By NANCY LINGLEY Left to right, the overall winner, Doug Maerz's 1967 Chevelle; 2nd in the adult class, a baby blue 1909 Lozier entered by Lori Laybourne, the only female competitor; 1st in the adult class, Ross Berky's Buick GSX, dis- played over a mirror to show the chassis; an entry from Colin Briggenman. "It's a good example of "kit bashing", mixing parts from different kits,” sald Krahn. "The engine comes from a bigger scale kit and tires from a truck kit. He used his imagination and came up with a custom version of a Charger." ¢ Sun Editor They come in all shapes, ages, and sizes — and so do those who create them. There were a total of 18 entries in the West's 2nd Model Challenge. The bulk of the entries, 11, were in the Senior cat- egory (ages 12-16); five adults entered, and two juniors (11 . and under). “The price is somewhat prohibitive for the younger kids," said Dennis Krahn, the West's employee who organized the event. He added that the minimum for a car model kit was just over ten dollars and a truck could be as much as $30-$35, “that's why cars are more popular. A car kit will have approxi- mately 110 parts, a track maybe as many as 300." There's a lot to be said for model-building said Krahn. "It helps develop patience, dexterity, and detailing skills. Model building is a channel for creativity with endless paint schemes and customizing possibilities. Models can be as complex as the builder chooses," he said. "And it's a quiet and relaxing altemative to video games and electronic entertain- ment. Besides, it's a great opportunity for parents and their kids to do something together. Krahn said he and his 11-year-old son build models togeth- er but, "my enthusiasm is much higher than my son's,” he admitted. "He'll catch up to me sooner or later." Although the competition on Saturday was for car and truck models only, a variety of model subjects are available including aircraft, boats, figures, and fantasy creations. “And there are all kinds of accessories," he noted. "You can get tool kits, figures, like drivers or people working under the cars — the Japanese always throw in pretty girls. I find that older people build car models of cars that were popular when they were young, and the kids build more current cars.” Krahn encourages model builders to bring their completed models in to the store for others to see. He has built a glass display case so models can be shown in safety. I helps the kids to see the real thing, not just a picture," he noted. Prizes were given to the top three entries in each category. First place received $25 and a trophy, second and third prizes were trophies only. Entries were indeed on a 50 point system: 10-points forassembly (the fit of parts, excess giue ots); 10 points for detailing (added features, detail painting); 10 points ‘or finish (paint quality, decals); and 20 points for overall impression. Attention to detail is the key," said Krahn. "Someone who takes a chance on customizing’ will have a good chance even if it doesn't turn out perfectly." Mihen all was said and done, and judged, these were the results: Junior: 1st, Ian Idle, 10, 1970 Mustang; 2nd, Robert Walk- er, 11, 1932 Ford Senior: 1st, Doug Maerz, 15, 1967 Chevelle; 2nd, Shawn Von Diebitsch, 16, funny car; 3rd, Zadac Zappavigna, 15, 1957 Chev Adult: Ist, Ross Berky, Buick GSX; 2nd, Lori Laybourme, 1909 Lozier,; Dave Lang, auto wrecker. Doug Maerz's entry, the winner in the Senior division was deemed best overall of the three categories. “He cut the trunk open and put in a hinge,” said Krahn. “That could have wrecked the whole model if he did it wrong.” Youngest competitor an Idle was seen leaving the compe- tition area, which just happened to be in the model section of PUBLICATIONS 1.

Always scrape chromeplating and paint where i parts are to be glued together. . Keep a sharp blade in your X-acto knife for clean- er cuts. . Sand the tread on tires to give a more realistic look. . Use a good quality 5/0 or 10/0 pointed brush to pick out details on dashboards and for tire letter- ing. . Use a coat hanger, bent and taped inside the body, so you can hold and tum the model with one hand while you spray with the other. 6. Use decal-set to get large decals to fit snugly. — Dennis * Dennis Krahn, left, presents 1st place Senior trophy 3 to Ross Berky.-
