2010 Spring Bash Challenge - ezdays - 01-31-2010 Here we go, a new challenge based on a suggestion from Nachoman. The challenge: Take a car, old or new, (the junkier, the better) and bash it into something else. It’s that simple. For those who are more energetic, you can do this to more than one car. The only restriction there is that each car that is bashed must be a different type than the others you bashed. Here's how it's going to work:
The challenge starts on Feb 1, and will run until April 1.Dependent on the entries, we may break them into categories as to scale or car type. That will be determined around the time the challenge ends. A poll will open after April 1, so that we can pick a winner. As usual, there are no real prizes, just bragging rights and a certificate from Big Blue showing that you won one of the top three spots. Good luck Re: 2010 Spring Bash Challenge - Gary S - 02-03-2010 Don, after I reread the rules, I'm not sure if my project counts as "Take a car, old or new, (the junkier, the better) and bash it into something else." I'm starting with a boxcar and ending with a boxcar. I suppose, technically, a non-runnable junker changed into a runnable car is "something else" than what I started with?

I'm guessing if you started with a boxcar and did what we in the hobby consider "bashing" (that could be a repaint, rename, new trucks, smaller, bigger, more doors...), let's just say that it qualifies. I'd be hard to take a boxcar and turn it into a tank car. So yes, your project qualifies as far as I'm concerned. Re: 2010 Spring Bash Challenge - Gary S - 02-03-2010 Sounds good to me. Re: 2010 Spring Bash Challenge - Puddlejumper - 02-04-2010 Thanks for clarifying that, as for my project I wanna pull a Ralph... i.e. turn some junk box cabeese into operating B&P cabin cars. He inspired me... LOL Re: 2010 Spring Bash Challenge - Gary S - 02-06-2010 Looks like we have good participation in this contest so far, but there are still quite a few of y'all that need to get in on it! C'mon, let's see what you can do! The more the better. What I am looking forward to is learning a bunch of new tricks and techniques and ideas from watching all these projects go together. It'll be a great leraning tool for all of us. Re: 2010 Spring Bash Challenge - nachoman - 02-06-2010 Gary, i couldn't agree more. Every time we have one of these challenges, it encourages me to tackle a project I have been lazy about, try something I otherwise wouldn't, and learn techniques from other people. I could care less whether I "win" or not. Re: 2010 Spring Bash Challenge - Lester Perry - 02-08-2010 I will have to give this some thought. Oh yeah maybe a stripper car Re: 2010 Spring Bash Challenge - ngauger - 02-08-2010 Kevin - That's the best part of these challenges for me too!!!!

Now I know for sure that I missed out on the golden age of railroading! Wayne Re: 2010 Spring Bash Challenge - Gary S - 02-25-2010 Just wanted to bump this back up. Come on everybody, there is still time to get a project started. Re: 2010 Spring Bash Challenge - Green_Elite_Cab - 02-28-2010 lol, shoot, i didn't notice this contest began, and its already a month in! I'm sure i've got something lying around somewhere.... I'm thinking Catenary car.... i'll have to see what i've got. Re: 2010 Spring Bash Challenge - ocalicreek - 02-28-2010 Yeah, ditto...just noticed this one is off and running a month later. I doubt I'll get anything going since I'm planning the layout...but we'll see. Galen Re: 2010 Spring Bash Challenge - ocalicreek - 03-02-2010 Okay, okay, you got me. After looking through all the entries, I figured the projects I have laying around more than qualify. I had thought about some passenger cars, but really they're not upgrades or bashes, just kit builds, so that'll wait for another day. No, I'll start up a thread and get the workbench cleaned off. Galen Re: 2010 Spring Bash Challenge - torikoos - 03-31-2010 Darn it! I've only just discovered this challenge, and tomorrow is April 1st, not a joke... :-( I am waaaaayyyy too late to start anything. :oops: Will there be a 2010 summer bash challenge? |
