Stonebridge Models / ZCS Tabor Cabin Contest

Contest closes at Midnight PST Friday May 4, 2012
Prizes will be awarded in two categories:
1) Best Bash - you must use 90% of the kit, but you can cut or slice the kit in any way you wish
2) Best Original Concept Build - don't forget to use the included weathering agent!

Here is another link that shows a little more of the mine process. Plum-bummin’ in Leadville

The Matchless Mine was one of the very few mines that had used ore cars. When Karin and I were working on this project the 'history' alone captured my attention. Since the NZSC was in Denver, we wanted to associate our next contest with the 2012 NZSC. I think this is a perfect little kit with a colored resin ore car (created by Mr. David K Smith). And the kit includes a brown artist chalk weathering agent. If you have never tried chalk weathering, this is a perfect time.

I do want to add that on my Z CD "Three Stooges" entry, I used brown artist chalk for the dirt hole and pile. I also used some on the porch roof on the house and some on the shed. I am far from being perfect, but it did turn out well for my capabilities.

I would like to inform everyone the Tabor Cabin Contest has been extended for one week. Entrie deadline of Friday May 11th, 2012 is now in effect. With NZSC and a few other minor issues, we needed to move the entry deadline back a week.

Thank you, John

Well, here are some pictures of my entry. The really tough part of the kit was getting the ore car out of the ziplock baggy! This kit is simple and clean with many possibilities to it.










Okay, here are my entry photos. Contest ends midnight PST tonight on 5/11/2012.
Good Luck!
