future contest ideas??!!??

[customminatures]

I am sitting here thimking of what type of contest to have next. This 1 is finally over and i feel was very rushed! This doesnt have to start soon but just get some ideas from you the people.

MY IDEA/SUGGESTION- I would like to have a replica contest. Something like the custom car contest but to replicate your favorite car/truck. Weather it is a car or truck, race car or a 4wd truck. it doesnt matter. Post pictures of the vehicle you would like to replicate and then begin progress. This should be a great idea for everyone. To sweeten the pot i propose a 6 month building time from whenever the contest starts! ialso keep it to 1/24 or 1/25 scale cars only!


Let me know your thought on this and any ideas you the people of AF have!

Thanks, Matt(customminatures)

a longer build time gives the more inexperienced builders time to figure things out!

i think that is a very cool idea, but i think if there was a new contest it should vear away from imports (eg. honda, nissan, toyota ext...). yes your idea whould alow it to vear from import cars, but 90% of all members here on af love imports. and your contest whould end up filled with drift cars, not that it whould be a bad thing but imports are kinda getting dull to look at, everday i come to af hopeing to see somthing new and exiteing, but i am let down, all i am seeing is the same model built.

Great idea Matt! I would enter a Hot Rod. Maybe a mini me of my big Hot Rod project.

maybe that isnt such a good topic! its nothing different that what most everyone does on here anyway, accept it would be judged! Let me here some of your ideas!

[mike@af]

This is my idea, and what I was planning for the next contest.

I call it the Custom Rod Design Contest [CRDC Pronounced as its spelled as well as Sirdeck (CRDeC)]. This contest is where you design your own hot rod and build it. Basically a custom hot/street rod contest. Such as modifying a '32 Ford into a Boydster, but the design should be your own original design.

Like I said, thats my idea, and Im going to initiate it soon, or we can possibly go into it together Matt.

Why do you need other ideas. Mines perfect and thats the way it shall be.

[customminatures]

lol u r funny!!! either way needs to be a long build time to give inexperienced people a chance!

[customminatures]

or maybe the Monster Garage idea would be cool!

I would be scared to see the monsters. But how would they be functional. Should the contests be more show than fucntionality?

I think an ultimate sleeper contest would be bitchin.
You know, build a car with basically stock appearance but a huge high performance engine in it. Might be hard for all the curbside builders though.

Yea, that would be hard.

Matt and I have been talking about my idea and I think were going to give it a go. Im going to type up the thread with some guidelines now.

Why not do a truck contest? There are many trucks and SUV kits available but no one here really builds them. I am about to start a tractor trailer project with a car hauler trailer.

i liked the replica idea, anything goes, so more people could be able to participate (not everyones in to imports, trucks, or hotrods) so IMO everything should be able to enter
