LoneWolf15 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I agree that the names should not be shown also . However , the secret is that there are no secrets .... Someone knows whose builds belong to what builder and word spreads like wildfire amongst the brethren . Also , builders who have a certain style will have their models easily recognized as to whom they belong to . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpa Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Wow! Some great looking models posted here! I have to agree with Rob...."don't get PO'd" if you get overlooked. I took like a 36 year hiatus from building model cars and got back into it in 2008. Entered a contest in 2011 with the second model I built in 2010 and beat out about 20 other street rods to take first place with a '32 chopped Ford! I was actually walking away when it was announced. As I turned around I actually said, "you gotta be kidding". Now granted it was an NNL, and it was not a judged event, but it was chosen by other builders, and that in itself was a huge plus. To be picked by your peers, and I don't know any of these guys, well.....a very good feeling. The same car did take a second at a judged event. As well as a Memorial award, but to be honest. Praise from your own carries a lot of weight. On the other hand. The pictures here are of an original AMT '64 Mustang that a friend had found in his garage and gave it to me. Painted a "god awful", christmas ornament metallic green. With a paint brush no less, and a candy apple chasis (?). Luckily it had not been built. "Thanks" ( I think). It promptly went back in the box and onto the shelf. I bought a set of Studio 81 wheels for stock and thought that they would look good on the Mustang. So I stripped the paint, and went to town. Too many things to list, but to give you an idea.The stock kit interior has six pieces including the tub. I used fifty-three pieces to create what you see here. Took it to a judged event......not even a look from the judges. No big deal......build for yourself, and if you take it to a contest, and it wins....that's a plus. What matters most is....do you like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsxse240 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 This one yielded no awards, mainly, I think, because there's no genre to put it in...at the time anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
