For the
moment I want to keep the guys focused on building the Rock Island car for
the "Bash at the Beach"in January. Greg Martin
I don’t want to come off harsh here, but
shouldn’t those car have been built months ago? With that said, mine’s still in
the box ; )) But, I’ve had an unusual summer. If I were to come to
CCB I’d have the car ready, period.
I participated in a couple of the S-N-T
projects early on and was shocked at how few models returned to the display room
the next year. Yet guys were scrambling to get into the room. My first thought
was that if you didn’t bring back a model you couldn’t join in again till you
did. To me, the whole purpose was to get guys to build models!
Nowadays, with the importers marketing
strategy being what it is I can see the difficultly in assembling parts for a
project. Maybe the project should be chosen from what’s available rather then
what we’d like to have? Why beat your head against the wall?
Either way, it’s noble effort and my hat’s
off to those involved.
