Please post your finished photos here. Thank you to all that participated whether you finished your build or not. I will give Jimmy and Jeff G. a reminder in a few days that they turned it into a contest and they need to pick their favorite.
I finished the EXPO 2016 and Microscale Models Dyer's Hardware kits but failed to complete FSM Stuffy's kit.

Hi Vilius:
WOW!!!! What can I say. Both kits are very well done. Great colors and very light weathering.

I also built CCK's Lucama Fish Camp #1. I used the original kit to scratch build four additional structures.

The five structures were slightly kit bashed to fit my layout.

All very nice builds. Phil
My challenge entry is the Hilltown Entrepreneurs SRMW kit. The structures are finished (except for the garage doors which need to be added after it's on it's diorama). I decided to rename the auto repair business after our resident vehicle expert and challenge starter, Raymo.
Jeff
The country store and it's gas pump island. The challenge was (is) great, so many wonderful builds!
Jeff
Very nice build Jeff. :) 8)

Here are a couple shots of my challenge build the C.C. Crow Church staged on my layout in a similar setting to where I plan to use it. I'm not ready to finish the scenery yet in the final area. I will add pictures to my build thread when the church is finally located on the mountain side and the final detailing is completed.

Never finished mine either,,,, didn't get to the resin pour for the water... Anyway, this is what I got done:
Here's my Dock House at Cundy Harbor finished model. Since it's going on John's (Cuse) layout I didn't have to spend time on a diorama. ;)

I did straighten out the crooked pilings before I turned the keys over to John. ;D
I also managed to get the two boats that came with Cundy Harbor finished. :D

Still working on the Boat House but my goal, for the Build Challenge, was to get the Dock House done. :P
Spectacular. I could look over the Dock House everyday and find some new point of interest or interesting finish you've applied. Really good stuff. I look forward to "planting" them in some finished scenery.
John

I'm bumping this thread so anyone that hasn't posted photos of their finished models can before the end of the weekend. After that Groovey and JD (If he ain't still puking) can decide who they want to award a prize to. Thanks for everyone's participation, even if it was in spirt, and THANKS again Jimmy for the T-shirts and having this forum so we can show off. Now what do you guys think about a "Summer Challenge?"
Bump again. You gain an extra 24 hours for the loss of the forum yesterday.
Jeff Grove wanted me to let everybody know that he chose SteveCuster's FSM Water Tank build as his favorite in the challenge. He was having trouble getting on the forum earlier today but I think he finally was able to get on. Congratulations Steve.
Congratulations Steve. An Excellent build.
Jim
Thanks Jeff, I really appreciate the compliment.
Thanks Raymo, Thanks Jim.
Congratulations, Steve! Well deserved!

Thanks Everyone
Yes,
Congratulations on the wonderful build and selection.
Tom ;D
My Pick:
This wasn't easy. But as a guy who has (Had?) a layout that Dave Frary loaded with plastic kits, I can appreciate them. Especially when you can't even tell they're plastic. Well Done Matt.
Congratulations to everyone.
