CJ Here is my M1A1 Abrams with mine plow. It won first in modern armor last year.

very cool and look forward to seeing it!

C.J. I will see if I have a pic of it. If not I will take some

thank you m.b. that's fantastic on the modern build any chance i can see it. that's all i do btw. would love to see pics of it! but again, fantastic and thanks again!!

WELL DONE!!!!!!!! Does make you feel good. Wait til you get that your first first place. I got mine last year at the Region 12 regionals, first time ever going to a regionals and got first in modern armor. I was absolutely surprised as I felt the model that won was not one of my best works.

thank you hans...much appreciated. hopefully i can keep up the "winning ways".

bullet21: if you look on the 2nd or 3rd page of the dio forum you will see it. it's labeled "gun for hire". thank you for the comps and you are correct. i tink it will boost my desire to do better. as for the lotto ticket...lol...guess it wouldnt hurt either huh? thanks again gents!!

never mind...here you go bullet!!

Nicely done, CJ.

1st off, CONGRATS brother! I've never had the chance to even attend, let alone enter, a contest but I can only imagine the boost it would give you. Any chance of seeing a pic or two of the prize winning build? 2nd, did you pick up that lotto ticket yet? Keep it up, you're obviously on the right track.

thanks fett man and thanks too fermis. good meeting you and kevin there. i know i didnt talk a whole lot to you guys but my mind was focused on everything going on. the evening wasnt completely without incident though...lol. i got back to my car after being dropped off and was about a mile if not less from that point on my way home...well the stop light was out and i didnt see it until i was on top of it. wouldnt you know there was a cop right there next to me...who did stop. well, he pulled me over. first time (ever). he asked me if i remembered my drivers training manual about stopping at lights when out. i looked at him and said "i didnt see it"! well, he hesitated then asked me if i was drinking. b4 i could finish saying "no" he was walking away to his car. then he drove off. ok...guess i lucked out twice last night. for the record i have a spotless (always have) driving record. guess it's time to go buy a lotto ticket!!!

Congrats!

thank you dp. i appreciate that!

Congrats!  You deserved the award... I won't be surprised if you bring home more awards if you keep building.

thank you rick. perhaps i can bring home 1st some time in the future...but im not holding my breath. still, gives me something to shoot for down the road.

Congrats on the well deserved Award.

Regards,  Rick
