Congratulations to everyone who took part in this year’s challenge. Picking amongst the builds was quite difficult and each winner is well deserved. John, Chris, Eric, Devon and Lou did an amazing job with their builds. A special congratulations to them. But all the entrants get a prize … we all created something new to add to our layouts and we all had fun in the process.

And, a big congratulations to ME … for being lucky(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif) Thanks Boomer for providing the Ken figure. It will find a prominent place on my layout one day. I just hope your reincarnation of Ken works as hard as the real one on building a layout. I’m going to need all the help I can get. Does the figure come with all Ken’s knowledge too? That would be a great help!!

Quit screwing around in here Cliff !

You have a laser cutter to finish installing. Mik detested that new kind of technology !

Congrats to Lou, Devon, Eric, Chris( first timer too!) and John. It was a blast to be in this challenge and to have the nice things said about my efforts, I congratulate all that entered, and hope those that didnt finish will keep posting pictures of their efforts. Looking forward to next years, is it almost time to start???

WOW!! Never expected 2nd Place on my first try. Was up against a bunch of great builds. Once again, I really appreciate being allowed to participate, all of the kind comments, and all of the votes. Really had a lot of fun, and learned a lot.

Thanks again guys,

Chris

I think we have an awesome group of guys and even a gal or two around here. I know it’s electronic, which I admit still makes me uneasy, but it’s a good feeling to see people genuinely interested in the builds, and I love seeing what others are working on. Now then it helps that Kevin is a nearby friend here in Denver, and it helps that I’ve met Jon Radder and his great family in person, but, for me, getting together for the Challenge makes me a lot more comfortable than I would be otherwise. I like this place.

#15

We like you too John

#16

Now all I got to do is get Dave to sell me a couple more sets of that stone. Something tells me he doesn’t even want to see those molds for a few weeks though!!
