Its nice to see that my creation has taken on a life of its own!!!!!!!. <br /> <br />As I write, I almost have the rules finalized. But still do not have dates for the compitition set, and I wont be able to set them until I hear back from potential sponsors. <br /> <br />Dough is correct in that parts from kits are not allowed. Allowed premanufactured Items are Trucks, Couplers, Door and Window Castings, small detail parts, like brake cylinders, Brake wheels, and the like. Peel and Stick shingles for buildings is also permitted, and finally Decals are allowed as well. <br /> <br />In regards as to where this compitition will take place, I am wanting to hold it online. This I will will be able to expose it to maximum viewership and make anyone from around the world able to participate should they choose to do so. Photos of the model being built and after completion as well as an article detailing its construction can then be mailed, or e-mailed to me after completion. <br /> <br />To answer Shaun CN's concerns about signing up, It is really quite easy. Just scratchbuild something according to the rules and have it submitted by the due date, and your in. However since I am finalising the rules for this compition, getting started is somewhat dificult at this moment. <br /> <br />Finally cfdfirmen's comments about being so unskilled he would be laughed out of the compitition. I say to you, you never know what you can do unless you try. I find that this hobby has alot of artificial barriers. Things seem to hard so people to try them. Yet if you try them, you find them to be quite easy. So I urge you to build something. It only has to be a simple tool shed in order to qualify as an entry. It just has to be scratch built. <br /> <br />Also at this time, I would like to announce that I will be offering unlimited technicle and how to assistance to anyone feeling they need it. You can post here, or contact me on AIM or through email. Contact info is avaialbe through my profile. <br /> <br />Again, I would like to thank all of you for enthusiasticly taking charge of your modeling and help me bring this thing to fruition. <br /> <br />James.
