So!  U need to Win?   Hummm!  Ok!  

The jet!   With over 50 entries in the All open Cat.    It was like buying a Loto ticket.  Sorry! 

Some sort of Subdivision will probalbly need to be put in place next year??  It's only going to become worse.....     If the contest keeps on growing ?     And I bet! It will.....

Be realist and go back to the listing and look at what you were going against !  Tough choices.... And too many kits!  Hard to know what you were to come up against since those entries only became visible at voting time!   

The Stang!    Some photos are not fully focused!   So if push came to shove....  That would have been a "cut off" reason for me!    I can't evaluate or quantify what I can't see!

Being a car fan... at model shows.  I go for a high gloss finish,   Very hard to get with Hand painting!

Without numerous wet sanding and polishing.....

I am not going to make friends here but I don't fully agree with having Rusted vehicles competing with prestine street cars!.....   That too, should be another sub class!   If enough participants enters!

And there were over 15 cars!    So....   Take my words with a grain of salt....  It was a friendly competition after all....    Keep your chin up!   And carry on!   

I hope you complete your Air brush system by next Spring. It should help you greatly and remember..... Don't give up!

Norm.

       Nice, bright, "focused" close-ups helps!
