** Build of the Month Contest - June 2018 ** - Winner - shodog

[DennisM]

I see four votes on a simple car that came out of a 3D printer in 2018 - I think this is very disrespectful to the real builds.
This is a vintage rc RACECAR forum not a show facility for 3D printers.

Please do not think that I´m crying over lack of votes on my own build

Lots of amazing builds this month, but Shodog's rail stands above the rest for me.

A self-designed, vintage-inspired car for me totally has its place here. So does my non-race (but vintage!) car

C'mon Dennis!

It’s a bit border line if you’re a purist I reckon. My replica has a lot of printed parts as well and the whole chassis is also modern. You could also argue that these parts were never available etc. But anyway, we already have difficulties to find 10 entries each month and there is nothing at stake so let’s take it easy. Or maybe run a poll?

The title of the competition is "Build of the month" not "vintage build of the month" I'd say enter what you like , it will or will not get votes depending on the skill and craftsmanship of the build judged by the tastes of forum members and we are all vintage nuts ! , no need for upset .
Ultimately 3d printing is going to be the future of vintage , we all want that completely original car in mint condition but it becomes too prescious to drive and it sits on a shelf ! Half the joy is in driving these cars and 3d printing gives us a limitless supply of spare parts , at the moment our NIP parts are found in boxes at the back of closing down model shops , these will run out ,3d printed parts will not run out .

To slow mate! I'm already there, hiding out in Asso_Man's trash bin.

Guys, there is actually a whole camping site on my square and the police had to evacuate with fire hoses. Please stop coming all the good stuff is gone!
