Gang…
Rummaging thru my torn down and piled in a corner workbench and storage drawers… I found several left over “Gondola Kits” from the 2013 Mik Challenge…
Would those be cheating to build this year, as they may be the only thing I could build right now…considering my current life changes…
Interesting Dave….
Nope… Wrong kind of Gondola…
Go for it Dave. Plus enough extra letters.
Nope. Especially if you do something to “de-gondola” the end results, since, per #4 “…onverting a Gondola to a work caboose does fit.”
Also, if you don’t need those kits post-Mik, please let me know!

Adding this in for those that may not have seen it. I think it’s so cool.
Go for it Dave. Ruke #1
Well the starting gun has sounded, but this is Wild Card weekend, so I’ll be a bit pre-occupied as my favorite team, the Bills, have another shot this year.
Being retired has it’s privileges. I can watch feetsball while the working stiffs scramble to make a strong start over the weekend!
Looking forward to the fun!
Go for it Dave 
Well Gang… it was but a few years ago… and a prediction was made by our Dan and Vic.
It’s been more than the guessed upon 3 years… Actually 5…wow time flies…
But keep guessing… I do know what next year’s Challenge will be…???
So we have a year to plan ahead now. 
What do I need that needs doors? Lots!
OK GANG…
3 weekends gone by… Only two more to get it done…
I just might be able to get started next weekend…
AHHH It’s getting to be crunch panic time!
For once I am feeling pretty good about this. I might be real close to done this weekend.
I just put the roof and lettering on mine, I’m not going to stop early like I usually do at this stage. I’m going to see how much extra details I can add to it before the end.
Last 9 days… time to get with the final plans…
Or start in my case…
Officially … DOWN TO THE LAST 24 Hours…
Unless you have to put in an “All Nighter” till sun up Monday to get it finished.
Time to stick on all the little bitty pieces …
Boy the Build time went by fast.
My build is looking good but there is still so much to do. This is going to be a year where I say “Good Enough” 
OFFICIALY… MIK 2025 is over…
WOW… What a great set of builds…
UP next… The Glamor shots… I’ll start a NEW thread…
