Alright... let's see if we can do this again.
2011 Fools For TD - Tom Daniel Tribute Contest.
Contest, open to whoever wants to participate. Tom Daniel theme for this year. Must use a Tom Daniel kit as the base. Two classes keep things super simple:
1. Box Stock. You can do simple stuff like switch wheels and tires, paint colors, decals.. minor detailing if you'd like. But you get the idea.
2. Open Kitbash. Must use a TD kit as the base, but anything goes. Create your own show rod using TD's kits as a leaping point.
We will officially begin January 1st. You can start building now, and you can dig up a stalled project.
Deadline will be April Fools Day, April 1st of 2011. No deadline extensions. We will do the two thread online entry like in the past. One to post pictures and one to discuss. I think Timbo and I will hammer out the voting. He's real good with that stuff.
Any questions post them here, and have fun!
Edit and an update:
Tom Daniel himself will be doing a bit of judging for us with a "TD's Pick" of his favorite entry!

This sounds great. A 75th TD tribute build off.
Thanks to all those that helped to get this off the ground.

I'm pretty stoked... I just dug through all my stuff and hit pay dirt with one brain fart... and got two kits stacked together for blending that will be crazy if I can pull it off....
It's kind of neat to dig through everything and limit it to a TD kit. I have other stuff I'm working on, or ear marked, but this was a breath of fresh air... I am excited.

I'm in!!
This is going to be exciting!
I was looking for motivation to do a TD build, and here it is.
I would like to do a box stock (the question is, with all the recent re-releases which one?), and I also have a possible bubbletop bash floating around in my empty head.
Hopefully I can pull off both.

Here's a little update in the contest.
Tom Daniel himself will be doing a bit of judging for us with a "TD's Pick" of his favorite entry!
How about that for a little incentive to enter?!!
Get out the glue and get busy!

So I have a question, would the 1/25th scale Mean Maverick I am currently working on qualify? It really isn't a TD kit per say, but is based on one of his designs.  Just wondering... |

1st.
I hope all you "RALLY RATZ" (and families) have a WONDERFUL, MERRY, HAPPY and FANTASTIC CHRISTMAS and HOLIDAY SEASON!
Also...a HEALTHY, SAFE, SOUND and PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!
Tim Nolan has redialed me back into the Rally.... been away for a long time! Thanks, Tim!
Finky Tim also clued me in about the 'new' contest. Looking forward to see what you all come up with; and to add a bit of 'pot sweetener', I will dig through various boxes of TD goodies and come up with some prizes - to add to and stoke the excitement and frenzy I know you all will be gearing up for.
As I write this, the UPS man just delivered the newly re popped T'rantula kits - which should add more fuel to the building firestorm. Now, If I can get the Head Man (Mr. Rasmusen) to reload the T'rantula model kit page in the 'TD' Store, they will be for sale - and possibly provide parts and pieces for your contest creation.
"ADIOS Mothers" (for now).

Hmmmm... always wanted to build a T'rantula. This could be cool. What I'd really like to see is for somebody to break out/build a Rattler.
Great to see TD involved. The last time we had a Tom's Pick, I won it with the Mutha Fokker. I still have that signed print!

Steve you can do it..... you should get started. No time extensions.  I have been inspired for this one. I've been up late the last two nights working on one, and I have a project that has been stalled for the LAST TEN YEARS. In thinking about this contest I decided to dig it out this morning and change it around from the way it was headed. I am excited about it... |

Yes Virginia, that was the REAL Tom Daniel who posted here. Tom is now all signed up as a member again, his screen name is his name "Tom Daniel" and you'll even see what he looks like now on his avatar..... Toms website is: www.tomdaniel.com (go figure) If you haven't been there yet though, it's a cool site full of information and goods! |

Even though it's a really slim Christmas this year, I couldn't resist. I moseyed on over to the LHS at lunch and picked up a TD kit that I've never built before. YAY, REISSUES!
