2026 MIK's Build Challenge

Didn’t stay up late last night…ZZZZZzzzzzzzzz…

So It’s official GO!!

( as if you guys really needed to hear that).

Go time!!! Yes took long enough

Well, disaster guys I think I just fried my laptop with all my files and such on it for the MIK. I’m doing this from my phone. We’ll see what I’m coming up with standby but I’ll watch.

Gang… I don’t really have to say this too loud… Last two days to get it finished up…

Shouldn’t be a problem:

That’s awesome Todd, is it self propelled or will it be pulled?

We’re in trouble this year… :frowning:

Self propelled. It’s built on a raffle prize, European, LGB model, neither or which I run on my railroad.

Last 36 hours… Stick the little stuff on it and call it done…

The Boot (my entry) is done but the accompanying building facade is not going to make it.

10 Pm Mountain time here in New Mexico, Times up midnight for Todd on the Cape and no one really knows what time it is in Hawaii ( other than Clan Mueller) and I think it’s tomorrow afternoon down under… California has another hour… but this makes it a wrap… Unless you need an all-nighter till your sunup tomorrow…

Incredible builds again this year…You all done good…

I’m not sure we know what time it is, either. “Hawaiian time” is a real thing!

Thanks, Dave, for moderating the contest again!

GREAT JOB GUYS…!!!

Time to get the Glamor Shots lined up.

I will be passing on the final this year. I am a little overwhelmed. My Daughter’s Mother passed last week. My Aunt for whom I was the Guardian, passed on Saturday night. My boiler overflows with paperwork and arrangements.

Lou,

So sorry for your losses. I will add you and your family to my prayer list.

Eric

understandable.
to have time now for your daughter is much more important, than the hobby.
be tough!
