Did you just call him a queer lol

Meant to say sweet not queer lol i typed it out to fast lol

Ok, ausie and lions_215, you two have to confirm to me that the packages got there. It may not be for a while so just be patient

Right cool

ok thanx heaps for sending them off. i will let you know as soon as it arrives. my friend has a spare ipod charger and they said i can have it. means i don't have to go buy one. i probs will soon though. and also it will come in just before i go on holidays, great. thanx dude.
