Scale Model Build Contest - Round 2 Winners

We had a total of 44 builders sign up for the Minitruckinweb.com 2009 Scale Model Build Contest, Round 2, held March 11-May 11, 2009.

Although only 13 builders completed their models, 19 participated but were unable to meet the deadline, and 12 weren't able to start. Entrants for Round 2 were allotted two months time to build the scale model vehicle(s) of their choice and post progress weekly via the Mini Truckin' forums. Although the finished models varied in style, detail, and fabrication, they all were the results of many hours of hard work. Of the 13 builders who completed their models, the Top 5 (in no particular order) plus a Runner-Up were announced on Minitruckinweb.com. Special thanks to Rick from Scale Dreams for continuing to offer 20% off to Round 2 builders, and for rewarding the top finishers! Stay tuned for Round 3 coming your way soon.
