No worries man, this is too awesome to say the least. Just outstanding skills and techniques you got and I appreciate your rapid-fire approach to everything
A real treat for everyone who can understand what it takes to produce something like this.

Only the Best

Thanks Dave!

Well was there ever a model contest without some controversy!?

Here we see the hillclimber and its awards . The judges felt it was a second p[lace model, but gave it a trophy as well. Second place models rarely if ever go through to the trophy round:


First placce motorcycle went to a oob esci sidecar kit, built for fun and taking no chances.

Congrats!! That was a master build!

Arguably that should have taken 1st place all round, but none the less, you were awarded the overall 1st place and that was well deserved!
