The development team will pick the winners. How to Enter: To enter just post your screen here in this thread and note what category you are entering.

Please no wild schemes. Swastikas are not allowed. Please use a modified decal or none at all. We are sorry for this historical limitation, but the politics and laws of this issue are not worth the hassle.

Jason_Williams 17350 Posted April 24, 2015 Guys, I know you are just trying to be encouraging, but please do not comment on pics. I just want to see entries (easier to collect and judge winners) not commentary and quoting which wastes space and make this thread a mess. Just let the entries speak for themselves. Off to a good start! Thanks, Jason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
