Awright, youse guys... you've infected my kids!  Now the 9yo is sitting around trying to figure out how she can use some $2 WalMart styro coolers to build a garage for swoops!!  Complete with *diagrams*!!

[Clonehead]

Cool! I wanna see tuose diagrams, Doc.

[spudafett]

that'd be a great thing for a dio! light weight and easilly portable and comes with it's own top!  lol  just don't spray paint it... I learned that the hard way when I was a kid doing one of those cell diagrams with a styrofoam ball.  Which reminds me I have to do one of those tonight with my oldest...... 

[Tamer]

Sweet deal guys, I have an old Styrofoam cooler I wish I could get in Doc's hands. Let that little gal cut and paint! Dad could maybe have the leftovers.

[DocOutlands]

I gotta take a BAD part to the Post Office today for a trip to a new home *and* return a video to the library, so I'm thinking a side-trek to WalMart is in order.  2-3 foam ice chests, maybe some spackling compound...  $10 or so and poof!

Oh, and I have to get *her* a ShipYards account, as *she* has a speeder to enter.  *sigh*   

[Tamer]

Man, we have had so many custom additions that I need to make sure this gets bumped back to the top! Awesome.

[Clonehead]

Good idea, buddy. We don't want our new members to miss it.

[Tamer]

It is getting harder to wait for September 13th, I know that.

[Clonehead]

I haven't gotten a difenitave response on the number of members competing bit I would like to think that there will be at least ten entries.
  this is the biggest contest this far that we have had and I, for one am just as excited as all get out for the final reveal to get here.

[spudafett]

lol I couldn't wait any longer and went ahead and sent my entry post in to tamer and clint... I hope the "awe" factor hasn't worn off by the time the 13th rolls around!  HA!

man I can't wait to see everyones stuff.  lol in alot of ways I want the competition to look better than mine just cuz I want to see some awesome stuff!  neverless I know the mods are going to have a hard time picking a winner, I know I would!

[Clonehead]

It will be almost as much fun watching the entries surface as it would be to watch details and ideas come to light while working on one of my own projects. Mabey even more fun.

Here's my entry for the contest, posted earlier than expected,LOL.

Some modifications to some of my older customs. The painted speeder is that 4 color auto paint. The color changes, depending on the angle.





Thanks for looking.

Barry

[Clonehead]

And we have our first entry, folks! That is a cool looking speeder and rider, Barry! I love the setting as well. Can you take a closer shot of just the speeder? I love the paint on it and want a better look.
  This is front page bound!

Haha, nice, chameleon paint on a speeder, the Star Wars Universe has now gone pimp. Next up, 20" gold repuslorlift engines

Thanks again.
