Howz about already built TD Jewels ? If I can tweek one and enter, I'm In !! I'd say if you were rebuilding a glue bomb, definitely yes... if you have one already built that hasn't been entered in any of our previous contests, and you wanted to spruce it up, I guess that's okay... I'd like to encourage everyone to try and see that the point of all this is a "building" contest for fun, and that you have three months until the deadline. Surely even the slowest of builders can assemble a box stocker in three months time....

I'm jumping in on this! What a perfect way to get back into the Showrod groove. Aside from work ( >:(ugly four letter word), the last year found me caught up in the plague known as facebook. I got latched into more than a couple of games that started taking WAY too much of my time. My New Year's resolution is to remember they (facebook games) are just TIMEKILLERS! I look back at all the hobby time that was killed trying to keep up with the mafia, vampires, vikings, farmers, cities, etc... It hit hard when I realized that I was spending money on this nonsense! Yes, call me stupid. I'm not going to regret the last year, I look at it as a refreshing break from everything I had been doing. I was bogged down and maybe facebook was my escape. I've deleted a lot of the timekillers from my account and will only log in once a day. Other things; The old bigredwolf(dot)com is gone. Please delete any bookmarks to it, as it will not be coming back. Too many other "personalities" decided bigredwolf was a cool handle and adopted it for themselves. I was doing a search on "showrods" one day and of all the things to pop up in the image search was the finished Rallymaster rod! That's what tripped my trigger. I intend to get a model finished each month this year. (There's a secret, I've got at least twelve projects already started!) There's at least two that fit in with the TD Tribute. I'll post a couple of sneak peek shots tomorrow, it's closing in on night time on this side of the ocean.

I'd like to get in on this one. I actually built this one as a gift to a friend in Fall... built over a two month period, so it fits your time frame. If you guys don't mind... it was a fun project, based on a "Bad Actor" junker, and sure put a smile on my buddy's face. I kept a construction log so I can post progress shots over the next couple months. It's never been entered anywhere, or even posted on any of the other boards.

Usually we post the finished product. Sometimes guys give sneak peaks at what they are building, and some show full progress updates. We have no rules on that, it's entirely up to you.
