I do have a problem with the "Shake and Take" clinic. Greg Martin
along with Jim Singer, John Greedy and Doc Denny (and maybe others)
spend a great deal of time and their own money to put out a fine
unique kit. They allow for 25-30 participants, yet each year only to
have just a hand full of completed models brought back each year for
display. I would be discouraged with the meager results, but to those
guys's credit they are very upbeat and are busy planning next year's
model.
This should be -easy- to fix:
Require 2009 attendees registering for the 2010 "Shake and Take" to submit a photo of / and bring their 2009 clinic model.
My guess is that some additional seats would open-up...

For those trying to game the system... the best they could do would be every-other year's clinic.
Just a thought...

Quite a few, I'd say. I was underwhelmed with the results. I had an unlettered one, because I had
a paint mishap, which will be fixed.

I'm hoping the Shake'n'Take crowd will be doing some checking in during the year to promote progress
on the kits. The '09 kit offers a lot of variations in paint and details, so it will be interesting
to see who does what.

I also liked Mont Switzer's coining of "Cocoakit" for these kits. But this is Greg's show, and
Shake'n'Take it is.

If I could make it to Florida, I could bring several "Shake and Take" cars. Of course none of them are quite finished, but I'm willing to display them as is. Since I can't make it to Prototype Rails, maybe I should bring them to Naperville this year. And maybe I'll have at least one finished.

There were still seats available the morning of the clinic. We had a
freind come down for the day who wasn't aware of the clinic. I asked
Mike Brock if any were available and he said yes and to get together
with Armand to get set up.

Speaking of photos, has anyone posted photos of the meet yet?
