The Popsicle Plane
Posted by Brian Ashcraft at 4:00 PM on April 16, 2008
The Ace Combat 6 contest continues! Reader Jason sends along his entry. Here, look at it. He writes:
Here's my plane! It's made out of popsicle sticks! I included a nickel for scale! Cuz it's tiny! Exclamation Point!To bring everyone up to speed: Dress up as an aeroplane OR make a three dimensional aeroplane out of anything tangible, but paper. So you can't make CGI planes! And you can't draw them either! But, you can make them out of anything else as long as it's not paper. Rocks, clay, toothpicks, whatever! And remember, that means make and not build a plastic plane model you bought in the store. Send entries to kotakucontestATgmailDOTcom by this Friday at midnight PST and, like all contests, don't forget to add a "Kotaku" sign. Remember, we're giving away two copies of Ace Comabt 6 and INTERNET FAME. One copy for the best plane cosplay, the other for the best crafted plane. In short, two separate contests.

The Exclamation mark is the best thing to happen to the English language since the period.

I wish I wasnt poor, that way I could afford a new fangled digital camera I can hook up to my computer tv and send through the phone lines. Until then I am stuck with my 35mm kodak disposable. In which I still have 20 shots left because I am too cheap and poor to afford, not only a second disposable camera, but to even get this one developed.

Decent plane, although I wonder what kind of Popsicle has a stick like that! None that I've ever had.
@Erwin: Great band!

Kotaku should include the addendum:
- AND the plane MUST fly.
Yeah, that includes kids with plane costumes.

@shazmuscle: Except that it technically doesn't exist... You mean the Exclamation Point. Jason got it right, you... not so much!
