Just something quick I whipped up.
Good luck, Matt, on getting back to the workbench.

Sorry, guys, I didn't have time to join this one. I really would like to in the future though.
Is there a gallery where I could see the completed builds?

I just thought I would check and see how everyone did and if the campaign is officially over or if there is going to be another extension.

I did and posted pictures in the gallery. It was my first venture into the AutoModeler world!! I knew there were other projects in the works so I just wanted to check. I hadn't seen much activity in this post for awhile so I was just curious.

PS. Hi Matt, I also placed a post in the Tools and Supplies forum checking to see if you would be hosting a Build-A-Tool III campaign any time soon.
Thanks guys

Wait, I did a cop car also. I did the Charger with the Pennsylvania state markings. Was I supposed to put a pic in a gallery?

Well, theres the rub. I've deleted those pic's from my PC since it was like 8 months ago. They are still on my build thread and photobucket. 
Ahhh.......I'm almost out of space in my gallery anyways.
Hermon
BTW, what's B-A-T III ?

I had huge paint problems not too long ago...it'll require me wet sanding the whole rescue body to remove the non compliant paint and re-priming.

Cool, just saw the ribbon!!
Thank you Matt for the ribbon and for the campaign.
I am looking forward to your Build-A-Tool III campaign. I have several ideas for some tools. I just don't want to build them all as I don't know how many campaigns you plan on having in that series.
Thanks again.

NP Harv.
I think the build a tool will happen once every year or two....... I know I have some more Ideas.. But I have seveal other machining projects (thanks to the gov't ethanol in gas mandate) that has me making parts to convert several engines to run on propane as I can't get replacement carb part that are ethanol resistant) along with a remodeling project going on in the house as $$ allows.

Thanks for the ribbon, Matt. The campaign was fun, and definately a learning exerience. We'll have to do another one.
Ok, who's going to run the next truck campaign? Matt & I have already done one. Bob? How about you?

Yeah, mine was a learing experience too, yours was at least a good one!
As far as the "next truck build campaign"...quit that...I was gonna hit us up for one and I guess as long as I don't have to paint it with that red paint, I'm ok! Let me look around the dungeon{basement} here...I "may" be able to scounge up something for a build if I look hard enough...or try and walk.
I have some unfinished business with a wayward dino, two railcar campaign pieces and a logging truck to button up...after that it's open season for me. What start dates sound good to you folks?!....thinkin plenty of time for those of us who battle life frequently{and painting} while model building.

I missed the last truck build.
Whatever you come up with Bob, I'll build something to go along with it. Later on in the year would be nice.
