I feel sorry, that you got Blake as an opponent. I think, if it was anyone else, you would definitely win. Awesome build dude.

Great build and the humour was excellent! Too bad you were against Mr. Baer, still, this is a worthy entry!

Everybody knows I enjoy a good laugh and this was a great laugh - love that intro! Not to sell the build short though, some nice details and good construction make it spot-on for the category. Unlucky on not advancing, but great job.

Freakin' hilarious! Solid build!

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. My main goal was not to win here (I'm against Blake Baer after all), but to at least make someone laugh, and I'm glad I did :) Thanks again!

Yet another epic, early round battle that, unfortunately, could only have one winner. I too enjoyed the intro and your scene is full of awesome details. Great effort, better luck next year!~H

Josh, This was one of the categories I was most excited about and you did not disappoint! First, I LOVED the intro to your MOC and town. That got the biggest laugh of the round out of me. Your build is VERY good and true to the category. I'm going to award my vote to Mr. Baer however because I really like the way he went off the grid and challenged himself to try exciting angles. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. ~Dave

Funny presentation and excellent carriage!

Excellent entry, Partner! Lots of action and details, but my vote's with your opponent. But really, these would both be great as a new theme.

Sad you did not make it with this terrific little scene. Its so good and still out. I feel with you...

Oh, another close one. Nice work, Josh. BUT...don't ya just hate that...I'm going with Blake on this one. You guys both did a terrific job with color, composition, texture, and even things like action and presentation. For me it came down to Blake's complexity. I think he's got ya there, just a bit. Nevertheless, a terrific entry here, and thanks for bringing it in round 2. Well done.

nice work here! good luck!

Great western style MOC, well done

Thanks everyone! I was a fun build, and I hope to try western again when I have a bit bigger collection. Good luck to all the other competitors as well.

This is great! I've said it before and I'll say it again, I LOVE this contest! So many great ideas and really clever mocs to inspire us all. This is so full of character and fun. Great design on the wagon and the decrepit look of the building. Both Blake's and your great mocs have made me want to try out western! It looks like a great way to have some real fun. Good luck!

I love it! great work man, good luck

Haha, thanks for the comment, Mr. Baer. Good luck in Round 3. I don't intend to go on with this entry, but I hope it gets a good 'groin shot' in ;)

Josh, you seriously had me scared there. Awesome work though, and best of luck with the judges. (BTW if I knew I was giving you a picture just so you could call it "unsightly" I'm not sure I would've! ;)

Thanks Ru. I don't always enter contests, but when I do, I cut it close.

Thanks, it turned out better than I'd hoped!

Can you say cutting it close? Anyway, very nice entry. You did your very best with what you had. Well done Josh!

Thank you, sir!

I love the way you did the coach and the buildings, this is a great scene. Nice work and good luck!

Good effort Josh, I always love a western build!
