This is gonna be a great contest! Can’t wait to see all the mad entries that our members will create!

:p:p:p:p

ph2t.

[barto_85]

wow, great prizes, can’t wait to see all the cars.

[ph2t]

You know, when micro and I were putting the first prize together we were hesitant in letting it go , we wanted to keep it for ourselves….

ph2t.

[DaveF]

The XaNaVi is a greta looking car too. Awesome. This should bring the hot modders out of the woodworks.

[z-beam]

can i enter a bit that i did up previously?

[ph2t]

Yeah sure Z, there’s never been another comp previously @ ausmicro, so there’s no precedent there to worry about…..

Aaron, please correct me if I’m wrong otherwise :).

[BilboFOL]

Is it only for BCG’s and Clones or can ZipZaps be entered.

When does it end?

[ph2t]

Bilbo, the comp is for micro scale cars, so I believe ZZ’s should be OK. For all other info check HERE.

UPDATE: Just read the bottom of Aaron’s post at the top of this thread, so it might only be for TOMY Bcg or Clone Bcg, dunno. Aaron could you please confirm?

Yes, you can enter cars that have been entered in other contests. However in your post do not identify the car as “this is the winner of XX contest” Just present the facts about the car.

All Micro cars are welcome, be they Clones, ZZs Tomy indeed anthing – even Digi Q is welcoem!

I’ll edit the top post to reinforce that 😉

I can’t see the accord at the moment, but the WRX looks nice. How did you do all the yellow detailing on the side? are they decals or painted on?

Yeah sorry – I’m in heavy snow at the moment in the “snowed under stakes”.

Everything takes about 3 times longer than normal to address.

Main ausmicro.com PC is down with dead motherboard, I’m car-less and apparently still have to go to work each day… *grumbles*

Also want to make sure it’s all ‘right’ before it goes up 😉

lol I understand now… i was juss confused by your post in the other thread:p:smiley2:

[DaveF]

Yeah, I’m a drummer, so I tend to get confused easy. =o)

Yagbols and PH2t – nice work in the Entries discussion guys!

[leonli17]

i forgot when will the COmpetition end?

[yagbols]

Thanks dave, I’ll try to come up with something soon…

[DaveF]

Yagbol, where did you get the PCB cover used in the green ute/truck? Or the one with the seats on it in the convertible. I’ve been wanting seats visible through the window for ages.

Oh, and good use of the background. Nice to see it working for people. Hope you’re happy with the results.

[ph2t]

Cabo, that is one insane R-34, I just love that green! So shiny! And those rims are just killa, can’t wait to get my sets from EZ.

I gotta say that I just love the pullback skyline models, they’re just so spanky!

ph2t.

[yagbols]

Dave, i take off the old pcb cover, and use discarded cellphone pre-paid cards/thin credit cards to replace it. That would be the base for the seats. Then i scour the hotwheels section of the mall for potential bodyparts.:evil:LOL

Oh, I dig the background:D could you do one that looks like a street in downtown? with a 7-11 in the background or somfin, maybe the store’s sign is the ausmicro logo or something like that. LOL Would be cool for non-race car mods…:smiley2: but thats just a suggestion:smiley2:

hope this helps!:)

That’s a great sugesstion, I like it!

[DaveF]

Yagbols – Good background idea. I’ll try and play with that in the next day or so.

Thanks for the idea about the PCB cover.

CaboWabo – How’d you get that paint job so smooth!?? That’s looks excellent.

[ph2t]

Well look at DarkTari’s R34, very nice indeed.

Hmmmmm R34’s seem to be the flavour of the month, might have to enter mine as well……

ph2t.

[CaboWabo]

hey thanks “mates” (I’m getting the hang of this thing lol)

the smooveness is from sanding, thin layers of paint and a nice clear coat
that and I’m a pimp lol

[DaveF]

YagBols – Your an Art director. No wonder your stuff looks hot. Great attention to details. Send me your Email address and I’ll send you an alternative background or two (my machine has truble with java stuff at the moment, if they open a new window, so I can’t use the link form your profile). I’ll send them to Aaron too, so if he wants to use them here, he can.

[yagbols]

Thanks dave.:D That was fast! cant wait to see what you came up with!:) I’ll PM to you my addy.

Hey Nox, finally got that project finished! it really turned out well:D

Edited by – yagbols on 11 September 2003 10:40:10

[DaveF]

Tried to email you, but it bounced. I’ve PMd you my email address. Send me one, and I’ll reply with the attachments.

I’ve already forwarded 2 on to Aaron. You’ll receive the same ones.

If everyone else wants to get a copy of them once you see them in action, you’ll have to wait for Aaron to make them available on the site (As I’m handing them over freely for AusMicro site use.).

[yagbols]

I’ve sent you email already, sorry bout that my mailbox was full.:shock:

[DaveF]

Nox – nice work. Where’d you source the original body? A bloke I’m in a band with loves the old hot rod style cars, and I’d love to try and get another person into BCGs round here.

Yagbol – I haven’t received anything from you yet. mefurillo@hotmail.com

[barto_85]

I think the body is longer than BCG, but can probably be modified to fit a BCG, see if this helps.
Here’s the topic from over at bitpimps:http://www.bitpimps.lixlink.com/pages/phpForum/viewtopic.php?t=1039&highlight=noxs+ford+flames

[DaveF]

I think I got one through to you Yagbols. As you can see, the idea’s there, but my PSPro skills are underdeveloped.

I’ve got plans for a showroom floor styled one, but need an photo of someone looking straight of ne onto the street.

[yagbols]

Ya i got it, that’s really cool dave, really like the gas pumps:D

[Aaron]

New Backgrounds will be up on Monday – I have got them from DaveF and just need to put them online and add the links etc.

DarkTari:
It seems that the painting style on your R34 and EVOne is very similar.

THey look awesome.

one question: how did u make the lights on the Evone look so real?

[DaveF]

Thanks Aaron. I assume you liked them then. =o)

I’ve had another idea for a showroom one. make it look like a car show as apposed to a car sales room. I’ll try and get time to play with it later today.

I’m not too sure about the gas pumps. it’s a nice shot, but I’m concerned the scale will look wrong with a BCG. perhaps if you get right down low to take the shot???

[DaveF]

Where about’s are you putting/have you put them Aaron?

[brendan]

so were is this new back ground u have been telling us about

[DaveF]

I’ve sent them to Aaron. When the poor bugger gets a chance he’ll put them up on the site for all to see/use.

[Aaron]

Yup they’re up TODAY!

There’s a great range building up and they’re all looking sharp!

I was abot to add that. =o) Except it doesn’t seem to work yet. Perhaps if I give it 5 minutes it will.

In the mean time one of the last images in my members galley is of the petrol pumps.

Hey guys, another BitPimp representin’ over here. I’ll be postin’ my entries shortly.

Hey ph2t, look I came to visit your hood.:D

[DaveF]

Backgrounds page seems to be working now. Good job Aaron.

[ph2t]

Thanks for poppin’ in Dave, hope you hang around….. :approve:

[DaveF]

You’re most welcome. =o)

[ph2t]

You idiot…. :approve:

Btw, the backgrounds are lookin’ mighty fine!

ph2t.

[crazydave]

@ph2t, Hey thanks for inviting the pimps over. I’ll be around, need to pick some of that cool Aussie slang that C-dub seems to be picking up :smiley2:

Nice idea with the backgrounds. I’ve always posted my cars with backgrounds. So you’ve saved me the trouble of making them.

You make those DaveF?

[DaveF]

Yup. I made them. They’re not as slick looking as I’d like, but I always told I am over critical of the work I do. I’d like to see the backgrounds you’ve done for your bits CrazyDave. Must be a Dave thing. =o)

[Aaron]

Yeah – my bad – For some reason the page itself only published 20 minutes after I sent the files up the server….

DaveF is quite modest, his handiwork can be seen through the site in the form of the comp backgrounds and most of the avatars we have. I’ll be updating to his new 64×64 avatars in the next few days!

Welcome aboard CrazyDave and all you other Pimps who’ve made the trek, I like yer style and hope you hang around long after the comps are been and gone!

Hello Crazy Dave.

With Cabo, You and DarkTari entering the contest this little hobbit will have to work harder. And you know how Hobbits prefer eating to working.

Yes it is Bilbo from BitPimps, TinyRC and RCmod.

[DaveF]

Nice work Crazy. I like the car in the 1st one, and the sunset in the last one. you could make them look like they’re parked on the road neat a beach very easily.

[crazydave]

Hey Bilbo, how’s it going.

Thanks DaveF. Funny you mention the beach, I just did that last week.
http://members.cox.net/crazylittlecars/surfsup1.jpg

[barto_85]

just saw you entered your beetle crazydave, I’ve seen it over at bitpimps, but it gets better each time i see it, great car.

[crazydave]

Thanks Barto. Maybe it looks better because I slapped another coat of clear on it.:smiley2:

[DaveF]

The beetle looks excellent. Nice detail with the surf board too.

[M_Coupe]

Working hard on a new project, and I’ll be entering some of mine from the RC Mod contest. Just need to take some new pics.

My current project is a S2000 Coupe with ground effects, and a Heat Extractor in the hood. (I guess technically it’s functional, but don’t know what kind of heat it’ll be extracting :p

[ph2t]

Some nice entries there DarkTari, gotta love the transformation on the clone you got there. :p

ph2t.

[DaveF]

Nearly the end of the month. Where’s that Camo dB? Surel’y there’s more moded bits out there people can enter? Where are the Aussies???

[ph2t]

I know, bloody slack-arses! Where’s your entry Dave?:question:

ph2t.

[crazydave]

Yep it’s getting about that time.

I’m hopin’ to see some killer last minute entries.

[DaveF]

I’m crap at that sort of thing. My model planes as a kid always used to look like they’d been shot down. I’ve got a good eye for detail, but hands for muntedness.

I might put in a car (It’ll be a lame effort I’m afraid), just so I can play with the digital camera some more. =o)

[barto_85]

damn yagbols, another great car, featuring another interesting character. Great work on the beetle mate, looks great.

[yagbols]

Thanks Barto, so far this is my favorite car. thank goodness the rims came in just in time. Im working on another car, but cant decide what to make of it yet.:smiley2: Maybe in another 2 weeks.:blush:

[RacerX]

I’m working on my entry right now I looks like it drove off a cliff the body is messed up.

[ph2t]

Voodoo, I gotta say man that the truck is awesome! :p

Those “hero” rims are definately original that’s for sure…

Can someone Tell maza that he needs to use the Ausmicro picture hosting so everyone can see his pics. Also tell him that this is the thread for entry discussions, not the entries thread!

ph2t.

[Impreza]

Sry prbly late on this one but nice work on the background art Dave, top notch job.

[DaveF]

Never to late to thank me. =o)

I must admit I haven’t looked in there since I sent more stuff to Aaron. I’ll go and check it out again now.

[maza]

hey at th start of this topic where it says tgat aus micro can host your pics for you i did that and it d9idnt work:sad:so could somone tell me how to then:)

[barto_85]

i’m sure ph2t will explain when he is on next :smiley2:

one question: how did u make the lights on the Evone look so real?

The headlights are stock, didn’t do anything to them. The rest of the lights are just my normal detailing, nothing special…

[Impreza]

Nice work DarkTari, I just want to know if your golden rod is wired for sound? Now that would be cool:)

[DaveF]

[TO HOST IMAGES OF YOUR CARS…

I wish more Aussies were enterring. And don’t look at me, I was involved in getting this off the ground, so I don’t think I should enter.

[ph2t]

Awww, c’mon dude, at least enter the supra with a decal on it at least, lol….

ph2t.

[DaveF]

I call it “munted wreckage”. hahahahaa

[ms char-ged]

i would enter something but i don’t have a digital camera, all i can do is scan the body, and that doesn’t look very nice :dead:

[ms char-ged]

OMG that mint condition beetle is tha bomb, DarkTari may i ask where you obtain all these beetle shells from? Farken hell, if i was the judge, you would win by a mile, no offense to all the other entrys. I also hate beetles, so it’s pretty remarkable that your bits have caught my eye. Aaron, i reckon some of us on this forum should have a say on the voting. Anyway guys, keep those entrys coming, and goodluck to you all!

[Impreza]

ms char-ged, take a pic with a camera (film kind) and get your local office supply store to scan it to disc. I had to do this a bit b4 I got digital. Really shouldn’t cost too much if you bring them the media (ie zip disk, floppy or cd). Transfer it to your computer and presto:) Where there is a will there is a way.

[DaveF]

I like the glints that have been photoshopped into the images on DarkTaris work. Nice touch to the image..

[trash]

You can also find cheapo 640 x 480 type digital cameras getting around like the ones jaycar sell.
Even a web cam can be used to capture a picture and most internet cafes have those these days.

[ms char-ged]

never buy one of those cheap a$$ digital cameras, my sister bought one and i couldn’t remove it from the usb port, what i mean in computer terms is it couldn’t be uninstalled, and its software took up the usb, i only have two ports so that was a big problem, i had to reformat my computer 5 times to get rid of it

[DaveF]

nice work with the lights Ph2t. Good use of the backgrounds too.

[VooDooMafia]

Well since RCpics.net stoped remote linking I have changed the entry pics to ausmicro. If you need more pics of the cars just ask and I will upload them 🙂

ms char-ged I think it was more then the softwear that came with the camera.

Cavey,

That car is off Da Hook! 68 Mazda? never heard of it, looks extremely like an Alfa Romeo Spyder.
Is it a die cast?

Great Job! You definately have a style of your own Pimp.

Nah man, that’s just the body that came on the MAT car. Some japanese action hero I guess, I don’t know, I just know I reconized the car to be a ’68 Mazda Cosmo. The car that put Japan on the map, and introduced the world to the first mass produced Wankel engine. (guess we have to say rotary here.:smiley2:)

Here’s the real deal;

when will the results of the show us yer bits comp gonna be posted.

[DaveF]

unfortunately there has been some delays (The judges are all busy with more urgent problems in their real life), but we’re all planning on getting something in to Aaron this week.

[Aaron]

Yes – unfortunately we are late in Judging things, Please bear with us – when we started the competition we had no idea we would generate some many entries and giving each entry a fair score (we judge on a 100 point scale) is very very time consuming!

A quick overview of the Judging is:
100 Points available for each entry.
Roughly 18 criteria judged at 5 points each
Remainder are 10 points each
A stock car would achieve 50% on all technical and appearnace judging.
Your posts and pics do have a small score attached to them, but we have plenty of latitude towards how the pics look because of cameras etc. We are looking for pics that show you were trying to to show us something….

Anyway please watch this space!

Well its always easyer to enter a car then it would be to judge all the cars so if it takes longer then normal I can see why. 🙂

I like the glints that have been photoshopped into the images on DarkTaris work. Nice touch to the image..

Dave,
Thanx for the cudos but these shot are not photoshopped, the bling you see is the bling that was. All my pics were taken outdoors at around 11:00am so the sun is just behind High Noon which puts it in the right place along with turning the car. Gotta go for as much BLING as I can Pimp!

the suspense is killing me.

it has been 3 weeks now.

[Aaron]

I know – I have just finished up my judging and am waiting on our two fellow Judges to return their scores to me.

Sadly the delay is due to the 100 point criteria we laid down for judging. It’s probably the most thorough process we could have and will return a winner than has done something unique and exciting.

I’m blown away by the entries, the quality and the detial in them are exception. The sheer uniqueness of others make them magic.
