Comments for the Contest go here to keep the Entry Thread clean and organized.
PLEASE be kind to your fellow showrodders. Negativity is not condoned.
Everyone has worked very hard on their builds... This is a celebration, not a critique. If you choose to make "suggestions" on what YOU might have done, please do your best to present it in an encouraging manner.
This can be a touchy area for some when creativity is involved, so let's keep that in mind, and have some fun!

A great bunch of really cool builds so far!!! My only complaint ( you knew I'd have one right?) is the huge pictures some of you post, it just makes it hard to read, and see what is going on when you have to toggle back, and forth to take it all in.
With that said.....Jay, your Tijuana Tiki is fantastic!!! Hein, both great builds man!!! Badroad, Dave two outstanding builds, now we know where the drum set went!!! Denny, that three wheeled contraption is over the top, and I just love the VW bus thing!!! Rob, best Dragula ever!!! Chief, love the Taxi!!! Tory, another great build from you bud!!! Bert, who'd of thunk to chop the Infini-T? NICE Also like the Love shack!!! Steve-o, love the Count Chocula!!! Scott, to bad you didn't finish, but what a great start, maybe you should hide the aluminum next time... ;D Brandon, what a great concept, one engine? Oh, three blowers....just like you!!! Gearbuster, great T!!! Ironhead, love the builds, but you didn't follow directions..... ;D
More later!!!

Wow have never seen such a great bunch of models so far and there's way more to come! I just want to say that the trend for realism, like plug wires and fuel lines have knocked these show car beeyootees up a cupla notches!!! You guyz are great!!!

Good lord Brandon, you've been a busy boy!!! I was wondering if we would see some really awesome stuff from you, and you didn't disappoint one bit. The Rommel's build, and the dump truck are definitely far out, and your signature style.... ;D Cavan's panel is awesome as well. He will learn to hack & whack by the best!!!

Rob, great job with the Honda chopper!!! The front end and wheels and most of the trike parts that were on the rear were from an Evil Iron that I hacked up..

Good morning and congratulations to all of you who stepped up and entered! What an outstanding group of models and builders! I was amazed at the diverse variety of what was done for this contest! So many NEW idea's! I don't think I could pick just one that is a favorite. I looked at them twice yesterday, going back for more. It truly made me smile as I scrolled thru the entries!
I apologize for myself for not getting done. I just hit a roadblock with the Silhouette trailer truck build. It almost became "wall paste" a few times, so I boxed it up and put it away. I do have two things to post tonight or tomorrow. Time and weather have not been cooperative, and I got too involved with the commisioned work I have been taking in and lost too much time on my own builds.
I think this is one of the very best contests/shows ever on the site. Again, thanks to all of you! Your a great group of guys, and a true source of inspiration to not only myself but each other! Keep up the good work. Let's do it again soon!

WOW!!! FANTASTIC!!! I walk amongst GIANTS!!! Truly the finest modelers in the WORLD!!!By my count (28), we're a little short of 50% yet, so I sure hope there's a bunch more to come!!! What a gas this has been so far!!! Actually completing a project for the first time in 20 years, modelers from all over the planet, beautifully detailed & finished box stocks and imaginative customs, wild concepts in progress (keep going on those everybody!!!) and, for me, the Crowning Achievement, the completion of Dave's Rally Rod!!! It's that "Way Out Li'l C-Cab" that brought us all together and made an event like this possible. A HUGE THANK YOU to Rallymaster Dave!!! (Brandon & Tim as well!!!) Congratulations to all of my fellow Klowns too!!! They're all WINNERS!!! ;D ;D ;D Not a "second place" in the bunch!!! ;D ;D ;D There's still a couple of days, so the rest of the Krew needs to finish up & post!!! C'mon, I wanna see MORE!!!!! ;D ;D ;D "Paulie"

All I can say is Holy .... Some of the ideas you guys came up with, I've looked through a couple of times already and still have to go back to absorb these beauties. What I had was a few box stock TD creations all the same color scheme that sort of formed a set (I thought). What a great idea this was, no pressure just build, everything looks great at a whole bunch of levels. Gerry G
