Showboard/Storyboard for the Bluerauder

[Bluerauder]

Got to playing around on the computer tonight and drafted up a storyboard/showboard for use at car shows and such. What do you think of the first cut ? Up to Revision 4 now .... :D

Charlie, I'd say it looks good. How long did it take you??

[Tallboy]

The last line should read "1 of only 328...". Other than that, it looks great!

[MM2004]

Me likey! Exactly what I have been wanting to do.

Mike.

Charlie, great board. Congrats. Dennis

Looking Good.:D

[STLR FN]

I give it :up: :up: .

[DEFYANT]

Nice job!

For a second, I thought you were claiming the title of "Worlds Fastest Marauder" :D

[Joe Walsh]

That looks great Charlie!

I've been thinking about making something like that for my Marauder...except that I'm adding mods so often, my storyboard would be out of date almost immediately!!:D

[merc]

Nice show board, can't wait to see it live.:P

[Bluerauder]

Nice job!

Now I wouldn't do that !! :eek: Maybe I'll post my mediocre time on it too -- but I can't even claim "World's Slowest Marauder" .... close but no cigar. :rofl:

Looks good Charlie.
What do you mean by 1:18 scale model?

[SID210SA]

Nice job!

My thoughts as well...people going to a car show dont know you are not Martyo so they may assume you have the "Worlds Fastes Marauder" Just my .02 cents worth. Other than that looks great.

I made some fixes to the original concept to address some of the comments ^^^^ and other suggestions. :D

[Blackened300a]

I had ideas for a board but I really like your idea better then anything I came up with.
Now we have the idea, all we have to do is figure out to make it happen.
Maybe we can have a official MM.net board that gives the general description of what the marauder is, the history and have it break down the productions numbers for each color and option.
If we can get someone who can print them out in numbers, we can all throw ideas in and make it represent all of us as a group.

I think a personalized storyboard is more appropriate to the purpose. Each of these cars is personalized by its owner and as such reflects each person's individual tastes. A generic board just doesn't do that.

The one that you see here didn't really take that long to put together. About an hour, I would guess. It's just a PowerPoint file saved to a JPEG to post here. My plan is to take the file to Kinko's to have them blow it up to poster size and mount it on a foam backing. Pretty quick and easy IMHO.

[DEFYANT]

The revised version looks good bud!

[SID210SA]

The revised version looks good bud!

Again....I concur:D

I concur with this. Remove Marty's info, the show board should be about 'YOUR' Marauder. And the one pic is chopped in the back, needs fixing.

I dropped off the CD with the storyboard file at FedEx/Kinkos. They are pretty convenient to my house. Cost of the printing and mounting on foam board is about $10 per square foot. I ordered three boards for $61.00 (8.5" x 11", 11" x 17", and a 18" x 24"). Will pick them up tomorrow. :D

On my first outing with the Bluerauder Storyboard, the Blue MM got "honorable mention" in the Jacksonville, MD car show. The board works !! :banana:

The Marauders did very well in the show. Of nearly 200 cars, the CAMarauders walked away with 4 awards. Congrats to Joe Walsh on his "Top 25" trophy. Defyant, Merc, and the Bluerauder received $10 Coins for their efforts. This is certainly a first for me. :D

As each of the Marauders was called off during the awards, the crowd noticed the Great Showing. Even the announcer commented on the turnout of the Marauder gang.

The folks at Jacksonville VFD now know who we are and what we have. Lots of positive comments on the Marauder contingent.

Thanks to Defyant for pulling this outing together. It was well worth the trip and sponsored for a very good cause. :bows:

Here's what she looked like at the show ....
