Fall/Winter 2009
)
1st Place
Name: Kevin Rayner
He came, he saw, he conquered. In a unanimous decision, we award the 1st prize winner to Kevin Rayner, who was able to create this extremely realistic metroid in all its glory. Kevin's quality, creativity, and above all else, attention to detail make his entry far and above the best one we received. (click for video!) Congrats, Kevin!

2nd Place
Name: Jay Field
We award Jay Field our 2nd place winner with his excellent entry. He created not just one, but four different iterations of Metroid: the egg, baby, larva, and Zeta forms. Jay's entry won over our energy tanks by using a variety of materials and transforming a dinosaur toy into a Zeta. (it growls!) Congrats, Jay!

3rd Place
Name: Alvin Gordian
In 3rd place, the award goes to Alvin Gordian, (aka Etecoon on our forums) who created a very clean and high-quality metroid. We think he did a great job sculpting the nuclei on the inside as well as drawing the veins. The result is something he can be proud of that will look great sitting on his desk for years to come. Congrats to Alvin!
