That Hummel is amazing!! Can you make me one

Incredible work, guys

I'm glad Kamikaze has to judge this and not me. I think I realize why I primarily stick to customizing 1:1 vehicles instead!

Warhawker, that's impressive work considering you started out with a plain jane Panzer IV Ausf D! It's not a 100% accurate replica, but I can respect the product of such hard work! Making it more accurate woulda made it more worth it to build a model kit of it anyways

And that'd be for a whole 'nother forum...

Here is my custom made 1/18 scale German Flak 88 with gun crew.

Good job guys. Very nice work! V2man, your pond is totally safe dude. Zelda1958 , I can't access your pictures. I just get the Wallyworld site. I would help if I could but I don't even know how to do this myself. Are there any of you other guys out there that can lend Zelda a hand?

Great Job guys!

Every entry gets better and better!

Jay · Post by **Jay** » Mon Jul 02, 2007 12:55 am

Just made it! Sorry about the crappy photos, but here's my entry. This is completely scratch built from plastic stock, metal and foam for the tires. The barrel also slides back like a recoil.

WOW! Everything I've seen so far is amazing, but damn that's one sweet 25pdr!

warhawker · Post by **warhawker** » Mon Jul 02, 2007 9:59 am

1958Zelda, V2 Man and Jay those are WAY cool. I too am blown away by you guys and what we have been able to create!

V2 MAN · Post by **V2 MAN** » Mon Jul 02, 2007 8:17 pm

Thanks warhawker. Great job all of you

KAMIKAZE · Post by **KAMIKAZE** » Mon Jul 02, 2007 9:10 pm

Alright guys I have a decision. This contest was the best one yet and also the closest. I really had a hard time deciding between the top 2 projects. Attention to detail was incredible guys. It was very very close and I flip flopped between the two a few times. The winner is: War hawker and his Hummel. He won by a hair. Jay your 25 pdr was great and as usual very well done. Grognard, you need to be working for 21st or Admiral. Your Sig-33 was very well done and the volume of work you did for this contest
surprised me. Spudkopf, the m-247 was very nice, especially the gun. V2man, I liked your gun. I think it would look great in a concrete emplacement. Thank all of you for participating in this contest. There will be more to come in the future. Warhawker I need you to pm me your full name, address, and number where you can be reached. Do you prefer Red Lobster or Olive Garden? Thanks again everyone.

Mark

Dammit! *kicks the bucket over*. Just kidding great going guys, Warhawker - hats off to you and a cold beer for ya too

. It was when I saw your pics I thought "damn" and it certainly is a nice ride. I'm glad alot more people entered this one and reckon every single guy who built for this contest should band together and start our own company! Oh and thanks Kamikaze for another great comp

Wow I am blown away!! Thank you KAMIKAZE for all of your effort in putting this contest together. I knew that getting into this that the competition would be stiff since I know our board members are very gifted and talented in the creations that they come up with. I am humbled beyond words.
It is contests like these that should open up manufactures eyes on what possibilities we the public/fans want and what we are willing to do to make our own concepts reality!
Thanks again, everyone!

Razor17019 · Post by **Razor17019** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 7:37 am

KAMIKAZE,
Thanks for putting up the prises for this contest and bringing out all the artistic flair our boardmembers have.

GREAT JOB to everyone who participated!
Congrads to Warhawker!

TKO-
Could it be possible to post the pics of the participants on the 21st Century Website? I know 21st Century didn't have envolvement in this contest, but it would be nice to show off to them and the rest of world what can be made.
