OT: Vote for my model Deuce, it's my first contest...

I've entered a model into a contest on the HAMB and since they wouldn't accept this, for not fitting the criteria:





or this:





or even this:





I got creative and entered the following model...
Here's a link to a little builder's challenge on the HAMB...
In celebration of the Ford Deuces' 80 year heritage. I built mine c1962
in 'experimental' met. blue...

Mine is entry #8 and has a hastily finished diorama in some shots. Here is a hint:



Here is another link if you want to see more pictures of the car:

I got a 404-Not Found when I clicked on the link. What the heck were their criteria that they wouldn't accept those three other stunning models?

 

Thanks for checking. The first link opens for me, the one right under the wagons but the one at the bottom of the thread is giving me the same error.
If you follow the first one, it will take you directly to the poll, I posted the second link in a reply post a bit further down that page, ya just need to scroll down past the pictures. I'm guessing the second link is part of the HAMB's internal server and can only be accessed from the 'host' thread(?)

The wagons don't fit the criteria of being a '32 Ford. Not even close... well, other than all have 4 wheels...

 

I voted. #6 is way out in the lead so you need all the help you can get.

Did you copy that from a real 32 from years ago? I almost remember seeing one like it.
Of course their must be a million 32 Fords around now.

 

Voted....
Didn't realize you did models too, Mark. Excellent work.
Those Corvette wheel covers?

 

Thanks kids!

Cat, I did loosely base this on a car I saw at a show here in Nebraska. I think it may have been a '30 model A with a Chevy small block but the color combo is close. I fell for that little Ford.

Krash, those are '59 Cadillac wheel covers with spinner caps. they actually have a ton of detail but my camera is very limited is it's abilities... or is it me? I have a huge stash of
models, I was hoping the kids would get into the hobby and they have to a small degree. I build 'em when I can but my hopes are that these guys will grow to appreciate them and pick up the hobby later in life. That's my optimistic hope.

 

I voted For ya too

 

I voted fer ya your display was better than the rest, as a whole paskage you have the others blowen away... They must be going for the type of car.

 

Thanks fellas. I want you to vote for your favorite though, if it isn't mine, well, so be it...
I'd rather take a no vote then stack votes just cause I'm begging, Ha ha...
There are some nice cars there, I really like the dark rootbeer colored sedan.
The funny thing about the one that's in the lead, other that that guy tends to win em all (he's a
very good builder) is that I was planning to use the same wheels as his and I was thinking of
going with full fenders. Other than color, they'd have been nearly identical. I did end up going
with a Fender version in a way, however, mine is a '61 Strat... painted to match.

(Trivia: when did fender begin painting the Stratocaster in colors rather than using the natural
wood with blended stains?)

 

Some nice work Mark!

 

Thanks Jairus!

 

Another Ervin Masterpiece!
Nice work, Mark!
My vote is in, too.
Joe

 

Ringraziamento, Joe, you rock!

 

Very nice!
