Well, after another read through the string to see who all mentioned being in I thought I'd throw up a post for the contest in the contest board. With all that have mentioned being in, this should pan out to be a great view in October. Here is the list so far of all who are "IN". There are quite a few more than entered in the last contest of which some entered several builds. So if everyone gets at least one done and some of you guys get a couple, we'll make a good showing. If anyone else decides to enter, just post in one of the strings and I'll add your name to the list. If you opt out, do the same so it can be removed. If you care to read through the thread that started all this...follow this link: coffincorner.proboards89.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=63831. Tim Nolan 2. Customcruiserroy 3. Brandon 4. Dan Barten 5. Starry Eyes 6. Theflame 7. Rob Riley 8. Flounder 9. oldskewljay (Jason Richardson) 10. BigDave 11. Bellyofthewhale 12. 70elcamino 13. Doncar 14. Sooperdave 15. Joe D 16. Metalburner 17. Ira 18. A.J. 19. Hobbybobby 20. JerryG 21. Fredmellini 22. gfgcollects (Gerry G) 23. TheMadModeler (Bill) 24. stevelewis (Steve Lewis) 25. detroithammer (Boom) 26. vwcamperman (Martin Leonard) 27. dbash2006 (Dean) 28. gwangiboy (Mark Rollie) 29. showrodfreak Don V. 30. Tory 31.

A couple more names since last night. This is building up to be a good show!
Thanks to Tim for kicking this off! It's been awhile since we've had a really good contest at the Coffin Corner.

Looks like I'll get my butt beat by this great list of guys but hey, what's life without a good beatdown once in a while? Hahahaha.
So the rules are there are no rules?
I usually only play with plastic and what I can find around the house (wires, more plastic, hangars, etc.). I tried aftermarket stuff but that gets too expensive for my blood.
I can't hardly wait to dig out my stuff.
Take care and good luck all!!

Anyone that has been with this place since the beginning knows all about the early contests that were just hours of eye candy! With the group we have here going, I think we can really surpass anything from the past that was ever done. I'm not sure we ever had 30 members participate before so no doubt this will be great. People! Don't miss out on this. Be a part of the best Coffin Corner contest yet! |

heck, who care who "wins" it's all about the fun and to promote new builds.
this looks like it's stacking up to be a good contest so far.
looks like i'm going to have to dig through my stuff and come up with a good idea (or 3) for this one.

how do we show our builds? do we just post them or e-mail them to a moderator?

Thanks Dwayne, you've been added to the list.
Very cool, we're creeping up to 40 participants. This is going to be good! Thanks again to Tim for getting this started and thanks to everyone who has jumped on board. If this plays out well, we're building up to the contests of the past. Awesome!

hey, you spelt my name wrong Sorry about that Martin, got ya fixed up. I can type pretty well but it doesn't mean I'm going to get everything right. What is odd though is that when somebody said they were going to join I'd just copy and paste their name into the list. Don't know how I would have done that but in any case I fixed it. |

Jason, you can post progress pics in the "Projects in Progress" section. Just post as the project you're building for the CobWeb Classic.
Look forward to seeing what you're building.

SHHHHHHHHHHH. . . . I was going to keep this a secret. . .but I will tell it just to you. . . .  on a second build for the classic. . . I need help. . . . with a hard to find part. . . A friend of mine gave me a Dragon Wagon glue bomb. . . about a year before he died. . and I want to build it up right. . . well. . . I have taken it apart and thanks to two people I have all the pieces (I think). . not the best shape but there. . . well I started working on the build and thought. . . What about a two headed dragon? Wouldn't that be cool? Well I would need a second dragon head/neck/ shoulder. . . so if you have one that is not too expensive. . . please let me know. then I will alter the cage as needed with styrene. . I think. . . the bars on the cage might be interesting challenge in itself. . . . remember don't tell anyone. . . I want it to be a surprise! I don't want anyone to steal my idea and build it before me. . .  OK? Thanks GB barten |

Is it too late to put my Bulldog in the pit to fight it out? If not, I'm in... There are no sign ups or anything like that to participate. I just started the list to kind of show everyone who all is participating and hope that more would get involved. There used to be great contests here in the past and they have kind of fallen the way side. So when Tim put this out there, I just kind of followed him by trying to push for a big contest again. I think it's building to be a great one. I'll add your name to the list. Thanks for participating. |

Okay, I've done some digging around in my basement, and I've found some 'this 'n' that's', which just might evolve into a showroddish like creation...
So, if I may, I'd like to toss my hat in the ring for the fall classic, please.
I was going to use a started "Street Fignter" project, but it's far more the worse for where than time will allow for, but I love the look, so it'll get some much deserved attention soon enough.
No, I'm taking this one in a whole new direction for me, which should prove fun, and it's got a name already too, "P'odd Rod"... Think, "Open the pod bay doors Hal" and you are in the right direction!

If so, we'll be in for a real treat. Just like the contests of old. I'd really like to see all 39 come through. |
