Has made the USS EURISKO a banner!
TBCS was one off the forums I got my craving for scratch building from.
And with members like Crimson Sky, and Paul Capello and JDBNSN you cant wonder why
Take a look at these :
The Matrix Rebirth
Doom3 - Project Mars City
SkunkWorks - F117A
Thanks a million Jon !

Well the results are in!
The USS EURISKO has reached second place in the 2011 Coolermaster Casemod Contest!
Its a split second with the L3P D3SK and its more then I could have hoped for !
Its also a great day for the Dutch modding scene with 3 dutchmen reaching second place over the 2 categories!
Thanks to all who casted a vote and for the support !

Gratz mate!!!!
Thanks man , really more then I could have hoped for seeing the voting round but looking at the points from that round they seem to have a different method of calculating the stuff.Quote:

Ok, Here is the back from before - weekend update !
Some bad news :wallbash:
The servo array for the pylons is not going to be a part of this version of the EURISKO!
f*%cKI#G cr*p !!!
Yesterday I went or the last straw. I borrowed a friends pickup, loaded up the EURISKO and drove to a friend (very well versed in RC planes) to show him my troubles. After a couple of hours drawing, measuring and brainstorming we came to the conclusion that the initial design was the best and at the same time the only solution that would result in the pylons moving simultaniously and would fit within the very limited space available.
There is a space of 19x20x24 mm in which to place the servo's and create the fixation to transfer the force. It's just not enough.
The initial solution would work but the coolant in the tubing adds that much force that the small servo's wont cut it and I need bigger for which I dont have space. ARGHHHH !!!!
I have spent more than 50 hours working on this solution and its time I threw the tricorder in the ring.
(there is one solution left and that is to place a sping so the default action would be up and use bigger servo's that are connecte by a cable running through rings to the nacelles and that can be placed somewhere else in the ship. Sort of fly-by-wire type thing. This is not a big thing to install and can be done later)
Lets continue the Depron work
I did make life hard for myself with all them pretty round curves. Next time I will sculpt the foam more wisely so I wont have to bend every little piece with my wife's hairdryer.
Slowly but surely It's coming together now nicely. Then there's the next big challenge, painting !
HEART BROKEN !!!!
The USS EURISKO has been forced down to the bonus prize category by fans of the Sors Salutis build who posted complaints on the Coolermaster facebook page.
After a week of getting congratulations from all over the world, adjusting signatures and receiving articles from the (inter)national press I am now COMPLETELY DEVISTATED !!!!
Over 350 hours I have already committed to this build and I thought I was being rewarded for my unique vision and patience of an angel with the depron work as its often described and for my relentless pursuit of quality instead of prizes (eventhough they certainly would help !!!)
I got better results by the combined votes and by the coolermaster jury themselves.
But now it seems coolermaster have gone back on their earlier officially published results ...
Take a look for yourselves at the winners page of the Compo
And here for the posts about the about the rule nr 6 !
And here for the posts about excluding me from the contest sors salutis
I am not the sort of guy that cannot take it when someone else gets a prize nor am I someone who rats out other people just to make a point but I HAD TO REPLY to this.
Asphiax Casemod :
So I finally found what was up with the results on the coolermaster website. Thanks for letting me know in person guys, real professional! Is this the way to circumvent popular votes, by spamming a much more public facebook page? To be hone...st, the EURISKO has gotten a better endresult by getting more "unique and valid" votes and has received more points from the coolermaster jury exept the builds by boddaker and L3P. And again to be honest (boddaker you are my great inspiration you know that from way before the CM compo and L3P you just rock!!!) they both had to do work to finish it completely. The TRON Lightcycle was running of a seperate PSU but won, you dont hear anything about that. I am deeply , deeply disappointed that a few people can make such a big difference. It has truly broken my spirit that fellow moders cannot allow a clear cut win (by 5x amount of votes and COOLERMASTER jury results) to become part of the modding legacy. You should be very ashamed.
Thansk you all for the support but there will be no more updates on the USS EURISKO for the time being ...

What did the fans of the Sors Salutis build who posted complaints on the Coolermaster facebook page say to cause such a turnaround, I can't believe that AnG3L the builder of Sors Salutis would have had anything to do with it!
For Coolermaster to do such a thing is truly abysmal and goes against the spirit of the whole competition which is decided on votes, the competition is pointless if coolmaster ignore the votes and override the voting :mad:
Can someone please copy and paste what was said on facebook by the Sors Salutis fans as I am not on it and cannot access the link.
