I have never miss a Weekly Challenge....so here I am.... by the way the link to the fossil thing does not open in my computer....

[JimG]

Just so I am clear on what the challenge is...we are to design a watch is that right?

JimG

[Seasalt]

no it's to design the tin the watch comes in.

[JimG]

Drats!! I was hoping to do a watch...so much for the start of my project.

Here is what I had done while watching television last night. Keep in mind this is a first draft of this particulat work...I know it has a long way to go.

Nice ones so far. So, is anyone going to actually enter? Still trying to find the time myself but if I do I think I'll enter the contest at Fossil too. :)

[Seasalt]

yes I am working on mine as well, they actually extended the deadline to October 5, I believe..:cheers

[cfire]

Cool, I look forward to seeing it. :)

I hope I find time to do one, I noticed the extension and that should make it feasable for me. :)

Very nice PLisKeN! Did you enter over there? I still haven't found the time to put one together but I'm still going to try. :)

[PLisKeN]

Thanks Frank!

No I can't submit my entry on the fossil's challenge website, because I'm not a US resident.
But it's cool to play with you all guys!
I have been off the forum for a long time because of the job, but like I say it's always a cool place to be!

[cfire]

That's too bad PLisKeN!

Greg, if you decide to enter, make sure you download the template from them first. :)

Plisken,
Fantastic rendering..my hat is off to you and I am inspired to improve my skills. Can't say enough about what a great work you have done with the tin. Front to back top to bottom, stunning realism.

[PLisKeN]

Thanks JimG!

In fact it's not so hard to do. And I spend 4 or 5 hours on this kind of pic.

cool challenge, great entries! Plisken, that's awesome. What a pity the contest is for US residents only. With only three days until deadline, I have no way of joining in, but I'm looking forward to seeing what else you guys come up with! :cheers
