 Turning the kit antenna into my grand pops bamboo surf fishing rod. The handle is from dechromed sprue. Super glued three layers of instructions together and punched out pieces for rod eyes with small sharpened tubing. Made a GO FISH sign from instructions and I dont like it. I tape small things down to coasters so they can be moved around easily. I just happen to have pretty many craft beer coasters... Awesome !! |

 The Glitter Bug is finished. I'll post pics tomorrow. Before I threw some of this away I took a pic of the left over pieces from the modifications and my trial and error stuff. The engine was narrowed to tuck the tires in so that gives me the carb stacks to use on another build. This build was fun. Thanks for coming up with it and all to participated. Cheers,Smokey |

Ok gang , the time period for this contest was much shorter than usual so . . .
Would it help if we extended it a couple of days ? I have no problem with going thru the weekend and having Sunday night as the deadline .
If this would help any of you chime in here and let me know !

yes that would be wonderful... weekends usually are the best time we cram our time to finish the model builds |

I dont need the extra time but, extendin' it sounds good to me. I look at these builds as theme builds to promote buildin' more so than contests....
