THE SCORES:

810 Epsil Ion
810 Tinsley Tr'uhart
696 Brun Hilda
565 Hopelle Losstoam
531 Stephen Fairbrook

Congratulations to both Epsil and Tinsley! Those numbers were really close!

I want to take a moment to explain how those numbers were generated:

The total amount of votes I tallied was 1482 - that's summing up all of the scoring with 1st place getting 12 points, 2nd place getting 11 and so on. In order to reach the desired 25/75 public/vote split, I multiplied all the judge scores by a factor of 14. This resulted in a total of 4368 points from judges - which was 74.6% of the total 5850 points. Bumping up the numbers for judges, combined with how many models we have is why those numbers are so high. As we lose models the total number of points will drop, so don't expect to see numbers that high after the next round!
