Counting Down to Mik's Build Challenge 2016

The MIK - Annual Build Challenge
#41

oh, john, forgeddit!

after some heart infarcts, my right hand is not even strong enough, to turn a key in a lock. but that is no reason for me, not to take on projects, that will take years, or that will give me nothing, but some pleasure or satisfied curiosity.

just because the guy with the scythe might be waiting for us behind the next corner, is no reason, not to do, whatever we like.

who the F… (with a capitol “F”) cares, if we leave ten or fifty unfinished projects behind?

our widows will throw out all the junk anyhow…

Every morning I wake up it gets my day off to a good start!

#43

What Doug said.

As long as I still wake up on the green side of the sod it’s a good day. I’m married to a lovely Irish Colleen, hence the reference to sod, y’see.

And every day that God sends me, I’m grateful, for Heaven knows I still have lots to do!

… and I still think that’s a great hat, Doug!

#44

I don’t know gents, I see too many days slipping away. The contest has reawakened my creative motivation 2 years in a row.

I’m looking forward to the fellowship again.(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)

38 Days to go ! ! !

I’m almost ready on my end of things. I’ve made a lot of progress lately, worked my poor tired fingers to the bone, but no bloodletting.

BTW: I’ve been paying attention to the random builds going on, so I know whats up, and youse guys won’t be able to slip them into this years builds… Of course youse scrondals would never even try to jump the starting gun now would you?

MAX, MAX, Quick, Push the button Max!!

#47

Dave, no, not I. And the $30 limit is adhered to here. Although my junk (parts) boxes runneth over.

#48

THE COUNTDOWN CONTINUES

27 days to GO

Get ready for the fun to begin.  

#49

Does this mean I need to keep my shop clean for 27 more days?(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif) I don’t think I can handle the stress.

#50

When do we officially throw our name in the hat? Or do we not have to worry about that this year?

#51

DAYS TO GO!

I have decided after last year to make a few changes to this years Challenge.

Stay tuned.

#52

I hope rule #1 still applies.

If not, then I will still have fun anyway.

#53

Ch-changes?

Hmmm more story or more modeling? Total presentation or the model?

Out of curiosity … what part was broken?

#54

Up here north of the border I am working hard to finish my current project, an Aristo 0-4-0 repair & drive upgrade, rewire, and RC install, so I can clear the workbench, sort of, before the challenge starts.

Always eager to see what Dave has come up with, I’m watching for developments with bated breath …

Cheers, gang!

#55

I have a place to work but the brain isn’t working yet!

#56

Oh, so not only do I have to clear off my workbench, I have to dust off my brain and plug it in? (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif)Damn!

#57

It’s a tough job but we hafta do it!

#58

Doug, yea, I guess. So I had better finish my stock tune up of my HO rolling stock soon. So I can re-clear my workbench.

#59

Oh gosh c’mon Mr. Taylor it’s the 26th for Pete’s sake, and everybody else’s, and we need something. A hint a clue a teaser.

#60

Devon, he is reworking the rules. I hope that rule one is still rule one. If I aint gonna have fun, I aint gonna do it. I told my boss that once, and he gave me the strangest look. I wonder why.
