MY NAT'L MODEL CONTEST WINNER APR 2011 - FORD DUMP TRUCK

---WOW! I"m Thankful and Honored that my model was awarded best in local show and then went on to the finalist judging to gain First Place National Winner---(a Weathered Mud Puppy - Dump Truck For Sale Replica) -- This is a slide show of a model that was behind schedule and almost didn't make the show. I was about ready to throw in the towel. Through sheer determination, ....it not only made the show but won First Place and Best in Show---a lesson on not giving up. Other than the mud and rust, the highlights of the truck include, a broken windshield, a headlight hanging by wires, a hanging front tag, a for sale sign and a rusty dump bed. It was a real challenge to build, ....but well worth it in the end. ENJOY!

Wow wow wow wow I can't wait to be on that level I'm a beginner with only four models under my belt

[BurgerChefGuy]

@36mafia540 Thank you! It takes many models to finally get one that works well. You can do the same exact technique on another and not get it to come out the same again. Its frustrating, lol. But, ....its well worth it when it finally all comes together.

@swiftshade100 Don't think I could ever part with it. I really put a lot of myself into it. Its my national winner,...how many of them will I ever have? I'm lucky enough to have had this one.

@slyflight Thanks much, Dan. I'm working on an old abandoned school bus model for the next show. I'm starting early so I don't have the deadline pressure like the last one. I have two others from previous shows that I will do YT videos on, as well.
