How many of you have seen Jairus' Artwork in MCM and thought to yourself, 'I need to build that'? Well here's your chance. Yesterday at the PNW Model Car Fest was the official kick-off of the Jairus Watson Artwork Challenge. The idea behind the challenge came from a similar challenge that is going on over on the Kustom Kemps in Miniature Forum with the artwork of Keith Weesner. I have had the good fortune of calling Jairus a friend as well as a fellow club member for the past 15 or so years and felt that something along these lines was do the artwork we all have enjoyed in magazines for years. I presented the idea to Jairus and Gregg Hutchings and got both their buy-in on the project, of course Gregg's response was, "glad I thought of it."
So, here is the premise behind the Jairus Watson Artwork Challenge. 50 pieces of Jairus' artwork were selected, each given a number. Each print was sealed in an envelope with the corresponding number on the outside of the envelope. Then a blind draw followed at yesterdays Model Car Fest. Those who chose to participate in the Challenge drew an envelope, the artwork in that envelope is what they will get to build over the next 12 months. The big reveal will be at the 2011 PNW Model Car Fest with an award given to the build that best replicates the artwork they started with. Don't let the fact that you can't attend the 2011 PNW Model Car Fest stop you from participating in the Challenge as there will also be an award for the Challenge build that best replicates the artwork. A panel of SABA members will determine the best replicated build from photos submitted.
So, here is where you the members of the SABA forum come into play. If you weren't able to attend the Model Car Fest yesterday and you would like to participate in the Challenge here is your opportunity. There are still envelopes available crying out for someone to take them on as a Challenge build. PM me your email address or your snail mail address and I will get one of the remaining pieces of Artwork to you. Obviously, the sooner you get your piece of Jairus' Artwork the sooner you can get started on your part of the Challenge build. I will also send you the email address to submit the photos of your completed builds if you aren't able the attend next years Model Car Fest on March 26th, 2011.
Let's see how well we can showcase Jairus' Artwork as well as our building skills.
Here are the assignments following yesterdays blind draw:
Dave Melcher - '65 Mercury Comet Convertible
Galen Allen - '38 Woodster Woody
Mike Kerns - '47 Chevy Fleetline-Black
Chris Millar - Red, White and Blue '32 3 WIndow Coupe
