Hi folks, you may have noticed that the Smithsonian thread is gone... PayPal has taken exception to r*ffles, i.e. "gambling".

We're working on an alternative method to finish the job, please stay tuned.

It's a sign from the Gods to just give me the kite and save yourself the hassle

Might almost be worth not buying any more till after the weekend, just to wind Ben up a bit

I don't realy mean that guys, please buy the rest so my number can be drawn, thank you

[Baloo]

How is your breathing Ben, getting better I hope?

[beach]

Yeahhhhhh, I have gotten thru another one and I am glad to have this one behind me.... The world has been driving me
crazy and as we all know that is not a far drive..... Now the big question is when do we pull a winner for the Smithsonian
Kite???????? I'm going to leave that up to you guys do you want to do it A.S.A.P. or wait for a special Christmas drawing.... I also
found out I should have the unfinished skin in the office today some time...... Ben

Wow, that's a hard one- the kid in me says NOW, the adult says wait... the kid is winning though

The world has been driving me crazy and as we all know that is not a far drive.....

Don't worry about crazy, it's not a bad place to be

Ben,
you might as well fabricate-up the Smithsonian kite with an SUL leading edge sleeve now,
and throw in the race frame too 'cause that beauty is coming home to me!

My Zen should be done soon too, . . . you could save me some freight dough as well?

[Baloo]

Now, now, draw it now, right this second, go on draw it now, I dare you, in fact I double dare you, in fact draw it before now, draw it Yesterday, go on, do it, yep, right now. go on.

Then of course you could keep us all holding our breath till Christmas, that is if you are a nasty cruel vindictive Ben.

OK, sensible head on, Ben it is your party, you say when, just make sure it is not TOO long :-)

That is actually a good point. If it is possible, maybe you could hold the skin till we have a winner, they might have a preference in Leading edge?

[awindofchange]

Just draw my name - any one of them and send me my kite. I will put it under the tree LOL. That'd be really kewl.

Just wanted to share some photos of the raw skin and I have to say that this is a true "masterpiece" if ever I've seen on,
aw yeah don't pay attention to the other kites I'm just out of room to photo things.... Ben

Looking good Ben.

Yea Chris,
No kidding!
Ben taunting everyone with not so subtle shots of whats on the proverbial cutting room floor!!!!!!!!

[Scott_of_melnsct]

I say draw now, because depending on who wins this might not be over. Of course Kent has stacked the odds a bit, but there's still hope for the rest of us.

[poolking]

lol. Now Ben has you holding your breath.

I was not able to get in on this one, so I say wait. Now if I was in on this one I would say now. lol.

Have fun with this one, that is a nice skin.

See at SPI Ben.
