Looking these pages over, one thing is clear...
Even in these tough times, there is no shortage of imagination, innovation, inspiration and just plain good old fashioned raw talent on this board!
Here’s to the models and to those that made them!
Well done each and every one, finished or not!
And not to forget the man who made it all possible by bringing his imaginative ideas to us in little 4x7x10 inch boxes.
Thank you ever so much Mr. Daniel, and a very Happy Birthday to you as well!
Where would we be without your art works?
A quick thank you to Tim for arranging this little shindig too!
;D

Well done guys! ;D ;D ;D Glad to see so many models finished, and to those that didn't, thanks for posting photos of what you did accomplish.  Sadly, I didn't finish anything within the allotted time. Like so many others here, life just got in the way.  |

Wow. You guys did a wonderful job all around, both box-stock and kitbashes, just lot's of great efforts. It's also nice to see such a fantastic turnout!
Tomorrow, MONDAY, you guys can start PM'ing me your votes. Pick a kitbash, a box stock, and what the hell, how about a best unfinished as well? Sound good?
I'll call Tom as well, so we can get his two cents in there on his favorites. Best of luck to all of you, a real honor for Tom to review all of your fine work, that leaves NO LOSERS at all. He has a strong appreciation for all efforts made.

What a great bunch of builds! Really glad to see a King Chopper in the mix. I imagine Tom will be very happy to see such effort go into his "children".

All I can say is this is going to be really tough to pick the best!
There are so many really nice builds. Even the unfinished ones are very imaginative.
Thank you Tom for all the fine designs and for influencing us. You kids have grown and matured....at least on the outside!

Good luck to all and many, many THANKS to our friend, Tom Daniel, for giving us all some of the greatest automotive designs to ever be made into scale models!

I am giving all who entered a big round of applause! It is good to see some new names in the contests. My entries are still in primer and putty. I hate that I missed this one. Again, great builds! Thanks for the inspiration and ideas for some of my future builds.
