survey Picture versus Video Reviews
Galaktek replied to Bonaparte's topic in Forum Information and Help
With all due respect to the fine people who put so much effort into video reviews like the one shown here, I still vastly prefer photos and text. Listening to someone talk always takes longer that reading, and photos are easier to view than trying to pause a video to see something. Also, there's no practical way to "skim" a video review if I'm in a hurry. -

Construct-o-Turtle When Toby Turtle heads to the construction site, he likes to make sure those pesky minifigs know who's boss. More photos Construct-o-Turtle by Galaktek, on Flickr

Box Turtle A distant relative of today's box turtles, the true Box Turtle was obviously doomed from its first contact with humans in the 17th century. Just a few have survived in the wild, relying on their ability to escape from their shell. More photos Box Turtle by Galaktek, on Flickr

Turtlebot Just a little 20-part turtle in the spirit of Peter Reid's classic. More photos Turtlebot by Galaktek, on Flickr

Matchbox Turtle The rare Matchbox Turtle faced extinction in the era of safety matches, but populations have gradually recovered since the invention of the Zippo lighter. More photos Matchbox Turtle by Galaktek, on Flickr

Thanks to everyone who entered! 4:2 30:2 38:2 -
Thank you for a great contest! There were so many wonderful entries. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with next year!
-
Thank you all for your comments and votes! I'm very excited that this MOC placed in the contest. Congratulations to the other winners and to everyone who participated -- there were so many wonderful ideas and builds.

May one vote for one's own entry? My apologies if this is a dumb question; I'm not too familiar with voting-based contests. I remember it being prohibited in the first Eurobricks contest I entered, but I didn't notice it stated this time. Thanks!

That's lovely, every atmospheric -- it takes me right back to winter holidays past ...

Thank you all for your kind comments! I'm glad you enjoyed looking at it as much as I enjoyed building it. It's funny, I wasn't thinking about reproducing Lego vehicles when I built it, but I can see what y'all mean -- I guess I've seen the Lego sets so often that if I build a micro truck or train, it comes out in those colors :) TheLegoDr, I do hope it will work for the contest, since it's four 8x8 modules, plus minifigs. But either way it was fun to make.

The local train LUG's layout is always a big hit at the Winter Village! Winter Village Train Layout by Galaktek, on Flickr Kids can play with the crane in the busy freight yard ...
