    March BRC Face Off

    Well, looks like we need to have a run off to see who walks away with this months booty! Since the 'poll' option is limited to 7 entries and we had 9 the voting was split into 2 polls..I think it only fair that the top placed entries in each poll square off..Unless and until I hear from Layne and he decides to award 2 grand prizes we will go with it!

    So here for your consideration are the 2 top choices from the two polls:

    JAL3's USS Atlantis

    Gillard's Twin Jet TR5 Fighter

    Please vote, this is for a limited time only!

    Absolutely!

    As Captain Jean Luc Picard would say: "Make it so!" So it is!

    Congratulations go out to John(JAL3) and Gillard!! Those are a couple of mighty fine looking rockets!

    And as El Cheapo says: A build thread is not only expected but reqiured! Well, not really reqiured, but we would all REALLY like to see them built..

    Just a word to the wise: Keep a sharp eye on the Kraken cause it has a tendency to 'fly away' in the winds on anything above an Estes E9! Don't ask me how I know..

    The King Kraken prefers to "drive away" in the bed of a hoodlum's pickup.

    Ask me how I know and I'll have to study all that forgiveness stuff over again.

    Thanks everyone.

    There will be a build thread when I get it. Its going to be...different.

    My prize arrived from Layne today. I am not going to divulge its nature just yet. Rest assured, though, all of you fans of the classics will be pleased.

    Thanks Layne!
