TRAXXASFANATIC challenge

Traxxasfanatic · 04-30-2008, 09:37 AM

okay first let me say that i personally got approval from mesogog to post this and he also told me where to put this. now that we got that out of the way i am going to have a contest/challenge. it does involve power rangers and there is a prize involved. before you submit any info the prize is the solar streak megazord and the titan megazord sets. both are still in packaging and will be sent to the winner of the contest. now if you live with your parents you must have their permission to receive the prize. now that we got all that out of the way here is the contest:

this is a picture of an rc truck body. it is for the same truck in my sig and avatar. well as you can see this body is pretty beat up and has been retired from service. i have the corvette body and another one for the truck. they wont last long. now some might be asking what does this have to do with the challenge. the answer is this. it has everything to do with the challenge. the challenge is to come up with a power rangers paint scheme for a new body for the truck. now it must be something to honor all the ranger teams and all the rangers. so therefore something like a tommy design is out. this is what you have to work with:

it is a brand new unpainted body i will be getting for the truck. it isnt even ready to set on the truck due to not being trimmed and painted. the body is made of lexan which requires the use of certain paints. i will provide the paint and the body. i will also be sending a test body for the winner to use to get a feel for painting lexan. so with all that being said here are the rules:
1. must be a power rangers design
2. msut be appropriate to display here. no adult material or foul language will be permitted
3. cannot be focused on one team or one ranger
4. before prize is sent out if you live with parents you must have their permission to receive the prize
5. no putting all the ranger names on the body (too many)
6. all entries must be submitted to this thread and msut be either a fully colored sketch or somethign similar to paint by numbers. in other words no submitting the design only in text.
7. only one person here is forbidden to compete. and that is me
8. all entries must be received by july 1st
9. any extensions will be considered if the reason is deemed important enough then that person will be given an extension
9. any extensions will be handled differently depending on reasons given
10. the final selection will be left to me and possibly one or two others
11. if you would liek to help judge entries then you will not be allowed to submit entries
12. i wil lonly have others to help judge if there are alot of entries.

okay i think i have made everything clear enough. anyways get to creating and remember this is somethign to do for pride, fun, and a prize. there wil lbe no flaming of others or other entries. if you decide to make fun of another person entry or be mean to others then you will not be allowed to be part of the competition. if you have any questions feel free to speak and i now declare this contest open. you have 2 months from todays date to july 1st.

Personally I love this idea and the fact you get some cool prizes. I know many of you out there have some skills. And 2 months is PLENTY of time.

So, who all is in on this?! It's always worth a shot. Even if some of you think you may not have the talent, prove yourself wrong! Now get crackin'.
