The weekend is here...
I challenge each and every one of you to shut the TV off, (or drag your building stuff in front of it), log off the computer, stay home and up a little later, and find a few hours to build this weekend.
What do you have to work on, and what would you like to have done by Monday?
Me - I'm going to finish my Allison engine, build a Hemi, finish chopping a top and get a chassis mocked up with said Hemi.
Post what YOU would like to get done, and we'll check in on Monday and see how it went.
No excuses, Build on....

A TJ has enough room for 3 hemis. It will be OK Brandon you can do a multi engine next time. ;D ;D I've got 3.5 projects going well. If I am not over run with kids soccer games I plan on getting quite a bit done. I'll do my best to meet the challenge.

Wow that’s a BIG challenge
But a good motivator.
Hummm I have a long list of stuff I could work and a few that could get finished.
Black widow, Blue Beetle, Rattler are at the top of the list here.
I will take that challenge Brandon.

Primer the body. Put color on the chassis. Make some interior details. If all goes well, I should painting the body by next week.
Who makes a really deep and bright candy blue?
Flounder.

Well... What didja get done?
I have my top chopped (plastic roughed out, no final finish yet), the Hemi built, wheels and tires squared away, and the chassis semi-mocked up. I didn't have a chance to mess with the Allison... overall I'm pretty happy with the results.
How did YOU do?

well I managed to get my contest build in primer, chassis done, engine done now waiting on primer to gas out then one final wetsand before paint... Also got a little herbie disassembled and stripped .. Casted are pair of tail lights for it so that in a holding pattern until after the contest... Between all that I managed to shoot a little paint on a rebuild Thunder Bug .. All it lacks is a pair of headlights which were missing when I acquired it......

Body did make it to primer. Chassis in primer, not paint. Need more time to correct kit based alignment issues. Grrrrr. Block and sittin' place has color. Still need to work on the interior bits.

I officiated at a roller derby game on Saturday and judged a model contest on Sunday. No model building was performed at my house, but I scored a couple of neat things at the swap.

One body in primer, another body finished with a little detail paint to do yet. Chassis finished on one and almost finished the second one, but I had to make some changes. I did get a good bit accomplished. My boys soccer didn't go so well. Team went out in the first round.

Sorry to hear of the soccer upset, LOL... but that reminds me of the McDonalds/olympic commercial... "we came here today with one goal... unfortunately that's what we are leaving with... one goal." I'm glad to see folks making some progress. I know these contests are easy to intend to participate in, and even with a four month deadline, finding hours here and there can be hard... |
