Well guys, we're approaching a year and 9 months old so its time to get some ideas for the next 3 month contest. We'll be putting your ideas to a vote on weds next week so lets see your suggestions.

How about a van?? Was thinking about the box style, you know, the one with the blacked out windows and the strange man offering lollies and puppies?

Wild custom
Big Rig truck. (considering so many are building them at the moment)

Maybe pick 1 model and let each builder decide how to do it from mild to wild, factory to barn find but I'm happy to run with anything.

Vans have lots of area for trick paint jobs and lots of interior for customizing. The only downside is the engine is a bit hidden.

Same kit, different interpretations. I nominate "49 mercury build off" using either the Revell or AMT kits. (I choose that because I'm fairly sure most of us have at least 1 Merc in the stash, or they are readily available) |

Great ideas guys! I've never done the anniversary but I'll see what floats to the top. It would be just for participation for me because I see a lot of talent with you guys so I'd be along just for the camaraderie. My favs, Pro Touring, then Merc build-off.  |

When the poll goes up I'll include basic colours, red, blue, black, grey, white, yellow, orange, purple and green. That would cover pretty much all of them and save having a second poll.
I had another idea to build a super hero's private car which could be entertaining. As long as the reason for picking the vehicle fits the hero. eg. would superman drive a prius? what would the punisher drive? loads of options for that
also theres lots of cars in songs
