” MascaratumB ” :beer: Thank You, I’m checking them out now :+1:

I needed to see the previous competition, so far they have Great Imagination. :beer:

I would love to enter the contest for the first time. I have some very interesting things in mind but there is too much to figure out to have it done in this timeframe… And I will probably dont have enough time anyway.

I will follow this, and good luck to the participants.

:+1: :beer: :sunglasses:

Yes, hopefully you’ll see that even the lack of a reflector doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t enter. :wink:

Morning bump.

Is a sign of a healthy circulatory system, from what I hear.

:+1: :smiley: :smiley:

Careful FMC. That guy’s trouble! :smiling_imp:

Oh oh, he has a keyboard! :open_mouth:
Run for your lives :smiling_imp:

(and take a flashlight with you :stuck_out_tongue: )

Bump.

Bumpity-bump, MRsDNF. I’m mentally sorting through the 2 or 3 ideas I came up with. The one that seems most likely to come out on top seems to involve more assorted wood pieces than metal. :laughing:

I will open a build thread when I decide which way to go.

But then here comes Johann…

Hmmm… hmm… :expressionless:
I entered once in 2014, 1x AAA angle light, and i hardly finished, that is, the light worked for about an hour, and then a short circuit developed, and the tiny TIR dedomed a 219B for the second time…
I still have the parts somewhere… :person_facepalming:
The build thread has no more pictures…

I was gonna join the scratch build contest again, but can’t think of anything special and / or doable…
So i might join, but only when i have a good idea.

Sub-ed.

I’ve had stuff rattling around my head since seeing this thread. I’m starting to hone down my idea. Won’t be anything ground breaking but once I collect enough parts to make a start I’ll open a thread :disguised_face:

We have 1st build thread live! Go and check it out here! Good job gchart!

Ps. I noticed Jack has got a keyboard. :person_facepalming: Bad things may happen. Hopefully Mr. Admin is awake and will ban him if/when needed… :stuck_out_tongue:

FMC is a lightbuilder and an entertainer :smiley:

Let’s see what happens when he pushes the button :smiling_imp:

I’m sure Jack will fill FMC’s head with ideas.
