Hey Gang, remember back last year when Kenny Kaos hosted a loose custom contest here on the boards. It was a blast for several of us. More of a themed event then a contest, as we did not vote, or declare a "winner". But it gave us a reason to think about castings we might not have looked at, as well as motivation to build.
Well, Kenny is not gone, just a bit busy with a few other things lately, so I though I would throw it out there and see if we had anyone interested in doing it again. Post comments and ideas, and let's see if we come up with a consensus.
Being the first of a new month, I thought It would be a good time to look at it. Here is my initial idea for the April "KK Kustom Korner"...
We pick one casting we all can agree on. A current casting that is easy to find for someone wanting to jump into the fun. Like a current JL casting, say the Pony Power Mustang ( they are hanging EVERYWHERE I stop) or maybe the PP Orange AMX ( same as the Stang'). I would even concede to an occasional HW casting or Greenlight I would love to do GL's but being limited to 3,500 each, not as easy for everyone to find.
We then place a time or deadline for everyone to post their pics.This is after all , an "on-line" contest. We will post submissions under one thread for easy viewing We will have one week to vote, one vote per member. And at the end of the week. A winner will be declared. I will send the winning member a small prize and maybe a certificate. OK, so there is no cash, well, maybe a $5 spot, but this is not about money, it's about having fun! Maybe the winner might want to donate the winning car to the charity auction for AutoFest this year. Just an idea, certainly no obligation.
So there is one idea, what's yours? Let's settle on something in the one week and make the due date the 30th, and we will have the first week of May to vote. As carnut likes to say..."talk among yourselves"!
