Possible contests for 2005

[jflis]

I am considering two new contests (in addition to the DOM) for 2005. The contests would run for 3 months (1 quarter) with one beginning in January and another in April. If popular enough, I would do something similar for July and October...

One idea would be a Deuce-Bash contest where you send in your modified Deuce's Wild. The recent thread about the USS Deuce is a great example, as is the Nike-Deuce, etc, etc, way too many to list

ANother would be a Skins contest for the A.C.M.E. Spitfire. David Urbanek commented, while building his (in the form of a Broke Brant II (after seeing the Mercury Deadstone skins on our site)) that the A.C.M.E. Spitfire was a perfect canvas for such rocket parodies as:

Whacked Corporal
Splatriot
Dishonest John
Irisk
ASP Crack
and even:
Splaturn V
Gemini Frighten

I nearly peed when I read this list in his note on ROL! LOL

So, anyway, what are your thoughts? do we need another contest? Either of these strike your fancy? Something else?

Thoughts and opinions wanted

Can you say "ASP Crack" on TV?

 

[sandman]

LOL!

Jim, THAT list is gonna be hard to top!

Maybe...the Russian Sock-off Launcher

 

[rstaff3]

I voted for the Deuce Bash but why not do both...it's gonna be a long year

I cracked up when I saw that list too!

 

[jflis]

I probably will do both, in fact if I can come up wiht ideas I may do a new one each quarter next year.

Perhaps a Midnight Express and a CAUTION rocket skin contest to make a total of 4 contests...

[jflis]

Well, it is crystal clear that an ACME skin contest will have judging points for a name. That's firm! LOL

 

[lalligood]

Since it seems that scale rocket names have been all but exhausted, try these TV/movie inspired names on for size:

Starship Dent-erprise
DIE Fighter
Colonial Vapor

 

[GL-P]

How about a DW with an ACME skin?

One more:

Nike Hurturknees

Sorry, I had to!

 

[Hospital_Rocket]

How about this for a variation:

A one month contest to come up with the best Spitfire name. then a two week speed build to come up with a design follows the name.

Interesting idea
