OK........gonna kinda put the cart before the horse......so to speak. I pitched this project I have at one of the school campuses that I provide Police security for a little over a year ago and am finally doing trucks to show here. The school is the last chance for struggling students that have gotten themselves behind in credits, either medically for some, or discipline reasons, or the occasional pregnant teen. The way the contest works is like this....I build a model. (its cool, I build for work ) they in turn build one also to try and beat mine. Therefore "Top the Cop" . The students must hold only a passing grade (these aren't the next astro physicists you know ) and no discipline referral to ISS. (in school suspension). I in turn provide the kits, the prizes, the trophies, and the judges. (and yes, they are unbiased and have no idea which one is mine. We list by a number.) The reason for all this? I got behind on building mine and there is no time for WIP pics . So, I decided here at almost 1:00 a.m. and paint drying that I would put in a feeder of the WIP and show all of the kits on the post after the judging this Friday. I was actually surprised to have 8 students excited to build semi's too . BTW, many many thanks to Dennis (Cowboy Sevens) half of the Revell kits came via his generous donation. The playing field is set up very similar to IROC racing. We all have a 1/25th Revell kit. Some are the Pete, and others are the KW W-900 Aero. Oh....I have the KWhopper for mine. Wish me Luck We are on track. Clear coat is drying while I am at work. Should assemble this evening for the final pcs. Judging will be at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow. Prizes will presented at approx. 2:30 TX time. I should have most if not all of the pics posted by 10:00 p.m. BTW....paint came out awesome. (at least I think so anyway) I suppose that would officially be all that matters. Major update tomorrow.
