The Rox Box would be interested in them. We would come get them and put then to good use in our facility.

Sorry it didn't have your number to call... so I posted here

Thanks

where ever they go, they have to be available for a special event next Aug (details later but I promise everyone that reads this will want to be part of it) and they have to be able to be picked up for next years Ihobby... And of course any damage done to them during the usage time (damage happens no matter what you do) has to be fixed or returned in time so they can be fixed for the show.

I would much prefer to keep them local but, I am not opposed to them being used by rock box. The decision will have to be made at Ihobby because I dont have room at my house for them now to be stored, they will have to go to the "farm" asap if no home is found/decided on.

rear ramp and display stand (sponsored by cowrc)


TV stand for our comp video that will be playing the entire show


for those interested, the access ramps, tv stand and display stand are all coated in a material called "Deck Restore". We found it at Homedepot for $40 for 2 gallons, it provides a very rock like finish and can be used to hardcoat foam. A ton cheaper and better than bed liner.

The scaler piece (code name dangerous drives) is topcoated and ready to go. Ive had to have it on and off the trailer a few times so its developed some cracks but to me looks great.



The finally waterproof waterfall... You can also see what the access ramps look like. By using the ramps we can get the trucks from the ground to the piece making the piece more useful.

and the show sched:



Once the show begins I will start a new thread with coverage of the show including some new product announcements (as I am given permission to publish them).

Thanks to some material and rock donations its only $1293. Could have been much worse. I just want to thank TEKIN once again for giving us the seed money to get the project started.

The pathetic attempt we had last year cost us something around $1000 but we didnt do well at keeping receipts. This year I can tell you where each and every penny went.
