Special Awards

Best Use of Detail (Judge: Larry Pieniazek)

Discussion: This was a challenging special award to judge. There are a LARGE number of very good entries. My criteria was not who had the MOST (and some entries were overwhelming in this regard, like the WTO/McDonald’s riot, Sean’s Empire State Building, and others) but who had the BEST.

The following entries all deserve special mention as having done exceptionally well at detail. (they are in alphabetical order).

A007 Lego-City at Xmas 2000 Heiner Berg (Krefeld, Germany)
A012 Bricktannia Dave Amos
B001 Main Street Eric Kingsley
B009 Main Street Chris Tracey
C001 LCFD HeadQuarters Building Eric S. McDonald
C004 St. Legosburg Station 1 (Yellow) Robin Werner
C007 Office Building under construction with motorized crane Kevin Loch
C024 Bayles Corporate Center Sean Kenney
C025 The Empire State Building Sean Kenney
D028 Red Barn Thomas Main
L003 Seaborn Brick Erin Windross

I also want to give a special mention to:

E030 Classic Shell Station Tony Hafner - not because it had a LOT of detail, but because it creatively used details available from the 70’s and nothing newer.

But my award, after much agonizing, goes to:

E024-B Ms. Oli’s Italian Restaurant Mark Chan

Some of the neat details included the kitchen close up with raw pizza dough, the wine rack, the various drink machines and the outside chef with ice cream under glass just to mention a few neat touches. The detail in this model was coherent and it really evoked a small Italian restaurant. One I’d want to eat at, because everyone was having a great time.

Cleverest Use of an Element (Judge: Frank Filz)

1st place: C029 Train station building of my home town Braunschweig (Reinhard “Ben” Beneke)
for the use of SNOT Macaroni bricks to form an arched window.

2nd place: C016 Natural History Museum (Brad Hamilton)
for the use of the trans purple Belville trellis piece in the skylight.

3rd place: C022 Minifig Museum of Weaponry (Adrian Drake)
for the use of the 2x4x2 windshields in the huge pyramid shaped glass atrium.

Most Humorous (Judge: Shiri Dori)

Winner: A001 - Andreas Stabno’s “Plasticity”
1st runner up: H012 - Sheree Rosencrantz’s “When Pigs Fly”
2nd runner up: G016 - Joris Lambrecht’s “Banana Mobile”
