I was thinking last night.... about this little contest....
and it's been a while since we've had a contest, and we've picked up some new members and have a couple of first-timers here at the Corner, and I wanted to say once again how things go down around here.
One: Have fun. That is the most important thing.
Two: Do your best. Do the best you can, but don't worry about it. If your paint is less than stellar, but it's on the model, proceed...
Three: Relax. We are not IPMS, and not fans of that heavy of a scrutiny. This isn't a dog show, there'll be no groping, no high powered flashlights, or magnifying glasses. Detailing has it's place, but it's the ideas and creativity that go the distance here. I personally rattle can everything and wire nothing. If you LIKE wiring ignition boxes and fuse panels, enjoy yourself. That's what gives you your style. You will not be thought any less if you do, or do not fully plumb and wire your model. The same goes for paint.... in the end, it's a model, and we are submitting photos. We have some amazing painters here, and we should all strive to do our best, but you do not get better if you do not try, or go forward without getting discouraged... models are like a bus, there's another one coming.
Four: Have Fun. That's what it's really all about. Pull some wild ideas out of your brain and put them into plastic....
Five: Did I say have fun?
Good luck, FINISH your fool builds, and none of you are prepared for the mind assault I'm gonna dump on you with my two insane-o builds.....muwahahahahahaaha!

I can say without question, that after recieving my names for the contest from Dan, that there are some sick and twisted individuals on this site! And what better company to build with I say!! Woohoo!! I got (3) crazy names to fool with, I've got at least 2 thought out, ones on my sketchpad, and the other is in the brain! Don't know how many I'll finish , but hope to do at least 2! Can't wait to get started!! And yes, we have always stressed, please relax and have fun. If your new or just coming back to the hobby, just go for it! We love your work, and seeing you progress! As for the hardcore old guys around here that continually blow minds, I can't wait to see your work!  |

are not contesting? I thought maybe those of us who have been back at it a while and have no agenda in this contest could be available for consulting if any of the newbies have "how to" or "would this look good" questions. Some gentle guidance might ease the pain a little if someone gets hung up on execution. Part of this contest is the last minute wow factor when they are all unveiled, so by asking advice from non contestants they wouldn't give away any secrets.
Any thoughts on this?

Well Schteve, why didn't you enter??
I thought about a stickied help thread, maybe one where we can post wanted ads for bits needed for these builds, not non-contest stuff.... some of these names may require more than our parts box stashes have... I know I need to go shopping for one of mine...
If Papa Paul can set up a thread, and maybe a note to PM either of you with constructon questions, I don't see anything wrong with that at all... Paul? Whatchoo think?
