Having watched this years build from the start, I cast my vote as follows:
For the best build: Cale Nelson for Nelson Repeating Arms
For the best build log: Cale Nelson for Nelson Repeating Arms.
I think Cale best represents the spirit of Mik’s challenge… build something out of nothing.
Somehow, even I got involved in this mess…!!
Until now, I hadn’t even looked at the complete thread, but now I have.
My only comment, made without any thought, other than the hope that everyone enjoyed themselves, is…
YOU GUYS ALL DESERVE A GREAT PRIZE…but I think you all have already reaped the rewards…you all had fun…you all shared your talents…you all are part of a great family of Model Railroaders…THANK YOU ALL FOR SHARING…I sure appreciate it.
