MOTM Themes for 2015 - updated 6/23

those are some great ideas to start. how about a beater. like you see in most major cities. there about 20-30 yrs old but still drivable. there different than the rust buckets.

how about something with a small engine? i.e. garden tractor,lawn mower,old gas tractor,generator etc

Great ideas everyone. A VW is a VW no matter what car, truck or van it is. Santa, you don't have to wait until 2015 for those. Both of those themes are coming up in a couple of months.

I like this. A go kart would be fun. I built one when I was around 12, used a blower for the 5hp motor lol.

I'm down for anything. We'll vote next month in case some of you want to get started already. Lol

How about a period correct build? Be it lowrider, hot rod, jalopy racer?

It may not work for a MOM contest, but my thought was the builder would decide what they were building then decide a time period in which to build as accurate as possible.

For example: let's say I want to build a hot rod for my entry and I chose a duece coupe, then I decided I want to build it 1950's style. I would be restricted to using parts that were available prior to 1960, or in other words nothing that was available in the 1:1 world before 1959.

I hope that makes at least a little sense and gives a better explanation lol.

Jbailey, i like the idea but it could be difficult to judge especially when the members are the judges and everyone has different views and ideas. Part of the reason for themes is to keep the builds the same so that its easier to judge. If one guy builds a pro street fully detailed, someone builds a boat fully detailed and another builds a plain fully detailed it is hard to pick the best one. Thats why we ask that everyone build pro street so its apples to apples.

Now on the other hand it sounds like you are right in there with Iceman and his decade challenge ! Right now it is 60's anyway you want. My understanding is the winner will get to pick the next decade ( 50's, 70's, 80's ....... ) so perhaps you would be happiest if 50's were next !

The cat's outta the bag! smileyCAELY0UD_zps3cc8a166 That will be part of the prize. More to come on that.

These themes aren't set in stone yet. That's why we're doing this. To get all the ideas you guys have. We'll obviously have to narrow it down.

I like the idea of super stock cars. Those factory and non factory super stock cars were something to see in their day. You have Chevy's, Dodge's, Pontiac's, Plymouth's, Old's and Buick's. Oh yeah, and Ford's. running-around-smiley-emoticon This way, everyone can get in on the builds with their favorite car. Just a thought. Dr Peeko

How about a redneck theme. any vehicle will do just dress it up to look redneck. pretty easy and cheap to do with wat most of us already have on hand. After all we all have a little red neck in us.

I'm adding them to the list folks. Keep 'em coming.

I like "Replica of a hotwheels"! I hope that includes Johnny's and other 1/64th's as well. I already have several to choose from.

aristoi can you share some pictures I think I am getting it but not sure !!
