My Wright Cyclone-powered Godzilla's Go-Cart won a completely unexpected Silver.

Loved this! Well done! One of my favorites in the contest room!

I put these in the workbench thread, but I will put them here as well.








And here is a shot of my awards shelves. I need to figure out how to reconfigure them now.

Having to reconfigure your wonderfest awards shelf sounds like a good problem to have

. . . And here is a shot of my awards shelves. I need to figure out how to reconfigure them now.

See - if it were ME . . .

• . . . yeah - like I'd ever get an award for anything other than "The Clubhouse member with most posts that is also half English/Scottish" (there was an official ceremony & presentation - you may have missed it) . . .

• • . . . I'd HAVE to have a small photo of each connected buildup attached to (or alongside) each standee/medal/trophy.

Congrats Trev - and the same goes out to everyone on the thread


(* EDIT *) In case anyone is getting confused - that is not the back of my head in Trev's "trophy room" contemplating certain "opportunistic appropriation" activities.

Here is how I display my bronze medals.
I put a pic of the kit and the medal in a small shadow box frame.

And on a related note, I preferred the 2023 silver/gold award engraved glass cubes over the very large 2024 gold/silvers trophy’s.
The cubes are easier to display beside the kit.

Nicely done Joe . . . although you have a lot more awards than those you show! (including a couple that found their way to Vancouver - viewtopic.php?p=1390202#p1390202 )

Nice display there Joe. I like that.

That's too much work.
I have a photo of each kit with it's corresponding award. As well as a spreadsheet tracking all that for anyone who may need the reference in the future.
I also write on the back of the merit awards to note which kit it was for.
I just checked. I have entered 107 kits in the last twenty one years. I have gotten 41 awards in that time. Way too many to get too fancy with the display .

107 entries and 41 awards !!! Wow !

[barad_dur]

Hey Ian, oh yeah, I had forgotten about sending those award examples. Happy to help out!

[tay666]

107 entries and 41 awards !!! Wow !

Yeah, well, 30 of those are merits. And half of those were from 21-23 where I don't personally believe they mean much.
Not to be a dick, but I kind of felt those years they were handing out merits like penny-candy. Almost everything on the tables got a merit if it didn't medal.
So I don't give them much weight at all and treat them like consolation prizes.
I was so glad to see a return to standards for the merits this year. Now they mean something again. Close, but not quite good enough for a medal.

Trev - Any way you look at it, a .383 Batting Average (41 / 107) is Hall of Fame Material!!!
