As usual:
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!

Thanks, Bobby! I had been planning to do a "C" cab, and after I pieced together the body, the nose and exaggerated curve made it look like an anteater. Since "C'anteater" sounded a little non-PC , I went with "C'naardvark" ( snärd-värk)

Thanks for the motivation to grab this off the shelf Ira. I don't know how long I've had it but it just kept getting shuffled to the bottom of the pile. Like I mentioned a lot of fun to build. Tires were a little misshaped, but the old Lepage Vinyl Cement straightened them out good. I debated making this thing a different color from the box, but had an extra can of Honda White automotive paint. After a few coats of that I applied a Duplicolor clear coat that had multi colored sparkle fleck incorporated in the mixture. Can't see this too good in the photos (only if you look closely). Then during assembly, I dropped one of the front signal light lens on the floor and never found the little sucker , so I improvised with what was left on the chrome tree. I also have on hand the Van, 57 Chevy and the Zzzz28. Might have to try another, since this went pretty well. Gerry G

Thanks guys! There's some fun stuff being posted over there. The Devil's Deal idea popped up after I was already working on a Satan's Crate, but had stalled on wheel treatment (I already have a stock version on the shelf). Seems like hobbybobby has that one well covered, anyway! With three builds in, I'm gonna take a break and maybe work on some other stalled show kits. And I can't wait to see some of these other previewed builds reach the Entries page!
