So, there we have it guys and girls. I had to utilise another judge, as I haven't heard anything from Winterstrike.

Sticking with my decision of one prize per winner, the following people will be recipients:

Calico, boosted6, Kat, bakabill, DK, holdentem, GirlyGamer, Dietzie, NachoTaco, False.

I'll also be giving a prize to 2 blaster's that I personally liked, that didn't receive a 1st place:
Rocafix LongShot and Emeutier IPAI LongShot.

I will pick numbers/names out of a hat to decide prizes, and hopefully get them in the mail by the end of the week.

Cheers,

What do the numbers mean after the prize winner's names?

Points allocated. Each judge was able to nominate a 1st place (2 points) and 2nd place (1 point)

Cheers,

Congrats to all who entered and a big thanks to all who organized/judged, would have been a tough one as there were allot of awesome entries.

Hi Clunk and co.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for not only being so welcoming here at OzNerf since I joined a couple of months ago, but now also awarding me with a prize for my paintjob... really appreciate it and it's really encouraging to me.

I've been working on new cosmetic mods recently and have had some great hints and tips from the guys here who have answered any little questions I have had (filling drill holes, weights etc).

Thanks again for not assuming "she's female why is she into modding". I get that in gaming from time to time and it is irritating beyond belief.

Thanks!

2nd place for Best Overall Blaster? You're damn right I'm happy with that!

Thanks again to Clunk and all the other judges. good fun for all involved I hope.

Congratulations to all the winners!

There sure were some amazing mods that had been entered.

Thanks Clunk for also throwing me a prize too, I appreciate all your hard work!

@girlygamer
I'm so impressed at the quality of your cosmetic mods, both posted here and on your site. You sure got some skill!

Grats to the winners!

'Tis very nice to be recognised and come second in not one, but TWO categories

Thanks for organizing this competition Clunk & Co.

Well done to all the entrants, and congratulations to the winners! I've been fortunate enough to witness several of the entries in action, particularly Kat's 4Bcon, and they truly are excellent mods!

Thanks again to clunk, I can't wait for the next competition, bring it on!

Great job to everyone who entered and congratulations to the winners of the various divsions!

I must say this is THE best community event I've seen in my last 2years of being this sport/hobby (call it what you will) - it got everyone involved and really gave a huge injection of enthusiasm to the aussie nerf community.

Huge thanks to Clunk for running the comp and being so generous as to provide so many prizes for the entries !!!
It really does show his dedication to the community and promoting the growth of this somewhat niche hobby and this is awesome.



I hope there are more events like this in future as I know for a fact that some people didn't participate in this event due to work/study commitments and would have loved to enter if they had time (ie. during uni break) - we are also getting a constant flow of new members (taken from observations on AustralianNerf at least) so I'm sure others would love another chance to partake in something like this!
- perhaps with state prize donations? I'd donate something to the comp for sure - this way we can have prize pickups at war meets as an alternative to postage - this will help take some of the burden off people like Clunk!

PS: I will be extremely grateful for whatever I receive even if it's just an envelope of darts (as all I have at home are a few dozen streamlines - I love Echoes' NSW darthire!!)

Thanks everyone, it seems that I have achieved what I set out to do, which is pretty rewarding.

I'm looking at running some more comp's in the future, with specific categories of blaster's, so the postage won't kill me with prizes... haha.

Cheers,

Thanks Clunk for this competition. I think it really shows what the Australian modding community has to offer.

@Girlygamer. Lol, meh I dont' see why 'cosmetic' work should be looked down upon just because your a girl. It's art? The Mav2D2 was probably my favourite maverick cosmetic out there. If you somehow put LEDs in the eyes. I would of been so crazy. Looked like it was bought out of the shops =).

Dietzie and his 4way RSCB Titan LOL. So good.

That's all I can remember besides the Dual Tommy 20 and Dual Stampedes lol.

@Lilbro - Aww thanks mate, appreciate that. I bought two Mavericks today with plans for more R2D2 love (think I'll try a red unit). As for LED's, I am just learning this atm, so you never know! I modded a toy (to tie-in with a new gun I'm working on) and managed to add three LEDs and hook it up to the power no problem, also added an LED to a Proton. As it gets easier I'd be interested in adding them to other mods They don't really serve a purpose, but they add a bit of swish.

Woohoo, I won something for the first time in almost ten years lol.
I have to say the was some wild blasters in there and the cosmetic jobs are something I could never hope to acheave but would love to own. Well done to all who entered and I am looking forward to what comes out for the next comp now that there was been some new ideas thrown around, my drawing pad is already out

Thanks man you're the best!

Firstly a very big thanks to Clunk and OzNerf!

Secondly to be recognised for something i do for fun and get a kick out of is awesome! Especially since i wasnt prepared for a comp and have only been modding blasters for the past 5 or so months.

All up yay!


Cheers,
Combust

5months? You've got all the experience you need! Venture into something new and BAM, you might find something unexpected.

I'm glad everyone supports the verdict made by the judges. I must say some of the categories there were difficult to discern the top from the rest, because they were all great. But the classy ones shone above the rest. For example I knew girlygamer's Mav was a winner when she posted it. It needed some topping to do that no one could achieve

Holy crap, i got best springer, and tied second for best overall, thats awesome, cheers guys!

Thank you judges. I thought i had no chance with hardly any replies lol.

Well done Calico.

Well done, everybody who entered.

This was a great community event and hopefully something similar is put together sometime.

1st in the Best Newb modification, I think that's pretty good
Thanks Clunk and co

Those were some pretty awesome blasters entered, I didn't think I would get a position, Let alone 1st in a category.
Thanks a heap (:

Cheers
- Holdentem

Cheers,

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!! BEST OVER ALL SWEEEEEEEET!!!!!
thanks guys, wow, im so stoked!!!So much nice work here, big thanks to all who entered.

Yeah Calico, you rock bro, well done.

We killed it mate. He he he.

Lucky for us, Sadavi is on the other side of the planet!!


Love your blaster SADAVI!!!!! I very much feel like sending you one of my blasters for a paint job!!!!


Calico-Were the same ago bro, sweet!

HA we are too! Im looking forward to unveiling my newest gun, but its a secret...but thats off topic. lol

Cant wait mate. Rock on.

I am highly jealous of your air brushing tho....

Seriously? Thanks mate, not bad for a newbie airbrusher i suppose, he he.

Well its only going to get better from here on in. The airbrush paints you can get are wicked.

I want to do a Gears Of War themed gun next time...love that game. Will have the big gears skull right over it...double barrel TS or something like that...

A quick update. Prizes will be posted out towards the end of next week. Work's pretty busy at the moment, and I'm waiting on some freight quotes from a couple of courier's. I'd prefer to be using Australia Post as a last resort, after they've managed to lose over $1000 worth of blaster's for me this week...

Cheers,

How does that even happen?

(On a side note: Hit 100th post after 19 months of being on Oznerf...)

Congrats to all who won and entered. The effort made by all to make this event a success was outstanding. I believe this competition has drawn the community together and created a positive energy like nothing before.

Thanks Clunk.

Well said Lefty.

I second that, was a great idea from Clunk.

CONGRATS TO YOU ALL

Yeh mate, I have no idea. I had insurance, so I'll get my money back. But, unfortunately, there were some rare blaster's in the package that I doubt I'll find again easily enough...

Some guy from AusPost is probably sitting around drinking beers with his new Nerf Crossbow, SM5K and a couple of other gems.... haha

Lefty, thanks again for your help mate.

Cheers,
