Topic: 1 Trophy, 6 drivers: My solution

Since winning the IOE at Buttonwillow Histrionics (yes, I'm still gloating), I'd been trying to figure out how to make sure everyone got a trophy since as the "captain" of the team I'm not giving up the trophy they awarded us at the venue. So I made some suitable desktop trophies for the other 5 drivers. Hope I don't have to pay any royalties to Jay...

The metal backing is actually a piece of the car that we'd cut out, I used a piece of the official trophy as a stencil and spraypainted the log on it, chunk of 2x4 painted black, and some leftover fabric from the chair, card stock, and styrofoam to make the recliner, and hotwheels mini painted in leftover paint... Voila!

The hotwheel  Mini had the fender flares?
Nice  great job.   Maybe Jay needs to hire you to do a few trophies.

Re: 1 Trophy, 6 drivers: My solution

That's really great!  Looks like somebody is pretty handy with the hot-glue gun.  : )

My team hasn't won anything.  But they ARE a bunch of prima donnas so I purchased a variety of cheap (around $5) trophies with custom engraving so that everybody can be a "winner."

But, shhh, they don't know yet.

I ordered the trophies from crownawards.com.  Great prices (free engraving) and really fast shipping.
