Sounds good , But I'm following N-gaugers lead and watch from the sidelines . I got to get some work done on the layout.

dunno 'bout anybody else....but that makes me nervous!!

Good contest idea. I'll be interested to see what everyone else does, but most likely, I will also not be able to participate. All my time is being devoted to getting some trains running.

Does it have to be something new and unstarted? I need a jolt to get me to finish a few things.

Hmm. Only if I can lie about which one is oldest But, an excellent suggestion!!! (maybe a winter challenge?)

Good question. I'm of the opinion it should be a new project. We can talk about working on something older in the fall. I'm probably just a guilty as anyone in that respect with about four or five things I started and have put aside.

I have been putting off the Keystone Model Works "Danby Sawmill" for five years now. I know I should get at it...I have done some finer modelling than simply gluing plastic kits since purchasing it, so there isn't much excuse...just no enthusiasm. Maybe a contest like the one just proposed, but later in the fall, would be good.

Based on what you all have said so far, I think we'll go ahead with the "anything goes, new structure build challenge" for the summer, then hold a "fall cleanup" challenge starting in September. That way we can all get some of our half-finished projects some new meaning in life, but not have to worry about it until this fall...

I think both challenges will provide something for everybody. Sometimes, these challenges are the only time I get something meaningful completed. Like a lot of us, I'm really good at starting something, but always finding some excuse not to finish it.

I just got back from a road trip, and didn't have a computer. So I guess you all waited til I was gone to decide.(Shhhh....don't tell Ed....)

Anyway, I WOULD have suggested, a contest like we had before. Taking a junk building and scratchbashing it into something else. But, as always, a day late and an idea short.

Besides, with my time restraints, I'm going to have to decline.

[BR60103]

I'll see what I can do. I bought a kit from a new manufacturer last month and I may be able to work on it away from home.

[P5se Camelback]

Structures? I'm sure I could find something to build ... 8-)

If I have to, I could put the "Cute Little Crummies" aside again for a little while ... to build a structure? Oh, yeah ... I could do that.
