Amen! That's why I have been trying to stay out of Masters for as long as possible. I actually like placing once in a while!

Congrats Stik! I'd take third place.

Re: IPMS OC 2015
Blacksheep, I am quite happy any time I place in that crowd. Tough competition that spurs you to do better. I don't build for prizes, and I do build for myself. But it feels good to get some recognition for the efforts.

Well deserved recognition too. That was a tremendous build. Way to go Carlos!

Re: IPMS OC 2015
Thank you Mark. It was great seeing you there. As well as your latest builds! I still say your Atomic Annie is way better than that Griffin.

Re: IPMS OC 2015
outstanding work! Congratulations!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: IPMS OC 2015
Thanks Carlos! I agree with you there, but I'm not too worried about it. After all, this is mostly a popular vote type of contest with about half the guys only doing any IPMS-style judging to keep in practice. The rest "vote their hearts"; i.e. what they like the most. While Jim's Gripen isn't as good as Annie is; I have to commend him for some tremendous improvement since he joined us.
Thanks again, and I wish I'd had the time to go to Denny's afterward; it's been so long since I've been able to do that. Hopefully next month.
