Great contest idea. I have a project I've been planning for a while now.

[@JCsRiptrack]

Looking forward to seeing what you have to offer!

[@RonsTrainsNThings]

I am excited to see the entries. I expect we will see some fantastic weathering. Thanks, John, for hosting.

[@JCsRiptrack]

Thanks for the privilege and letting me host this one Ron, and I'm quite excited to see what people have in store!

[@JCsRiptrack]

Thanks Marcel! I'm happy to be hosting it this year, and getting a chance to share it across the community is great. Thank you for doing that!

[@MuttModeler]

Very cool idea I might join in 😁

[@JCsRiptrack]

Go for it!

[@Grainexpress]

Would love to enter but summer is a very busy time on the farm. I did do a C&EI 1903 depot this past winter and the modeling date was 1986.

Im glad youre going to be hosting the 3rd Down and Dirty contest. Im not sure, maybe I missed it. What are the dates the contest will run?

[@CNJmodeler]

A project that you started after May 5 2021 and ends midnight Hawaiian time on Sept 6 2021.

[@JoeG-firehousewhiskey]

@@CNJmodeler oh hahaha i caught the hawaiian time but not the start. Thanks!

[@JCsRiptrack]

Hi Joe, I stumbled over my words, and should have said May 15th, but I'll take May 5th(ish). Either way, you can start anytime!

[@SRJacobProductions]

Pity I started weathering a structure for practice about a week ago

[@JCsRiptrack]

Did you take a picture of it at the start? Email me and we can talk :)

[@SRJacobProductions]

@@JCsRiptrack nah I didnt; but i did just buy a dpm kit that I was thinking of kitbashing with. Email sent.

[@Christiane069]

Please send me the ruling for the contest DDCW3. Cheers

[@JCsRiptrack]

Hi Christiane069 - Just email me at [e-mail] so I have your email to send it to!

[@ralphrenzetti22]

I’m in can I enter, John?

[@JCsRiptrack]

Hm... should I take that up with the judges? ;) Great to have you on board!

[@OahuRailway]

Ha! I want to enter as well but know you guys are tough!!

[@JCsRiptrack]

You're welcome to do so Neil! I'm glad to have Ralph with me on the judging side of the podium :)

[@OahuRailway]

@@JCsRiptrack thanks. Ralph and I are friends and I chat with Ron online so was actually wondering if you need me to submit under a pen name.

[@JCsRiptrack]

Hi Neil, I'm not too worried. Email me and we can talk more if you like!

[@tmlafrance]

Never heard anyone pronounce "decal" (dee'-cal) as "dekal."

[@JCsRiptrack]

Welcome to an almost uniquely Canadian pronunciation. We are aware that we are different... but we own it :)

[@tmlafrance]

@@JCsRiptrack ah, Canadian, eh. Makes sense now.😉

[@HiVoltish]

Congrats on the 10K!
