Sweet i'm a judge. And btw do you guy's have a set date for when the coasters are due so that way this doesn't drag on for a year? Can't wait to see these VV models, i know personally that they can get preaty sweet when built right.

We will have to agree on a date.

Since I don't have a lot of micro pieces, I am using regular pieces for supports and Slim Track.

Lol, DJMK, me too,
but can we make this a slightly longer contest? a couple of months maybe?
cause then we can all build good ones, and i have school starting tommorow and im working on design :P
and then during 2 months i can buy serpents spiral, or something,
eh?

I rank it as: (no offense to anyone) [this is my opinion]
DJMK - Highest chance, but close,
RCManiac31 - Close 2cnd / 1st
Minimoggi - Underdog and N00b.. lol

I think RCmanic31 will win over DJMK with him in a close second.

I think a reasonable dead line would be The end of June, start of July just so you have enough time to build quality coasters and don't have to worry about rushing.

I've never built a big VV before. I usually just make little things. But with about %80 of all my pieces towards it, I can probably get something good.
