Vote for the next Ben Heck - voting closes tomorrow!

[stigzler]

Ben Heck does lots of cool mods/builds around retro gaming and he's off (my guess is he got sick of Element 14 trying to own him).

He's throwing a competition to find his replacement, and I'd implore you to get your vote in. To save time, I found what I think is the most fantastic-ist and ask you to vote for this guy:

His work's amazing - detailed, creative and imaginative. OK - so he's also from the UK, but I promise you, that's not my bias!

Give him a vote.

That's right all you Londonite's, it's time to hack like heck and back one or your own!  

Is there a list of candidates?

nm, they're here!

"Londonite" !!??!?

How dare you sir - I challenge you to a duel.

I know how it looks, but honestly - skip through the others' builds and his comes out head and shoulders above them..

@hansolo77 should vote for him as he also did an awesome mini NES case

This guy's 'big reveal' bit is hilarious:

His heart was in the right place.  Not everyone is super concerned with aesthetics!  (Obviously)

Looks cool! However, his camera angle at the beginning displays his upper torso in a way that when he is talking he looks like he is tied to the chair!

[stigzler]

Ha! Good observation. Even better if you mute it - tempting to rip it and do a voice over skit "helllp... untie me form this chair"

I'll do that if he wins
