I fixed my throttle and am ready. Nothing like having the return spring set to WFO! I finished this build in record time for me, maybe I'm finally starting to get the hang of this modeling thing. Now if it would only stop raining, I'd like to take some pics outside. Unfortunately it's supposed to rain for the next few days.

Gave to old Alps printer a kick to see if I could get some white printing done... Seems to have worked. Waiting on the decal clear to dry, see if I can get some scribbles on these two builds. When's that deadline again?

Dave - really glad to hear you finished it!
I have completed 2 builds for this contest. However it has been raining for the past 3 days and will continue raining for another couple days, preventing decent outdoor picture taking. I tried taking indoor pics but they come out like crap.

I'm curious to see how many entries there will be . I'm afraid it won't be what we all were hoping for . I still won't be disappointed , there's going to be some great looking models ! I tend to take a lot of photos of my models so I can get some good shots , I hope no one minds if I post too many !

Dave,
The sun is out, but it's very windy. I almost lost my model when the wind grabbed my display board. I dropped my camera to save the model, I hope the camera is OK, to be honest I'd rather buy a new camera than lose this model.
Bob,
I hope your wrong about the turnout. After all I thought the whole idea of this contest was to bring interest to the site. It would've been nice to see more people post progress pics.
Don,
Did you get a tracking number? I hope they show up today.
Mike and Ira,
Tick Tock! Only hours left.

Got one all done. Decals came out, 'good enough'. The other is sitting on a wire hanger, drying and awaiting 'finial assembly'. Both will need photography as well. Don't matter if they're finished if there's no pics to show it.

The tracking # only says its scheduled to be delivered 3/29 , but according to their site, its still somewhere sorting in Mass. If they do arrive today I can button this thing up, but the decals need to be on before I put the steering bits in . I can send a pic of it semi done, but it sure looks odd without stripes !

I got two out of my five done... LOL. My job changed plans on me and I'm not even at home right now, and lost a week of home time with the rescheduling... Glad I was able to at least get something finished, but I won't be back home until next Monday...

Thanks guys.. As always, we'll keep the submission threads open for a week to let folks photograph and upload their builds. When I get back on Monday I'll close the photo threads and work on hammering out the voting.

Hey ,guess what just arrived today - my decals ! Apparently the post office lost it as the envelope looks a bit beat. The decals look good ; they are printed on white paper so I'm going to have to cut them out carefully, but they should look good on the silver body.

I built the Fire Frog just for Fun & Show, not as an entry, to encourage or inspire others to build Show Rods for the Contest.The Quality of the Entries is Amazing, its going to be tuff but I'm looking forward to judging. Everyone who entered the Revival Contest built Fantastic Models, I'm Very Impressed, Great Stuff Guys... Photos of the Fire Frog are in the Show Rod Sections!
