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!

Wow, I am humbled by the high-art of these entries. I promised someone I would enter, but I feel mine is really amateurish now. It's not even finished (about 70% done). It's the first model I have built in 21 years! I'll enter what I have done this coming weekend, but man, these guys here are good.

There's no way I'm going to have time to finish my T'rantula in time, and I'm not sure it would have been as impressive as that Ivo-motored version, even if I'd completed it. The bubble topped buggy is awesome too - makes me want to finish my similar project now. I'll post pics of my unfinished T'rantula by the end of Friday - at least you'll be able to see where I'm going.

Allright, I've gone back to take a 2nd look and I've gotta say that generally box stock builds don't blow my dress up, but Dave Arstrong, that is one clean Rattler and I've got to applaud you for that nicely engineered Ivo driven T'rantula. I built the Ivo dragster about 15 years ago and I don't ever want to build another. Those motors are a trip to build.
Brandon, sorry you didn't get your's done. I would like to see that 6 powered cherry bomb chopper spiffed up.
Very slick subdued paint job on Ironheadchopers Vandal. All of his builds are nice and clean. One suggestion on taking pics, lose the fuzzy towel and just use a plain flat surface. The towel takes away from the looks of the model. I made that mistake myself before,
Nice idea on badroadahead's Blue Ray. The see thru doors and fins are a nice addition.
Gotta appreciate the detail on John T's Rommel's Rod.
What can I say, mykturk's Law Breaker is my hands down fav-O-rite so far. I'm kinda partial to that kit to begin with, then the 'ol sign painter hisself took it over the top. Hmmm, now THAT might be one four motored Ivo kit I might do again, LOL.
John V's entries are all spectacular. Subject, styling, execution, superb!
Doncar's Outcast is just sweet. But there I go rooting for the drag cars again.
Russell's Dragon Wagon is nice a clean.
Charles King Chopper is pretty clean too.
Hobby Bobby didn't disappoint with his Ice T.
Dumpy Dan's Keg Party has some nice ideas incorporated into it.
Those are the standouts for me. Entries I did not mention are worthy of being here but for a variety of reasons they just didn't pop for me, but then I am not the resident expert here. I jdo however appreciate all the hard work everyone put in. Keep at it, it will come to you.

Some truly incredible builds displayed!!!!
Inspiration just BLASTS out of all of Tom's designs. Regardless if they are built box stock or used in a kitbash project.
Every picture displayed in the entry thread, whether it be a completed model or in-progress is an amazing display of talent!
Clowns, old and new have not disappointed this old dog.
I'm just happy to be part of it all!
Cheers! Bill

Wow! Great stuff so far, everyone!! I love some of the color choices I'm seeing: the black Fire Cracker looks badass; I'm in LOVE with the slime green on the Sand Crab (seriously - I want some of that); the thought-it-was-just-Grabber-Orange-until-I-enlarged-the-pic spatter paint really makes that TJ Taxi stand out; and the multicolored headers on the Endless Summer are one of my favorite features of it.
Can't wait to see what else shows up. More later.... ;D

Well I don't agree with you guys, I myself would like to be Tom Daniels, man what a ride that would be. This is getting better and better, there is so much talent. Come on guys post your unfinished stuff to, I think we would all like to see it also.

One thing I like about these contest is all the cool ideas I can incorperate into future builds, and I also get to see kits I haven't built and decide whether or not they are something I want... I think this sums it up exactly. I may be putting words into Dave the RallyMaster's mouth, but I think this is the reason we are all here; to inspire! Edited to correct spelling! Jeez I must be getting old!
