This challenge reminded me of TMCC25, right down to not only having a futuristic theme, but also the exact same winner (amidst a low turnout of four entries each), as well as incredible levels of detail among the top two.
Well done @Riley - you’ve claimed your second TMCC win in three rounds! Your entry this time around reminded me of your winning submission for TMCC25. By the way, are either (or both) of your TMCC25/TMCC27 submissions built on the Bolide and/or 308-esque body sets, and if not, which one(s)? Anyway, I’m expecting you to come up with something that rivals TMCC26 for overall quality (which you hosted) if you choose to host TMCC28.
Also hats off to @the-chowi for bouncing back from failing to even reach the top five in the previous TMCC by clinching a strong runner-up finish, with an aggressive, maximalist design that provided a sharp contrast to the elegant, minimalist Zephorus. Looking at the shape of the glasshouse and A-pillar, the Ithil is built on one of the S7-esque body sets - but in what size? Is it the smaller version (2.45m wheelbase) or the larger one (2.73m wheelbase)? At any rate, I’m expecting it to be both mid-engined and AWD (with the latter being fitted for traction’s sake).
